BNSF Seattle Subdivision. *Large Images*

Hello all. I have started on a DEM based route called Kelso East. It goes from West Longview,WA up to where Green Mountain use to be, it also goes from around MP 40(Around Tenino, WA) to BNSF Seattle Sub MP 104.0(North of Kalama, WA).

PROJECT RESTARTED!!!!

Hello all, ever since my Trainz crash back in July of 2010 I have been slowly getting the content back that I lost and backing it up. One of the things I lost was this route. I have restarted the project back in late May. Here are some screenshots of the restarted project.

Screenshot #1 A southbound BNSF Z-train meets a northbound BNSF Coke Train around MP 90.

Screenshot #2 a BNSF Z-train led by a BNSF SD70ACe, a BNSF SD60M H2, and a BNSF GEVO passes by just of the Ostrander Crossovers.

Screenshot #3 Here are the Ostrander crossovers(MP 93.4)

The tracks have all been placed on the BNSF Seattle Sub from MP 86(Castle Rock, Wa) to MP 105(Kalama, Wa), more shots to come of these areas. The only track left to place along this is the siding in Castle Rock, Longview, Jct, all spurs and industries in Longview, and the BNSF Seattle Sub MP 86 to Tenino, WA. More shots to come soon. Stay tuned.

Thanks for the comments folks

I redid the track layout of Longview Jct to where it's a little more realistic. I'll have some shots of that tomorrow. But I have one for now.

A NB M-HKFI(UP Hinkle, OR to Fife, WA Manifest) lead by 2 UP SD40-2's, Crosses the MP 100.1 bridge after it completed it's work at longview.

More shots tomorrow. Enjoy!

Very nice yard ladders ... everyone should take notice of the two lowest bottom overlapping spline points (figure 8) pattern ... it is the best way to allign spine points ... looking great !
