Hello fellow trainzers, for the past few months I have been modifying and upgrading GAURC's Blackberry Mountain route for Rick Goodell, he has given me permission to share my work progress shots here on the forums. Here are the first set of shots.

I will keep you all posted on how this route progresses with the upgrade and modification. Enjoy!

The trees are the Group Fast Pine 7. I'm going to be replacing pretty much everything and adding extra places to run longer trains and stuff.

I honestly don't know yet. I haven't heard back from the original creator yet. When I hear back I will post it along with a set of screenshots, so I'd keep a close eye out.

Since the last shots I posted where from the last time I worked on it several months ago, I have been working on the route again and he is some new shots of the new scenery that has replaced the JVC from the previous post. Enjoy.

GMTX 2667(GP38-2) and CEFX 2005(GP20D) are heading down a industrial spur to a cold storage warehouse to shuffle some cars around for their new spot.

The same to locomotives are seen heading back to the main to head over to the local scrap yard, but they must let one pass before moving out.

EMDX 1201 and 2012(EMD Demonstrators) are seen passing by on the Crooked River Local next the the CEFX 2005 and GMTX 2667.
