If I get over to my dad's tonight I might get a little work done (probably not much though). Or I can get some screenies up of progress. I'll probably only have time to do one or the other so you guys post and tell me what you want.
Still I may not get on Trainz tonight but if I do then I'll look at the vote,

Looking at the tail end from above the bridge:
Crossing over Little Patuxent River (which runs behind my neighborhood all the way in Annapolis area!) :
Crossing over Patuxent Rd.:
Right above it is the Patuxent Block Station (a lot of stuff named after "Patuxent") :
For no apparent reason the NEC splits with one track going on one allignment with catenary gauged for 4 tracks and the other 2 tracks taking the turn tighter with newer catenary built specifcally for the new allignment. Both ways are in use and I don't have a clue why they did this:
NB MARC Commuter Train on the single track side:
Closer up...:
SB Regional blasting through where the tracks meet back up again:
Flying towards the Bowie State MARC Station:
Getting closer:
I'll continue tomorrow with the rest but I gotta go to bed so cya then!

Making its way over a small creek:
Going across a grade crossing:
ex-PRR Distant Signal for the wye:
End of the train, the line keeps on going for at least 20 more miles but right now I have it ending into a portal (only about a mile long as of now) and I may pick it up at a later date:

@UP5521
Thanks man for the support!
@dnutter
Thank you very much!
@srr89
LOL, well things are going swimmingly. I think I'll have my phase up through Baltimore done by Christmas, it really depends on how much retouching I feel like doing. We'll see.
@milkyoreo27
Thanks man and no problem with the link.
@Screamingman14
DLS, the author's name is LieLestoSbrat. Its a whole set of bridges (splines), an example name would be: "4 Track Steel Bridge....."
@JimDep
Thank you very much Jim! In regards to the trees I regret to inform you that they are not a spline, I have to painstakingly place them all. This is actually one of the most time consuming parts of the whole route. Anyways, you can find them on this site:

@marinemania
A good amount is DLS stuff. The 3rd party stuff I will sort out before releasing it and try to get a list with links to it all.
Thanks guys for your interest and if there are any further questions or comments please do not hesitate to ask!
