Amtrak 316 starts north from St. Louis, and is cruising through Venice, IL, past the Ameran power plant.

An empty UP container train, headed by ACe 8485 is making its way south through Venice from Lennox Tower. In the background, a work crew takes a break from dismantling the old Illinois Traction System bridge to the McKinley Bridge.

Norfolk Southern also has tracks through eastern Illinois. An NS crew is working at switching out the auto rack tracks off Route 3. The engineer of the UP gets his apprach signal, and with a friendly taunt to 316's engineer, sets off for the MacArthur Bridge approach.

So far I have track from the UP yard at Alton to about a mile and a half south of the Merchants Bridge, and scenery in spots around Wood River, Lennox, Alton, and Venice. I still need to lay track in Madison yard, but most of the Illinois part of Terminal RR's Merchants Subdivision is laid.
 
Nice....This is the route that goes in that big circle....Right??? Or do I have it mixed up with another route??
 
I agree with Nick. Great shot Epoche3bis4 !

BTW could you please tell us wich route is that and where to find it ?

Actually I have three Projects, these Pictures are from my fictional Southern Pacific Layout WOLF CITY, and I think it's a never ending Story :D;)

Answers to another Screen from me:

@ jadebullet, that Hayes Offroad Logtruck is from Idiotbouy and you can get it from the DLS, the Wooden Crane is from Bendorsey and you can get it also from the DLS.

@jpereia, it's the Product Holzstapel 6m from Topae and I don't know where I get it. I'm sorry.
