Steveo... you're a saint.
Sometime over last week (Wednesday I think) Steve sent me his half of trackwork. Over the weekend, I fit it back into place, and began re-arranging the near-flawless trackwork so that it matched the rest of mine better. So, here are some pictures from soon-to-be Chicago:
Missing: one OTC.
The half of the route that he sent back to me included the slightly-sceniced western end of the route which we both couldn't manage to delete. So, I cut out a new place for it in the new route and, for those who like teasers...

I thought I had OTC track all done. Hm. I know I did it at one point, I'll have to look around for it
Steve
Ha. Nah, it's fine... unless you have it. No, I was more referring to the fact that, while I was pre-occupied with taking pictures of the outbound, the inbound took a little tumble where the station is supposted to start.

Well, you can sort of say that. Steveo did the trackwork in and around the downtown Chicago area, and I'm doing the rest. Other than that, Dave and metrarailboy have posted pictures of their own Chicago-based routes.
EDIT
LOL. Never mind. :hehe:
EDIT ON EDIT
Jeez, Steveo too? Man I'm slow!

You're making this look like a few months ago when Amtrak detoured on the West Line. But I don't know where else that could be. Clarendon Hills?

I'm doing the BNSF Sub Chicago to Aurora and maybe out to Galesburg, IL.

No :hehe: Naperville. I know I just like when freight locomotives lead Amtrak. Makes the train look more.... shall I say "interesting."
Ahh. I can see that now. You had me flying all over Google Earth looking for a similar place. :hehe:

I'm trying my best to replicate the area. Just the station is a pain. I need to find stuff that will resemble what the station looks like.
I know. I was planning on making the stations myself... god knows how long that'll take.
