The Sherman Hill v2.1a is always available at TrainZItalia.

It works in TRS19 and 22, but there are issues with the plane-type vegetation and with the Hermosa Tunnel that sank into the ground (don't ask me why).

Jango started an updated version for TRS19 but so far we have been unable to find it .

There is an error that says that we could not find the item you are looking for. Either the link is spelled incorrectly or do you need an account to download? I thought I had one but that was over several years ago. Can I just start over with a new account and new email? My old email was hacked last year or so and I can no longer access it. Is this a free route? It has Cheyenne, WY in it? That is the home base of the Big Boy 4014 as well as the currently not operating 844.

I signed up again and was able to download the route. I'm using Trainz 22PE and this is an older version but hopefully there are few or no errors. About my mega route plans, I plan to do it for myself only. It's going to be so huge that maybe I will have to split it up into separate sections or else it might be too sluggish. I found an incomplete route DEM of the Chicago area on the DLS with some track laid and stuff and it's huge and it's a bit sluggish. Just a bit. I'm going west to Sacramento, CA and east to Chicago as well as northern Indiana, Ohio, NY State and PA. The places where I believe 4014 is going this year on it's big cross country tour to celebrate the 250th birthday of the US. The eastern leg will go onto NS at Chicago and be on NS east of Chicago. UP never took 4014 off UP rails before. This will be the first time it will go east of Chicago off of UP rails. I have some DEM from Buffalo, NY to Binghamton, NY I made several years ago and down to Scranton, PA and fishlipsatwork DEM from Scranton to Sunbury, PA.

I just installed the route, dependencies and DLS dependencies and it looks good. It looks like the blank fishlipsatwork DEM was used to build it. There are two other blank DEM's on the DLS to extend it to Rawlins, WY and to Sidney, NE. Then a DEM from Green River, WY into Utah. And a DEM from Cheyenne to Denver, CO. Is it set in the past though because there are old billboards, vintage cars (but some newer ones, too) and roundhouses and turntables at Cheyenne and Laramie. I'll have to check, but is the Cheyenne roundhouse and turntable still there? That's the home base for the UP steam locomotives like 4014 and 844. There used to be an Amtrak train through Cheyenne, but it ended. It seems to work ok in Trainz 22PE with no errors.
