The engineer of ZCHCSSE9-10A runs through the notches in order to maintain speed through the dip. The train is seen passing through the town of Chester, Montana on the BNSF Hi-Line Subdvivision enroute for South Seattle, Washington.
I don't usually post bare baseboard screens, but this is Norwood Ohio and the final leg of the L&A route. I would like to apologize for the yellow line running through some of the screens as I have a video card fighting to stay alive and TANE is not doing it any favors :hehe:. A new PC is still some months away so I wanted to get a few shots up before a complete crash happens :'(.
Well, I just completed over 50% of the track work as I reached my route's western-most point of Shelby, Montana.
Here we see an empty oil train waiting for the departure of Amtrak 8 which is fast approaching the station. The YSHM101 power waits off to the side for the setouts from HPASHVR-14A
A one baseboard, one day diarama I started yesterday and this is what it looks like right now. I like the format of it a lot even though it is really short.
Track work is now 95% complete on the BNSF Hi-Line. There are just a few loose ends such as a siding or two and signalling. But here is the completed trackwork in Havre.
This is overlooking the Montana Division's main diesel and car shops. The buildings will be custom assets, and the car shop should be completed today or tomorrow.
Next we have the east drill tracks in the foreground and the rest of the yard trailing off in the distance.
And finally the west end of the yard where a loaded BNSF coal drag waits for an outbound crew over Marias Pass.
While this is only only a mere, just started, work in progress, one section I don't really know where else to put this. I also notice that most of these shots are of American routes...
