I find the yard a real masterpiece.
These areas take alot of time to complete, anyone who has tried to make a large yard would know that.
What is truly amazing is the way you have spaced the tracks evenly and produced a very realistic and accurate representation of an actuall rail yard.

I will have my eyes on this thread for sure.
Cheers,
Woody

CP 2T60-26 the Loset turn, with BNSF run-through power heads east to Loset Lumber Co. to drop off the two CP woodchip hoppers and the two centerbeams at the back. T60's power will then run around to return west to drop off the rest of the boxcars at HLM before returning to MORC terriotry to pick up petroleum tankers billed for NorCon Oil.

KCS I-CLMP's power heads east led by a KCS SD70ACe, a CSX SD70ACe, an NS C40-9W, 9252 - the OLS unit, a BNSF SD40-2 a BNSF SD70ACe, a UP SD70M, a CN/WC SD40-3 Alsthom rebuild, and a WSOR SD40-2!
