That last screenshot is amazing. I really like how you set up the grass and the wheat in the water. It looks nice with that old truck moving over the bridge.

Thanks mates!

That ghost town I mentioned is back in those hills somewhere...

Yeah...the only way to get to Doodletown is by trail. The trailhead is down near that bridge. Its supposed to be a couple of miles back in the hills...cool...huh?

I hand place BNSF50 invisatrack, in all my roads, in my rivers, and up in my skies ... so I can drive a car on my roads, or a boat in my rivers, or an airplane in the sky, and railfan my Trainz from that vehicle .. The route looks amazing !

 

[Zorronov]

Thanks mates!

I love the names of things around here. The creek that flows into the Hudson under that little bridge is called Snake Hole Creek...

There are a couple of abandoned iron mines back here too. They produced iron for the rails in these parts. One of them was supposedly owned by Thomas Edison.

Doodletown was on the road to Fort Ticonderoga and troops passed through here en route. There's some story about a connection between the town and the song "Yankee Doodle" but it's probably apocryphal...something to entertain us tourists...

Thanks 817 Taylor!

As you can see, there's still more to do south of Peekskill...including the Tompkins Cove Power Plant (coal fired) and a large quarry. I 've got some great aerial photos so it should be fun! Right now though...I need to start working on Anthony's Nose. :hehe:

More Tug Cam

The Race

40 mph to 70+ mph is not much of a race. That being said, this is not an uncommon scene. Great work Fred.
