They test train safety there by crashing them.

Ah yes, TTCI. Located in Pueblo, it is where they do tests of new rolling stock to measure how good the equipment is and that sort of thing. I know that they also to the occasional crash test as well as speed tests of rolling stock. I also believe they test rolling stock that was involved in an accident and see why it failed. At one point in time, TTCI actually used to be open to the public.

Is anyone interested in this route ... Or is it just a waste of time to create it ?

I am looking on some DEM's if that area NE of Pueblo CO is included.

It might be a fun little test route for testing Trainz.

What do you think ?

They do crash and burn tests here, and fire training, as well as testing high speed trains.

It is @ 5 x5 miles area.

Does it have a rail connection? Reminds me of Area 51 and Booneville Salt Flats (or wherever they set speed records).

 

[simulatortrain]

Yes, that's how they get things there.

 

[cascaderailroad]

The area is a couple miles NE of Pueblo Co, and the connection to the E/W mainline, is to the south, and trains must pass through the huge chemical processing dump /depot site, in a very desolate, desert like area.

Booneville Salt Flats (or wherever they set speed records).

That'd be Bonneville Salt Flats, near Wendover Utah, northwestern corner of the state. You may have seen the movie "Worlds Fastest Indian" a time or two, which is a good movie now that i recall it.

I'd honestly like to see the entire facility modeled (the test tracks and the dump site) but that's just me and my two cents.

 

[cascaderailroad]

Is there any interest in this route being created, by me, or a DEM (although I think it's kinda' flat out there, in them parts) ?

I like it as it is like a huge, full scale, model RR
