Blue got in trouble this week.........
Good Monday day to all,
I have been quite busy with trying to finish the installation and error checking of Platinum upgrade.
Everything was going well till I tried to hurry up the "Open For Edit" submissions.......By opening adding File Submit Windows, I had 4 of them open, usually works for me.....But this time I got bit with a Crash to Desktop with Trainz!!! Didn't think too much of it, had it happen times before.......
What I didn't know, I had much larger Problems caused by my trying to hurry things up......
A day later, when looking at the My Content for Routes, I found couple of my Routes were not in the Trainz, they had vanished, My Alaska Merge and several others........
When I went to my old Data Directory and did a re install of Data files, no Route was there in Backup Directory, reason why, I had not worked on Alaska Route in the last two weeks......
OK now I would next go back to my CDP Export files and do the reinstall. Oh but wait, I deleted those files 2 days earlier, and I had turned off my Carbonite Backup to speed things up while making the Installation of 89000 Files......
So I messed myself up 3 ways from Sunday, bummed out, kicking myself for making dumb mistakes, things I know better than to do!
One last place to hopefully find a copy of Alaska Merge was go back thru 2 weeks of Carbonite Backups on Cloud and hopefully find a copy?
Results: I found one that was from Late November, and it is Viable. But I have lost 2 months worth of work.....Yes it saddens me, and yes I messed up pretty bad.....
On the upside, at least I didn't lose the whole route!
Ok so distilling my errors here:
Dont try hurry up Trainz when your downloading Assets to install, in my case 40000..
Don't delete your CDP backup files from old installation to new one, until, you make sure your stuff is backed up.........
Now there is a Ray of Sunshine in this.....I do keep 2 Backups of all the Payware items,, and other Asset Builders Files I have downloaded over the years plus several CDP from Content Manager Route Backups.....I didn't make one for my Alaska Route.......And a few others, so it needs to be updated......
So you could say, your Backups are only as good as they are up to date.......Like anyone else, I got behind a bit.....I need to bring backups to more current......
Understand, I am not complaining here, just sharing, I have no one to blame but myself for not doing things the way I should done them......I take full responsibility for my actions......
Ok lets move one here: Blues You Tube picks for this week.

Short Line Railroad Switching, Classic Locomotives Work Grain Spur, Cincinnati Eastern Railroad CCET
https://youtu.be/FJioMxfrAgA
Classic locomotives setting off cars at the grain elevator spur. Short line railroad Cincinnati Eastern Railroad has started using the grain spur again on a fairly regular basis. In the past year the grain spur has only been used a handful of times but recently I filmed an 8 car train come from there and now we see them set off a couple more cars to be loaded. The train is seen setting off the cars for the grain elevator SW9 to pick them up. This was filmed in Winchester, Ohio on January 11, 2021. I also include an awesome shot of the train crossing the huge trestle east of Winchester, Ohio over Elk Run. The train picked up 68 more cars at Mount Zion just east of that trestle! That video will be out soon. The train was taking those cars to Peebles for storage.

UP 8444 in Film
https://youtu.be/bTSU3QaBKfU
A recent viewer request prompted this effort, a compilation of Red Moser's footage and scenes from the Ebay vault, taken between 1976 and 1980, covering a number of Denver-Laramie trips with UP 8444. Included are several light engine moves which were routine at the time, shuffling the engine between Cheyenne and Denver. Also included is a brief cameo of Amtrak's San Francisco Zephyr making its stop at Laramie WY. Sounds are from contemporary recordings as well as more recent runs of the 844. Enjoy!
=============================================================================
(Blues Notes) This operation has to be tough when you look to read the whole Story, and what they are trying to do, to get his line open.......I hope they are successful in this quest, the determination and drive is surely demonstrated here!

These are the latest Pics of the Alaska Merge
I have to rebuild a lot of this, going to take some time for sure, these pictures will be used as reference while I rebuild the Route.....At least I have for now......In my Screen Shot Directory.
Lots of Texture to redo......Won't be bored, LOL ......
Grace saving Pictures here, as one of merge route piece wasn't in with the older Route Copy I found. I keep a Photo history Directory if I remember too, for most of my Routes.......Especially this Route, where there are 5-7 merge pieces involved........It helps a lot for reference on things that go horribly wrong like this week........
Time to get back to Trainz and get things straightened up......Have a good day, and God Bless, for those ill with Covid, I pray for your recovery.......Peace
