Not really a new area, but an update non-the-less. I totally rebuilt Arlington Yard after some new info from the "Virtual R&N Top Secret Research Division" 
Everything should be correctly aligned and labeled now and highly accurate (the old version was the one "best guess" on the route).
A loaded coal truck pauses before crossing the tracks to the loading ramp on the other side of the train.
Looking from the other direction. That crossover track is "new".
Crews are busy spotting hoppers because with the domestic demand increase and supply problems with Chinese coal, the R&N's coal business has boomed. They can't ship it fast enough, and need any extra coal hoppers they can find (and i almost orchestrated a real sale of used hoppers to them
).
A shot from the only non-coal(or occasional aggregate) customer in the yard, Tanner Industries, who gets tank cars for transload.
Overhead map.
Unfortunately, i've changed the release date to "unknown". I'm still working on the route, but my final semester at college is just taking up all my time. At least my 25-30 page research paper is on the effects of the Conrail merger in 1976
