LETS GO PENS!
Wisconsin Central train TO46 passes the iconic sign atop Miller Brewing as it enter Milwaukee, led by a leased Amtrak F40PH and a WC SD45....The unusual sight of Amtrak power leading a freight train was made possible when the Wisconsin Central had leased a small group of EMD F40PH diesels for several months, as they wandered WC's system.

That is a truly stunning route, sir!
Is that private or available somewhere?

Looks like that's a mixture of JR's American Intermodal route and Coal Country. Trees have been added to American Intermodal. I have trees added to mine too. Pics shortly from around the same area.

That bulk asset updater tool is very handy, also new scrapbook tool. I dont got the time nor the patience unfortunately to make my own route lol
Mash up on American intermodal, Coal Country, Datsun, Diamond rive mine, oh and other odds and ends borrowed from other routes. and my own additions and tack work in areas. 45ish Mile round trip to load at mammoth mine just south or Richmond and back. takes couple hours. I try to operate it as a living breathing coal heavy railroad.
Alot of time and effort went into these individual routes, I dont want them to fade away into the past trying to keep them alive
I wish I could share with everyone as it is quite fun to operate waste an entire day if you aint careful haha

Heres a few more shots and by a few i mean like 20. Follow a Southbound Manifest across the route give ya an idea of what I got going on so far.
Looking South at Kanesboro Yard WV. (Kanesboro is what was on the giant water tower so thats the name i went with) American intermodal that I threw a couple trees at and some hills blend it in with the coal country route. Removed and added few things here and there.
Alright looking North here is the 2 NS SD40e's doing a cool 40mph southbound through town with a bunch of grades ahead and 9,500 tons of freight. Alot of the trains end up down to a crawl on the grades especially the heavy 12,000 ton+ coal trains cool to watch till they stall out and cause chaos across the rest of the railroad. Could slap helpers on before hand but we like taking chances and making questionable moves here on the Richmond Secondary Division.
Looking South, got rid of an over pass that was here.
The traffic here in the fine city of Kanseboro, WV is out of control in areas dudes be doing 80mph through construction zones. (Think i need to update some of the roads lmao)
Scrapbooked this Elevator scene from the Sandusky route and slapped it onto the american intermodal route
Now onto the Datsun Route area. Southbound approaching Datsun, WV
South through my edited version of Datsun, WV. Manifest snakes its way through the valley down one hill across the river and up another hill. Local stops in from time to time to switch the last remaining rail served industry in town.
Climbing the grade on the other side of the river at Datsun, WV. River is a little high lately
Through Parker, WV
Heres a shot of one end of Peabody, WV. Scrapbooked that little plant from the conrail st louis route on the dls i believe. for a more modern feel. lots of TRC crossings on the route to bad i can never get them to work for more than one session lol. if anybody got any TRC tips ill take em.

Heres a look North? i guess this would be at my version of Richmond, WV (Coal Country Route) I added the elevator scene to the right all by myself no scrapbookin lol
Then Just south of Richmond we have a short Run to Mammoth Mine.
Here is Mammoth Mine (borrowed from another fine JR route) and the current end of the route. Load 120 car coal trains and watch em struggle all the way back to across the route. Track continues south to big stagging yard.
This is the Diamond River Mine also from JR. Access this mine at the branch in Parker WV. Sees 2 trains a day
Heres a few more randoms from the route. I also put bunch of cameras down and accidentally made pretty scenic videos of the route. Maybe I will upload some one day.
