CN 89 pauses at Black Horse Rd. for Strasburg's infamous Ghost Whistle!

Oh yeah, I remember that. I wasn't scared when I heard it, I thought it was the echo from the surrounding hills.

Oh, what is the kuid and name of the grass with yellow flowers?
 
Nice Shots Mr. Warhorse! Same to everyone else!

This photo is the brainchild of too much time, and a blank gimp canvas.

A lot of terrific shots posted again. Great stuff everyone! They just keep getting better.

I haven't had much time to work with my route but here's one a little farther west. The cows don't seem to be getting enough to eat. Some of them are sure skinny!

Cheers,
Jack

That's a great looking engine Rick. You must be having a blast driving all your new ones around. Sounds like the new monitor you ordered will be a nice one. It's a pretty good size. I have a 22" that I thought was huge after having had a 17" for years, but now I sometimes think a little bigger would be nice. Of course my wife would probably do something nasty to me if I bought another one when this one is perfectly good. Let us know how you like your new screen when you get it.

The cows in my last screenshot will get replaced eventually. I just threw those ones in there for the time being. Still haven't had too much time to do anything. Need a rainy day so I can stay inside.

Have a good one,
Jack

Steve, a 42" screen might not be a bad idea. At least I wouldn't have to wear my glasses!

Rick, I've been buying all my computer related hardware from a small shop here. They do good work and built my present PC. I know if I look over what I've done on my route so far there is a lot left to do. I've been mostly just laying track, putting down some buildings, trees, etc. and doing the ground textures. I went back and spent some time redoing some of the grades the other day. Some were a bit steeper than they should have been. As for smoking, I tried it when I was a kid but that was it. Good luck with quitting. I know it's not easy. My brother used to smoke and he would quit every so often to save some money when he wanted a new toy, then he would start again. Now he sounds a little like one of Steve's engines when he's climbing stairs.

Dragonharh, I like seeing what people are doing as they work on their routes. It's interesting to see before all the scenery is in place. Those pictures look familiar, especially the bridge! I was really chuckling as I listened to your comments when you crossed it!

Looking good there CNSD40MRT.

Cheers,
Jack

Very nice screenshots as usual from you Erik! I really like the ground textures along the road and track. Very well done!

I had to go back to city to get this one since I haven't made any progress going west lately. CN does some switching at the Viterra elevator while CP goes by heading for the yard.

Cheers,
Jack
