Digging this one up I know, sorry, but wanted to add that the UMR series has always been my favorite going back to 2010. The new S2.0 in Plus has really made mass editing of this route a ton easier. I have been doing a significant update of the base UMR 2022 version replacing all textures that I can find with PBR equivalents as well as doing some general route beautification upgrades of buildings and other older meshes, and also upgrading to the new HD grid. I also made my version condensed and compact version based on the map provided in the UMR 2021 thread. I cut it down to the Lewmaple and Oakwood subdivisions to make it a little more compact and easier to navigate in the map view.
@neilsmith749 , if you haven't already been doing the same, I can bundle and send you what I've been working on for a UMR 2024/25 version in order to keep this excellent route going.

Interesting....not from me. No request for permission either. I do have a 2025 version I'm finishing up, but it hasn't been uploaded yet.
Hi Neil,
That's very exciting to just read that you have a 2025 version in the works. I'm looking forward to that.
Kind regards,
Craig
Thank you for the reply @neilsmith749
Looking forward to UMR2025! Always one of my favorite freeware releases. Keep up the great work.

kuid2:60238:26184:1 is a Hotel, @martinvk, the Transcontinental Hotel. I found it on trainzland.
Vulcan still pops on here, send him a PM. Maybe he can upload it to the DLS
Using a Jet Sled, I made a quick trip from the Shaumburg Portal to the Ashleigh Portal (596 km in 32 minutes, 1116 kph) to see what the route is like to travel on.
Nice variety of scenery and industries.
A personal quibble: I know that it is far easier to have tracks oriented north-south and east west and thus follow the baseboard grid but this is a very rare prototype track orientation. Granted from the driver's point-of-view, it makes no difference but from an aerial perspective I find it looks odd. Be that as it may, great respect for the effort in building this route, I couldn't do half as well.
In five places the super-elevation of the track was a bit excessive to the point where the vehicle was tilted almost on its side. Great for speeding around corners but don't stop to admire the view. LOL
All distances are measured from the Shaumburg Portal
+45 km
Just past Elmview at +200 km
+230 km
Just before the West Palmer Crossover 1 +386 km
and just after the Gladston Wye N, +566 km. Somehow I crossed over to the left track, which was rectified at the next crossover.
Strange that this time the right track was not super-elevated. Could the vehicle be influencing the track tilt? I thought that was a track property independent of what is on the track.
