Show Off Your Routes *Potential For Large Screenshots*

Thank you for the kind words,Bob. I will be going back to the town of Levi and rebuild the heavy engine service area next with all the great new assets that have come along in the last 2 years. After that some mainline details and the Kentucky part of the L&A will be done!

Here we have part of the L&A's engine complex. The place has earned the nickname "The Silk Purse and Sow's Ear" for the engineering practices of both the suit n' tie and wrench turning engineers. This is the L&A's dual turntables during a photo-op. Here you will see the L&A's big guns; the experimental coal turbine, a few of the triplexs, a number of the articulates, and the company's pride, the J class engines for passenger service only.

Maybe not the most prototypical but does it have "wow"effect in Trainz?

Below we can see the Silk Purse building just beyond roundhouse #1.

Thanks Amtrak

Dave, the only thing unconvincing to me is the use of rail only track for such a large area. Either the textures should be darkened, or get some ballast and sleepers under there :hehe:

Jackson, I think the yard throat in the first picture needs adjusting, the track on the right doesn't look to follow the same angle as the track on the left which has yard spurs. It could just be the angle of the screenshot
 
Thanks guys!
H222: I moved it a bit and it looks better, thanks. I still need to move the fast freight tracks a bit.
Here are a few more shots:
A B&O freight gets ready to run over the P&LE's line and bypass it's own main which follows the river.

A PRR trailer train traverses RIVER tower and then passes an Alco and two SD45s hauling empties up the river line to the ore docks at Ashtabula. From RIVER tower to Ashton, the PRR mainline is five tracks.

Track 4 is used as a passing siding for ore and coal trains originating from the steel mill so they can be routed up the river line to Ashtabula. Originally, there was another interlocking here for these trains, and track 4 was used as a regular main, but in 1924, a modernization program eliminated the interlocking here and the current setup was used from then on.

Jacksonbarro, is your route based off of the railroads around Pittsburgh? Those last two shots look very much like Turtle Creek, PA.
