Just few shots out of Waverly OH. The route is not going to be exact. Just long main route for NS. With 2 big yards on each end.
 
Yeah i am not getting to deep into columbus take for ever to do lol. Did get the new NS Intermodal added in to the south about where i have stopped at for now. Track work is about 90%. Thanks for the comments :).
 
If you have any questions, let me know. I railfan this line a lot. The intermodal terminal you are refering to is the Rickenbacker intermodal facility about 10 miles south of Watkins yard in Columbus where the Columbus district (Columbus to Portsmouth) starts.
 
Yeah i lived in Portsmouth most of my life. I been using google earth to try get the track work laid out Watkins yard is where i am going to stop. On the Portsmouth side i am going to run futher south closer to Ironton. Adding in the Haver hill and Aslo NS coal station to unload on to barge. Might even add in the coke plant there at Haver hill. Kind started the Intermodal there at Rickenbacker. To bad could not use JR's Intermodal for it :p. Tracks are stop at Watkins yard right now.
 
I can remember riding to Portsmouth behind 611 many times. I would love to drive this route one day.

That's awesome to hear sureshot! Do you plan on modeling Bannon on the north side Watkins where the Columbus district crosses the West Virginia secondary? It's too bad there are no N&W cpls in trainz because those are still in service in Portsmouth and Bannon.
 
Right now i am going to stop at Watkins I have all of columbus DEMed but i am afriad with how trainz is it would really lag bad !!! So i been cutting out alot boards there in columbus. Yeah i love to have N&W cpls i know last time i was down in the yard there in Portsmouth not much left for cpls :(. I also took out CSX line that ran along with the NS figured be to much but the good thing is i have the orignal dem so with both track layouts. There be more pics to come !!! Thanks for the comments everybody !!!!
