CSX Sanford Sub (WIP) 1280x800 Pixels (some BMPS)

I may have only spent 2 nights, but that only provides the effort to complete this area in time for CSX Q456, Taft to Waycross. Seen at Pine Castle north of Taft Yard. See one of my YouTube videos to compare.



This route fills the plate of the Jacksonville DEM by Fishlips, but I am extending 25m ish terrain down to Davenport near Auburndale.

The route will go from east of the Can Yard Connection near Auburndale north, inclusive of FCEN and the Stanton powerplant, north to Jacksonville, where I am iffy on whether to include FEC to Bowden or not. This totals over 100 miles, just like any other route I am doing.

looks good!

Thanks! I hope to expand on this route soon. I'll add picturesque areas soon.

Please tell me you will include the Auto Train Terminal or does this line not go near it?

The Auto Train terminal is right next to the line at Sanford, halfway between Orlando and Jacksonville.

Amazing route

Based off the screenshot and the info about the route, it looks like it's going to be a swell route.

CSX Sanford Sub, part of the A Line, is the designation from just east of Auburndale Connection to the curve at Jacksonville. It runs through Taft, Orlando, Winter Park, Sanford, Deland, Palatka, and into McGirts Creek and in a sharp curve into Jacksonville's Moncrief Yard.

FCEN Transfers in Orlando, connecting by a sharp 90* curve north of Jefferson Street. I did not include that yet.

There will be about 5 yards, the Taft, Pineloch, Kaley, Rand, and Moncrief.

The route runs on CTC territory, with passing sidings and a long 2-track stretch thru Pineloch, Kaley, and Orlando areas. The NE is around Longwood.

Two coal facilities will be included, the Stanton Power Plant and the Seminole Electric, in Taft and Palatka respectively.

Amtrak serves 6 trains, the silver star, meteor, and the Auto Train, like our buddy Davis mentioned.

Florida Rock has a distribution center in Orlando, barely taking in S FLA dung by the month and IDK how often rock comes in from Alabama.

Conrad Yelvington has a mouthful of centers, at Davenport, at Taft, at Kaley, at Sanford, and at Jacksonville. They distribute rock coming in on K950 from Miami for Kaley and Sanford and K790 for Davenport, off of Miami.

I completed laying Taft Yard and got the Auto Yard laid up. I also got Florida Rock built up as well as some brush.

We were neighbors...

Thanks for working this part of FL, Mr. Brick...

I have the west end from about Haines City through Lakeland to past Winston Yard, Stokes to Ft Mead & all of Bone Valley done as a new DEM, with Topo overlay.

I'm doing track & signal, need help with scenery.

Good Luck on your side!

The HOG textures are on the DLS.

Holy crud, Allan. Sounds great! I will be happy to help you with scenery!

Were you able to find any FCEN locomotives?

Wow this looks alot better than mine lol

cool route

This is going perfect with the A-Line that I'm making.

The Taft yard that you are building is the one in Orlando correct? I live so close to it I can hear the horns of the trains from my house.

can someone tell me were to get these and use them?
PLEASE?

If you are asking about the signals, the mast signal in the middle is by BNSF50, it is on the DLS with many more. They are great. The overhead gantry signals I believe brickbuilder711 made himself and are not available. I could be wrong.
