I put my WMATA 7000 series reskin of the Marta railcar on hold to work on my DC route.
I will post updates to route to this thread instead of the reskin thread.

I had my old route which used MicroDem/Tiger/Hog. I started a new route with TransDEM, but I had already done a lot of work with the old route so I am using TransDEM to add to the parts of the route that had not been mapped with tiger and hog. I have added Greenbelt, Morgan Ave, Largo, and New Carrolton to my route with this method. I still need to add much of the red line, Vienna, and the Silver line west of Spring Hill to the map. Much of the track has been laid but little scenery has been added other than a few sketchup models of DC landmarks. Most of the tunnels need to be redone and some bridges added or redone. Track has been laid out for the Alexandria, Falls Church, Greenbelt, New Carrolton, and Branch Ave yards. Union Station needs some work and then the Brentwood, Ivy City(Amtrak) and Coach (Amtrak) yards need to be done. I expect at some point to try to work on modelling the stations or finding someone to help with that part.
I have started a new route including just Union station and the nearby yards to merge into my main route. I traced the route with high res imagery in TransDEM. There are a few areas I still haven't quite figured out, most notably around K tower.
Trouble Area
Any help with this section would be nice.
Compare with the progress with my old route:
