Carbon & Limestone Railroad. 'The Rocky Road!'
"Whisky River take my mind!" ♪, ♫, ♬
Born at the confluence of Crooked Creek and Riley Creek the Whiskey River flows northward towards the Ohio River. The river will live up to her name when we leave the mountains and get in bourbon country. Those distilleries are fairly decent railroad customers! The catch is they are all but closed down for most of the year. But when they do open the barrels, fire up the distillery & start bottling we will be ready to keep their grain elevator full.
Large stone cliffs loom like sentinels over the river as our local passenger train enters the Whisky River Gorge. You eagle eyed Trainz Surveyors and Civil Engineers can and probably have already spotted a couple of rough mis-aligned tracks, I had it all good yesterday but this morning a couple of spots had slipped. I also just this week had a long trestle just drop to ground level along its whole length when I logged on. Sure easy to fix but the mystery of what is causing that is of some interest. Regardless that's my story and I am sticking to it.
The focal point of the Whisky River Gorge. the river has carved out a horseshoe and left a small mountain or big hill behind looking like a fortress. If this route ever get released you'll see I did my best to make it plausible with how I started and stopped with other ridgelines and river erosion.
Ok, probably not the best use of our funds but we have a bonified cut stone bridge on the C&L route now! Our run of the mill timber trestle built in day by our jake-legs just did not seem right for such a beautiful location. (Side note: To top it all off that's MSGSapper's water we use. It is flowing brother! The water is moving very fast and is white not clear as you can see under the bridge. Awesome stuff.)
Note: Yes I saw that brilliantly insane Gorge that was just posted by Krpkk! Too funny after spending most of yesterday working on this scene. But if your going to run with the big dogs you Gotta get off the porch and mix it up!

@smyers I just looked up his username and found a post that featured some screenies of one of his routes....very impressive. I believe I had seen these in the past. Looking at them now gives me some ideas.... 
G'day Guys,
I was just wondering (hoping / begging) whether there is *any* chance that this stunning masterpiece of a route by @felix_g will ever be released? I cannot find the words to express just how much I love the look of his work in this route.
For those newer members who may not have had the pleasure of seeing it when he was posting his progress shots;

Making a Saturday check-in of my WIP tram route focusing on the areas I worked on.
Starting off, I found a suitable shelter asset for the tram stops (courtesy of user chris_rose_1). Also built a water fountain out of separate assets complete with water sprays from TheBoroughGamer of The Huntington Shops:
Most of my focus was on this area after sharing the last screenshot I posted in this thread. I opted to put on display a B-47 Stratojet (amazing asset from MSGSapper). We can presume that a part of this town sits on what used to be an air force base, and while no traces of it exists anymore, this aircraft serves as a historical landmark of what used to be here. I salute current and retired members of the U.S Air Force, thank you for your service:
And I figured to reveal what name I will give this route by reskinning a hanging sign asset originally made by davesnow. I'll need to ask for his permission for uploading to the DLS once I finish the route:
And that will be all for now. More screenshots will come when time allows.
With regards, jaredvazquez012.

Carbon & Limestone Railroad. 'The Rocky Road!'
Old Crow Distillery. New Customer!
Brought back The Old Crow Distillery. Hidden in a deep valley in Kentucky. A little creek runs through and everything is squeezed in a tight little area. When they closed I went there with our Salesman to make arrangements for the outfit I worked for to do work there, probably 1987. We ended up with no escort and explored as much as we wanted. Never will forget going into an office building and all the old timey tickets & paperwork covered the floors. Jim Beam bought out Old Crow and moved production to Louisville. KY. that year. But it did not look like they had been in there working for a while to me.
Delivering coal on their trestle coal dump. Yeah right right up front, but these guys didn't seem to give a hoot about how anything looked. Every distillery I have been to has been a dump! That cool grey brick euro factory building was as close as I could get to the cut stone the Old Crow Distillery used for construction. We primarily will be bringing in the coal as mentioned and also grain.
That's the run-down on our latest customer that has been signed up by our crack General Freight Agent. Here are a couple of images from reading up on the Old Crow Distillery. Much more available if you interested by asking AI or just googling.

A few more shots...some downtown wandering this time.
.... and yes that is some atv shots riding down the streets....planning a ride along with one of the railroads employees around the route. Future shots of that to follow....
Cheers

@netjam99 - I'm loving the new route shots. Very original...

Nope. No permission needed since all my assets are in the Public Domain. Upload away!!
Thank you sir! Outstanding work on the street scenes. My favorite is the steel mill looming over everything in one of the screenshots.

I appreciate your response! The hanging sign will be uploaded once the route is finished, and I have made sure to give you credit for the mesh in the description
