The New York and Seashore Railroad

Hello,
This is my first route. It's inspired by the Jersey Central, Erie, and Lackawanna Railroads, and the locations are all named for real places on those lines. It can be set between WWII and about 1965. The main terminal is Communipaw, the first station (the shelter) is Port Morris, and the second station (the diamonds) is Elizabethport. The large warehouse on one dock is built from the 'pieces' that were used on the old Toronto Rail Lands route. This will be a freeware route available my future website. Here are a few shots:

If anyone has suggestions, please let me know. This route was started three days ago, so this is a work in progress. Please do not complain about the textures at the warehouse or freight house.
 
What assets are you using for Elizabethport Station mate? Looks grouse

Looks grouse ???

Grouse: a medium to large game bird with a plump body and feathered legs, the male being larger and more conspicuously colored than the female.

Looks great to me ... Totally Gnarly: Remarkable; Outstanding; Powerful !

The station I used at E-port was the Laurel Line Scranton station. The platforms are Modern_Platform_Spline, and the tower is Interlocking_Tower_1.

There seems to be some differences between the slang of the South Pole and of Australia. :)

Well, we have a huge update on the route. I have been expanding the railroad and replacing track. Note: I have used some town names from outside NJ, many from the Chicago region, as well as a few I came up with. Here are some screenshots:

Got a little done on the new version. Things are going to be more coherent now that I've made basic plans. Here's a couple of shots from it:
