Just sharing some small updates that I am personally doing on this route. Slowly replacing 2004 trees with either speed trees or JVC 3d trees, YARN roads added, Crossings have been adjusted using the ATLS system to be stop and flag on the branches, other minor 2010 type updates. That's about all I'm doing at the moment. Attempting to figure out some sessions for this great route. Maybe Bill and I can come up with a session or two for release?

I would love for you to make this a 2010 route with content that works with whats currently available. For instance, in Highland there is a bridge overpass that is missing (thats why the cars go across the tracks without a crossing) - I can't find the bridge on the DLS anymore. Please feel free to improve so more can enjoy! Thanks!
Hey Bill! Long time no see!
I just installed a 36" shortline on this sweet route. It replaced the road up to my house :hehe: Because roads are so overrated. I'll try to get some shots of it up after these supercells pass over my real house

Great - can't wait to see them. So you are still running this route even though the world seems to be collapsing around '04 - and the route is old news?
Goto the DLS and type in the search term:
turnout
And many choices should be available.

I believe the item is listed as frog or turnout frog. There are different color choices as well

CSX @ Vonny Sub
Here I catch a newly-painted CSX SW7 working Eureka Store's track on the Vonny Sub near Vonny Junction.
CSX SW7 #1115 crosses the highway after backing out of the Eureka Store siding and on to the Vonny Junction track.
The local continues now on the Vonny Sub heading past Eureka Store to the Vonny Wye siding for eventual transfer to another train and back to Juanita Yard.
End of the line for the local as CSX SW7 #1115 pulls on to the siding at the Vonny Wye. Here it will decouple and head back to the siding to await future switching at Vonny.
Note: BillM you can probably tell I did a bit of minor track editing here at the Vonny Wye. I thought it looked a bit more realistic to have the tracks closer together. This is just one of the changes I made to your already wonderful route! Many thanks again for providing us with this route and the many hours of running trains along it!
Cheers!

I actually am -- its in '04 however....... It probably won't have universal appeal.
I am doing a 1910 shortline in Florida. Only about 10 miles long (I think). Its the Suwannee River area.

Sounds pretty cool and different from the P&B. You should start a new thread and post some pictures when you're ready.
