Where is the huge arch bridge in the background from?
 
Being a resident of the Great Capital City Of Ohio I miss dearly, I must say this route is very very well done and can recognize most areas shown in the screenshots........
Well Done, Well Done................ Just not a fan of Pofig SpeedTrees
 
Incredibly admirable work!

You have a talent for using, what others would consider, low detail assets and making a visually stunning route, that I am sure is also packed with plenty of operational opportunities.

10/10, dude.
 
This route is great for me because I live here in Columbus! (I like going railfaning around Lewis Center area too. NS Sandusky line)

Thank you for the compliment and thank you for your assets! :)

Thank you. I try to keep performance in mind but not allow it to limit "the scene". There is A LOT of switching opportunity on the route.

Good to hear, and good day to a fellow Columbus-ite. I have recently expanded the route northwest to Waldo, so Lewis Center is in there now. :)

Also is this going to be released?:udrool:
Yes, it seems I have a problem with adding and redoing things, plus the fact that I decided to get into content creation, I have been replacing and creating assets in the route. There is also the issue of it not being a TANE route, main reason being that Pofig's speed trees don't work in TANE and when while I have no problem replacing them, I would lose their height settings and have to go through a massive route and readjust every tree :confused:SO to answer your question, I have every intention of releasing this route and also have no problem taking on others who are willing and capable to help me.

I love the route.
Thank you.

Where is this?

This is the intersection of Lockbourne and Refugee Rd's on the southside, along Norfolk Southern's "western branch"-the line that originates at CP Bannon (north Watkins) and terminates at Little Miami cabin downtown, to join up to the Dayton district.
 
A little progress. Slowly getting there.
Looking out of the now demolished Little Miami cabin aka Scioto tower.

The old T&OC station. The tracks were at one time ground level here, being raised after a flood in Franklinton (just west of downtown)

Looking North at the bridges carrying NS western branch and CSX Columbus sub. The new Main St. bridge is seen in the background. New as in recently completed by the city and myself :)

On top of one set of the elevated tracks through Franklinton/"The Bottoms". I bar-tended for years at The Spaghetti Warehouse restaurant. Every July this is the place to be for "Red White & Boom" 4th celebration. Fireworks are launched behind COSI next to the river, and people gather everywhere including on the elevated tracks in order to get the best view. I however chose to drink beer on the loading dock located at the rear (technically front) of the building.

Looking eastward towards CP 138 in the Arena District and "Columbus Tunnel". The tracks travel under parking garages and the worldwide headquarters of Nationwide Insurance.

This area was once the location of "HV tower". It's a mess of track work even after much of it's former glory has been removed. Columbus has a very rich railroad history and Union Station was very close by at one time. Work in progress obviously.

I think you should expand the Columbus sub to Prospect because its just a few miles West of waldo. That way both lines could be even.
