csxt17 & applegathc join forces to create: The Lewiston & Pamona!

Being "in the loop" on this project, I can tell you that the route isn't really a recreation, but more so an inspiration of the BNSF Cuba Subdivision from STL to Cuba. Lewiston obviously representing STL, and on the opposite end of the route, the town of Pamona is inspired by Cuba. I personally don't know how far they are willing to go in Lewiston, in terms of what to recreate/include, but what they have so far is impressively accurate.
 
Thank you mp202. I was always curious if the route was inspired by anything. My buddy at work is currently on furloughed status from BNSF. Believe either he was on the Cuba sub or his dad is. He was also out in alliance for a while. But he talks often of Cuba. But I just drove past the MacArthur last Thursday on I-64 on my way into town. You have it designed very very well from what I can see on the north side of the bridge.
 
Hey, quick question about the engines pictured in several shots posted. Are these custom skins of various payware items, or... Just curious about them in general and whether or not they may be available anywhere. Thanks!

Custom skins on payware units, except for the CLW SD40-2's, which are done off of the freeware RBMN SD40-2's.
