Show Off Your Routes *Potential For Large Screenshots*

Alton Junction, Chicago

I have the plans for the junction itself and the area immediately to the east.
10 points, very nice! When you say plans do mean for a route, plans such as map data, or both?

Wow, That looks amazing sp9813. I would definitely love to see that finished!

Thank you very much! Chicagoland in the mid 20th century has been something I've been longing to recreate in Trainz for a while now, and I've probably taken close to 10 attempts at it, then started back at the drawing board each time. First I started out on a bare baseboard, then moved on to an old fishlips DEM, but that track work is so insane when you're using those old MicroDEM models that have lots of artifacts in the map and such! I do have TransDEM now, and this route definitely could see life in the future with the awesome historical topo tool available with TransDEM. Though I'm currently starting a project recreating the BNSF's Southern Transcon in the Southwest states, my Chicago"Rail"land as I call it, is still on my horizon.
 
21st Street crossing of the C&WI, C&EI, PRR on the north-south, crossing the ATSF, GM&O (former Chicago & Alton) on the east-west. Although I am curious about the CB&Q freight going south instead of flipping west at 14th St for the Racetrack. Looks AMAZING regardless.
 
Here's one of my routes (WIP):

East Mahanoy Junction?

EDIT: Actually, it wouldn't be there. The signal is in the wrong place, and there is no overpass. and that is on an existing route. (RBMN)

Both incorrect and a state away. I gave a really obscure location that nobody would know about, so here's an easier angle to guess. Not giving out a beta for this but it's still fun to guess, right?

It's no fun when there's nothing to win LOL. But I'd guess Ludlow, KY or Cincinnati, OH on the Ohio River

CSXT17 guess

My guess would be Cleveland. The Norfolk southern tracks just starting to go under the innerbelt bridge.

Crossing Shaka Gorge in the Tropical Train Forest. I don't think we're in Alaska anymore.

Gotta love digging up old stuff
