Hi there everyone!
Been working on this little project for a while now, thought it was time to share it.
I'm currently working constructing the line between Las Vegas, NV& Milford ,UT which is known as the "Caliente Subdivision". Union Pacific's Caliente Subdivision runs through some great scenic terrain perfect for rail fans wanting to capture there next breath tacking shot. Well i wanted to be able to show this through trainz and this has always been something I've wanted to create for trainz and its slowly coming to life!
A little about the subdivision, as the Caliente Subdivision being one of the longer subs around at 242 miles, a majority of this sub lies in southern Nevada, with a smaller portion in the state of Utah. The line passes through desert, washes, forested mountains and high plains. There is never a lack of scenery almost anywhere along the way. With the line getting up to a max track speed of 70 mph while the sub carries a comfortable 20-25 trains daily ranging right through from intermodal through to cement.
The time period will be modern day, as that is the period I find most interesting.
I plan to complete the line from Las Vegas MP334.3 right through too Milford MP576.7 Including the branches in between such as the one leading to Moapa Valley. Criticisms and general feedback are much appreciated as I really like to get everything as close to real as Trainz will allow...
I would also like to give a huge huge thank you to Gwapo50 for all the time and effort he put into all the DEM work on this project. The route it self will be constructed in 3 or 4 sections at a time with the all sections being merged once complete, like anything.. its starts off with small steps and grows with time, this route still in its early life but seeings im enjoying this at the moment i look foward to every chance i get on it! Cheers Daniel!
