New US Route

[artimrj]

Something like that was discussed a while back but kind of fell apart.

Me and the NERW crew took that project over. Got close to 300 miles of track down. Named all the towns and m aking the dscv for the GPS functions. Rich made us a new texture that fits with ScaleRails really nice and more are coming. I am using all the assets from RWA's library and then some. All freeware.

Yep! I remember you taking that project over.

It was my fault, really. Didn't want to work on my computer, so I couldn't do my part and pass it to the next guy.

[NYWhiskey]

Don't be sorry, we were moving on to the next project anyway.

If anyones interested in modeling the old Lackawanna line in North East PA, I'm looking for some help on that project wich is coming up soon. This will be in present day but will have some older scenarios. The modern scenarios will include Steamtown NHS, Delaware-Lackawanna shortline, Reading and Northeren, some CP yard actions with some older EMDs and some Through traffic, and for locomotives their will be Alcos, older and newer EMDs, and some steam power from the NHS and R&N. The route will start in Scranton PA and branch off to Tuncannok, East Stroudsburgh, Southside Scranton and Pittston. Anyone interested than PLEASE PM ME!!

Rolling Hills (Windows XP Bliss.jpg haha).
Beans. (Looks like Southwestern variety).
Cowboy (West and Southwestern).

Must be the Powder River Basin in Wyoming.

Rolling Hills ---> Great Plains/High Plains with rolling grass hills can be found in Wyoming
Beans ---> there are pinto beans in the picture; pinto beans are an important agricultural product of Wyoming
Cowboy ---> nickname of Wyoming: "Cowboy State"

Ladies and Gentlemen, that's it. I commit myself to the Powder River Basin.
There are both BNSF and UP operating gigantic coal unit trains on a tripple track mainline, hauling coal from the various mines: Coal Trains of the Powder River Basin

Heck. I was going to call it the Plain Bean Cowboy Route.

Hmm. . . plenty of rolling hills in Texas. They guy in the picture is wearing Texas Attire (People DID wear stuff like that where I used to live) and fits the stereotypical "Cowboy Tom" ideal.

The beans are odd. I found this; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Bean,_Texas after looking up "Beans found in Texas". Tom Bean was a railroad town, according to the article.
It's a bit too far north to be served by TRE, but could it possibly be set in the 19th century? That'd be interesting. Of course, the commuter railroads being liked are probably done so to throw us off the trail, it could be modern (I'm pretty sure UP still serves there).

DARN this is puzzling

[mdurdan]

You know what, I thought Texas too, Maybe they just mean Texas in general. What modern commuters run through Texas?

Trinity Railways Express does, which is not one of the pages that RSC liked, but they DID like Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART).

It only serves the DFW area, though. So it can't go as far as Tom Bean.

[mdurdan]

Yes but they don't have the F40PH units though so their would be no reason for them to make it....right?

[b737lvr]

the F40PH has nothing to do with the route in production, just saying.

[mdurdan]

Hmm, you sure? If so, it can be anything
