Speaking of depth..check out the drop into the water off the portsides

Evan123, may I offer two friendly suggestions to further improve what you have done? It's up to you if you'd like to do any of these (my opinion can most certainly be wrong) but they are worth considering.
First, as Sabertooth pointed out, the water is very very VERY deep for a port. I would recommend that you raise up the terrain from the bottom, maybe to say a depth of 10-20 meters. As far as I know in general, the shoreline naturally decreases to the shelf of the waterbody in question. It generally wont drop consistantly and significantly (and to construct it as such would be a huge financial undertaking). If they do manage to drop it, it wont be too deep (I could be wrong however but I think it would look better). They would only drop it to the minimum needed for a the biggest boat they plan on loading right?
Secondly, your yard looks great but if I were you, I would reduce some of the switches to the same track. Most railways are looking to cut costs (especially when they are building) and won't duplicate two paths to the same track in a short space unless there is a specific reason (and even then! :hehe
. Does that make sense? If you look at the first picture in your last post, you'll see there is a cut of boxcars (or a short consist) on the 3rd track from the right. I think I can make out 3 switches leading to the 3rd track from the 4th and that would make them redundant (and expensive) to build and maintain. Plus, you'll save a bit on polys and it can be more challenging to navigate a yard when there are less opportunities to cross over.
If that last one made no sense, let me know and I'll show you in a picture what I mean.
Keep up the great work! I think this will be very interesting to drive on!
