Forester1 - yes it is prototypical although I am just staring at google earth on one monitor and creating the route on another so not 100% accurate. And im pretty sure i made the hills twice the size they are in real life lol so got some fixin to do. It is Medicine Hat Alberta. I grew up in the area watching CP when it was busy in the hat. Rich in railroad history. not much action there now. all spur tracks closed except one. So that led me to have a go at creating it from scratch. plan was just to do med hats yard and the spurs in town now im 20 km east on the maple creek subdivision, 5 km south on taber subdivision, and 30 km west brooks sub. hate when that happens! lol
Escd84 - looks good! thanks for the offer but i am quite enjoying creating this route on my own turning out better than i expected, and have gotten quite a ways without losing all motivation for once
Id have more done but i cant stop operating trains lol Need to get at some scenery action
CP 669 Potash loads taking the wye south on the Taber Sub under the trans canada
CP 499 leaving Medicine Hat West on the Brooks Sub. Coal didn't run through the hat that i remember, But it does in my world. In the distance you can so the Ogilives Mill on one of the local spur tracks
Westbound Up the 1.7%. Pretty sure thats the gradient of the hill here.
Bridge is not correct but will do for now
CP 303 Heading Towards Medicine Hat in the distance, Potash loads heading south
The Yard And Elevator In Dunmore Ab just east on Medicine hat.
