Greetings.

Out with the old and in with the new. As the most efficient form of land travel, more rail lines are always a good thing, either through crafting terrain or ingenious civil engineering. This week's theme is Brand New Right-Of-Way. Please send your theme suggestions for subsequent competitions via email or Skype by clicking on the little icons below my username.

One screenshot allowed per entrant. Screenshots must adhere to the theme and the Trainz Forum Code of Conduct.

Submission closes on March 1.
 
A new dam means a new ROW for the limestone quarry railway.

A pair of 30in DM12 diesel locos haul a train of full limestone aggregate hoppers across the new dam.

Not so much a brand new line, as one that's been reopened after being abandoned. Still counts, right?
Hurtmore station, on the newly opened Watley Line:

 
Adding a second mainline

Work crews are hard at work finishing adding a second mainline with concrete sleepers to handle increased traffic to the nearby port. While an intermodal waits on the old mainline. Once the new trackage is complete, the old mainline will get a similar upgrade.

Old trains on a new line:

saikyo_line.png


The Saikyo line connects Ikebukuro station in Tokyo to Omiya station in Saitama, running along the Tohoku Shinkansen.
It was opened in 1985, part a reconstruction of the older and inadequate Akabane line, part built new.

The picture is ambiented in early 1984, when the Saikyo Line was operated by the reliable but obsolete 103 series electric multiple unit, introduced in 1963 as the standard JNR commuter train.
