CSX Miami / Homestead Subdivisions 1280 x 800

[brickbuilder711]

Basically, one can say I am really branching out and making all these routes, but I will be sure to return to progressing on the FEC in both the KWE and the real thing. This route is one I wanted to do for the longest time, will contain three masssive spurs and be two subs, the Homestead, on DTC, and Miami, on CTC.

So tonight we run O721-20 west to switch Cemex.

These shots are from 107th Avenue in Doral, along the Lehigh Spur. This is in fact the nearest crossing to my house.

Then these are from 112th Avenue.

Turnpike overpass so you guys can see the beam spans I've been working, and failing with the textures. : P

Yes, the Miami Subdivision is owned by FDOT and provides Tri-Rail service. I'll be sure to get to those parts soon.

Why is that Rolls royce driving on the left-hand side of the freeway? If you need help with multi-lane traffic and replacing the cars for nicer ones, I can help you with that... and if you would also like help building the TRCX stations I could possibly help there too if ya'd like.

Thanks Isaac, you know how South Florida is: six lane roadways and what not. I might take over the Tri-Rail stations myself, I might make my way to Hollywood Station someday and take add'l pictures. I can use nicer, newer cars on this layout...

Well despite school going on I was able to manage a few pics over the weekend.

This is by far my favorite intersection along the Lehigh Spur. This area is remarkable for the easy access and the nice curve there.

12th Street

Galloway Road (the favorite) I need three lane gates that do not bend...

No no no, I understand Florida and multi-lane motorways, but that green Rolls is on the LEFT side of the median(look closely), thats why I said left-hand side of the road, I should have been more specific(right-hand lane on the left-hand side of the median)... is it because you used 2 two-way traffic splines?

Just to allow the road to appear I classed it as "ROAD". I guess freeway allows it to be one way. Definitely can appreciate some guidance with the way South Florida is with 3 lane roads and more.

Oh yes, of course! I bookmarked that page a month ago. I'll try to follow on his footsteps, albeit in a digital world.

I'll give a shot at most buildings since I don't want to dedicate too much time to slow moving spurs.

Laid track up to the OS Touch Tone signals at Miami Int'l.

They work as they should; No problems.
