The route is look good, but if I can make a couple suggestions?
The Tail's on the Wye are too short. You have room for exactly 1 SD-40 @ 0 MPH.... So if your engineer was moving a little too quickly, bye bye work order, Hello Wrecking Crane. In general operating practice, Wye's tend to have at least enough room for 2-3 Locomotives to approach and come to a complete stop @ ~15 MPH or so. If you drug the entire wye closer to the other track in the shot (The one that runs parallel to it), you'd have room for at least a bit more before you hit the end of the baseboard but just adding another Baseboard would probably be your best bet. On that note as well, Railroads in the last few decades have sold off alot of RoW (Right of way), and the primary way they do that is by bringing track closer together. Its not uncommon for engineers to feel like they'd break their arm clean off if they actually stuck it out the window at this point....
Ballast... If you were a Railroad employee and you dropped that much ballast around the RoW, your boss would inform you he wasn't your boss anymore, and to grab your last check otw out the door.... In alot of areas, particularly flat areas, Ballast is used only to ensure the Sleepers won't shift. The ballast included in most 3D track Splines now is all you need for alot of places. Fill the rest in with Dirt, Grass, Clutter, w/e you want. Dirt is usually a good way to go, particularly since your road seems to be big enough to afford Weed Spraying in one form or another.
After that, if thats Payware you're reskinning, you do know that you likely won't be able to share it? You can ask for permission, and they might even let you, but I wouldn't count on it. Those SD-40's look nice, and I think you did a good job reskinning them, but they also look like JR or RRMods quality, and both of those will file against you with Auran if you don't ask them for permission if you try to ever share those locomotives. Just a friendly reminder if you already knew that.
After that, keep chuggin, be interesting to see what else you post. Takes alot of time and effort to make a route. Take your time, experiment, see what you like and what you don't.
