Is there a way in surveyor to place mileposts close to accuracy. The only way I know of is in drive but when I get where I want to mark it there is no way. thanks funnnyfarm

Wish I'd known about those assets -- I roughed out thirty miles with the ruler, then went back over with a speeder and counted ties to the nearest landmark according to the odometer when one was off...

You just wasted allot of time, as RR's do not necessarily place a milepost, at each and every mile location ... some markers are mile & decimal (ie: 237.6), and only at major signal or control points, or are spray painted stenciled on electrical cabinets, or a bridge, or stone abutment

Not.having.a.way.to.apply.such.and.wanting.a.way.to.reference.things,.I.spent.an.evening.or.two.of.the.eight.years.it.took.to.build.the.route.on.laying.out.the.mileage..It's.a.branch.with.occasional.signals..Besides,.it.was.kind.of.fun.in.its.own.way.
Sorry.for.the.fullstops, there was a solution for them posted the last couple of days, and I read it and promptly forgot it... Now there, it cleared up on its own. ????

Which should be easy enough to measure using a Trainz ruler set to Imperial - 440 yards or 1320 feet.

I suggest you try that ruler in a curve
. That sound you just heard was "easy" flying out of the window :hehe:.SantaFebuff
That's So Trainz Forum
Not all, but almost all. All the railroads out here are marked every mile of track. The major points you mention still have specific locations marked such as 52.4 or so forth. But this is in addition to each actual mile post being posted.

-I just created some boxes, acting like railcars, to gauge my mile marker distances. But not all miles are actual miles, for example, the first three miles coming out of Barstow on the Cajon Subdivision are long miles, in other words, longer than 5,280 feet.

Thank you, oknotsen, I "spoke" without thinking! My apologies.

If the distances are critical, then using ultra long cars will give you short measure. With long cars you are actually measuring with a series of straight lines. It seems that short cars would be preferable.
