Major Tri State Area Project

After taking a ride on the LIRR into Babylon, I've had a sudden interest in the LIRR. How's that portion on the route looking?

Nice, the LIRR is an interesting railroad. I have not been on the Babylon Branch but I've ridden the Long Beach line and the Montauk line. The LIRR portion of the route is on a hiatus but I'll begin work on that branch again very soon. Do you know if there are any DEM's created by Fishlipsatwork for the LIRR?

I could check

SPV-2000 sitting on the spur track near a crossing in Milford on Metro North's Waterbury Branch.

Did you use a transdem for this whole route?

The Waterbury Branch, Port Jervis main line along with the Bronx and most of Manhattan is built on a DEM from Fishlipsatwork. The LIRR from Penn Station to Queens and Long Island is built on a DEM I created in Transdem.

*via* Wait wat!?

Nice work, malikrthr. Can't wait till the proud day when this project is finished.

Thank you Applegathc I thought an excursion trip on the Waterbury Branch with a VIA coach would be nice. It's far from home though.

Me too. I am really liking how this project is progressing.

A little bit of progress. Working on optimizing the urban part of the Major Tri State Area. I thought the grazzy grass with about 3 or 4 types of Pofig trees and the forest summer trees would be a good mix. Back to the NEC in the South Bronx

The route looks good. I actually was going to start the same route, Amtrak from Philly to New London, CT using Fishlips DEM's joined together. Also, add the NJT North Jersey Coast Line in from another DEM, merge the Harlem Line from DLS in (is there any restrictions on using a route by Auran with your own route?) I might merge Philly to Wilmington into the route, using one of the prebuilt routes, why is there a ton of them on the DLS by different users? And maybe Farejoint's routes to Wash DC or use Fishlips DEM. Flusi (Felix) made most of the NEC in two parts but his site disappeared and he only gave the download links to certain people. And he said that you can't add on or modify the route and send it to people or upload it anywhere. So, F him, I'm starting my own version. Someone made Secaucus Junction in NJ but it doesn't match up with the DEM location because it was built on plain baseboards and not oriented right. There's a PATH route on the DLS that looks like it uses DEM. But then again, what is the legality of merging other's routes with your own? Unless you keep the route to yourself. There's also a NYC subway route but not sure how well it would match with the route. My father who passed away March 8, 1986 was born in the Bronx in June, 1943. His family moved to Tamaqua, PA five years later, then Allentown, PA in the 60's, he was in the Air Force in Vietnam and got a job at Bethlehem Steel where he worked until March 7, 1986. The steel plant in Bethlehem closed Nov. 18, 1995. Beth Steel is now absorbed into a foreign steel company from Europe.

Where did you get that station?

I thought I'd work on something different this weekend. Starting to work on the Port Jervis line. This was taken at Suffern.

Where did you get that station? And the platforms?

Good afternoon everyone. I am glad to be able to catch up on working on the Major Tri State Area Project. I am currently optimizing it for TANE by adjusting the heights of some of the grades along the route and adding new scenery. Below is a screenshot of a Metro North M3 and M8 at Williamsbridge in The Bronx. Sooner or later, I will have to make a graphics card upgrade. For the most part, it runs decently with the shadows, antialising, and high draw distance but even with the SSD, frames drop and stutter in areas with a lot of scenery and tracks.

Nice to see you still plugging away at it.

Excellent work, keep it up! I've been following your progress for years. Glad to see you still dedicating time to this! I know the struggle, dealing with my BART route, but when we're both done, Trainzers will rejoice, lol

-A :wave:

Thank you boc61 and acelejalde. I am glad to continue working on this project. Most definitely, lol
