Northeast Corridor Newport News, VA to Boston-South Station, MA (1024x 768 pixels)

[sams49]

just wondering are you planning on prototyping ny penn station on your route. Because what would the nec be without penn station

 

[strench707]

Gandalf0444 will be but if he doesnt come through (even though he will) I have a back up already lined up and if I dont have permission for that then I will make my own. I cant just skip over penn.

I can't seem to get any phoot's so do this, go to google enable maps enter metro DC King Street Yard than zoom in follow the tracks sooner or later you'll get an airborne image of king street yards.

I will be doing it seeing as my route includes Penn station already,I don't see a reason why I wouldn't add it when it is the most important part of my route lol.

 

[strench707]

Yeah, its a pretty awesome place! Im assuming ur going to do sunnyside too.

L'Enfant (Washington, DC)

Alright, I have taken a break from WUT because completeing the catenary was kinda my mile stone, lol. Now I have been working on L'Enfant which is in the general vicinity of the junction between the freight bypass around DC and the Virginia Ave tunnels from WUT.

So for starters we have a CSX Coal manifest heading south to Newport News, VA with empties:

(Notice I took the wires off the catenary to more prototypically represent this trackage, it sgauged for the orgional 5 tracks but CSX only operates 3, and not too long ago it was only 2)

Here we see a VRE Commuter Train from Fredericksburg, VA approaching L'enfant enroute to WUT. Thanks to Thallium for a wondeful reskin!

Approaching the platform at L'Enfant

Here the two are meeting

Crossing over 7th Street SW:

2 of the 3 tracks occupied on the overpass:

The rest will be continued on the next page. BTW this area hasnt had much time put into it yet so dont be discouraged if it looks alittle barren to you.

 

[heaven7]

WOW!!!Very nice.Looking forward to this

 

[strench707]

Cntd.

Okay lets resume shall we?

Here we are stuck in between the two trains:

V06 is highballin' out while the CSX coal train gets closer to clearin the station.

Here's the train again on the 7th street bridge:

Another random shot:

The end of the train:

Crossing 9th Street SW

And for the last shot I just decided to pop back into surveyor to show where I set up the two trains.

If you guys have any questions or concerns please dont hesitate to ask.

Comments are always welcome,

Davis

o my god use jaleels marta train as a multiple up of 6 cars and run it on you route set it under cabin mode and high ball it down the current nec route you have. For 25miles on one route I clocked it at 290mphs:udrool::mop: it really cool what happens at the end of the line. Davis really try it lets see if you can beat my clocked record.
