Catskill Mtn RR/Ulster & Delaware RR

[ApproachMedium]

This thread is aimed towards locating another user whom, if memory serves, is working on a Catskill Mountain RR/Ulser & Delaware RR route. I recall seeing a post from this person over a year ago, and after searching threads I thought the post was in, I have come out empty handed.

The reason I'm looking for this user is because I too am considering creating a DEM version of this route, and am looking for a partner familiar with the area and the rail road itself. Hopefully to combine our knowledge and expertise to create a full representation of the line in Trainz.

I grew up along the ROW and my grandfather worked on this line under NYC and PC ownership. I also have recently purchased several books with track diagrams of the entire line from Kingston Point to Oneonta NY. For a very brief time before I moved away I volunteered with the CMRR in it's restoration through Kingston.

I haven't decided on an era for the route, but I'm leaning toward NYC ownership, transition era, but continuing passenger service into the later 50's. I feel this was a really great time for the rail road, and would be a lot of fun to recreate and maybe release.

Joe,

It is an excellent railroad to model. I was first exposed to it back when I was running Train Dispatcher. I encourage you to proceed with this project. It sounds like you have done a lot of research already.

Thanks, David! It's quite an amazing little branch in my opinion. And since I'm familiar with the area it should come along quite nicely.

With any luck I'll be able to get started on it by the end of the month. Work has quickly taken over my life, but should be slowing down very soon. With that comes Trainz season, some call it winter though :hehe:
