Looks really good so far,keep going.

[Ferrous]

I agree with Michael, this is looking great! :D

One pointer, though, try turning up the Train Poly Count under "Surveyor Options" in Surveyor...it'll keep the trains from appearing to distort and collapse in on themselves. :wave:

[amtrakey]

Thanks for the tip;)

Hey dnutter, I totally agree. Last time I was up there on a Boy Scouts trip we stopped by on my way home and saw the most interesting CSX freights. Whenever we go to Ashland, VA the CSX motive power is always the same.

But this time we saw 5 trains in 20 minutes.

First there was a train with 2 C44-8Ws and then an MP15AC. Can you nelieve they had a switcher on a main run?

Then we had some normal trains.

Then we got a freight being pulled by an UP geep and a BNSF H3 geep.

Finnaly we saw a work train pulled by a slow U-Boat and it had a rusty caboose on the end.

What an interesting place.....

Right from the Baltimore Harbor.

It follows the old B&O route.

Interesting, I presume there is no Amtrak on that until just east of Harpers Ferry, or do they join in closer?

Davis

[amtrakey]

Amtrak meets at Point of Rocks, MD. Same goes for the MARC Trains Too!

[strench707]

Okay, I've been to Point of Rocks. Its a nice town, that is interesting to know.

Davis

[amtrakey]

[amtrakey]

A couple years ago, CSX has made Trackage Changes to the line in Cherry Run, West Virgina.

I still don't Know if I want to put the new trackage in or the old which has a very old and neat Switching tower Called Miller Tower.

Does anyone want Miller tower or just the new Trackage?

[lsstaten]

put the Miller tower in thats a neat tower. also the Hancock tower got torn down to. im doing this same route but in the 80's era. nice pics.

[firestorm32]
