The Folkston Funnel

[trainman38]

this is going to be one of my favorite routes

[GRE3839]

i found the timetable for the Folkston Funnel if you would like me to give the link to it but i will have give it to you in a PM.
BTW the route is starting to take shape and keep up the great work and this route is going to be a blast to play when its done and my computer is on the Fritz right now so my progression on my route hit the fan and so far i have 140.00 miles of track placed down so far. but your route is a nice one and i will follow it until the route is complete. if you need any information on what trains run on the line let me know and i can give you the links to the info.
I also have 2 questions for you: how many miles of track have you placed so far? Second do you plan on having people run the route just like the prototype or are you going to let them run it like they want to?
Keep the Screenshots comin of the route progression.

I have the timetable and know the trains that run it well as I live in Jacksonville and visit Folkston on a fairly regular basis. People can run the route however they please I'm building it for me and planning to release it to the community for them to do as they please. So far only freeware assets (RCAP, RSDL, and Kuju) have been used. So far track has been played from Hague to Moncrief for approximately 40 rail miles plus Moncrief Yard which is close to 100 miles of track.

Progress will be slow for the next couple months as I finish my undergrad and begin testing and applying for postgraduate education.

Well ladies and gents work continues slowly in the background. About 1.5 million conifers planted and about 500 billion to go! Also successfully crossed the St. Mary's river and began scenery placement around Moncrief Yard.

Does anybody have a lead on some freeware bridge assets? I'm happy with the supports but don't have a bridge deck for the track or a proper width truss span for a double track.

As always I'll leave you with some screenshots:

Sorry for the long dry spell everyone, school continues to consume the majority of my life.

I've finished laying track up to Waycross but haven't started into Rice Yard yet as that's an animal that will take nearly a week all by itself. I have also finished placing scenery past the Boulogne crossover to St. Andrews road and have started on the town of Hilliard. Progress will continue on at a slow pace until I graduate at the end of the year but progress will still continue.

This is looking great! I can't wait to run some hotshot intermodals through Folkston!

hopefully I'm not being a nuisance, but has there been any update on this route whatsoever?

[Chacal]

dfcfu342's post from October 4th is clear enough.
No further announcement was posted.
So, no.

The short answer is no. The long answer is I've spent about a month writing a 10 page paper on Targeted Treatments for Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinomas and then spent a week preparing a 12 minute presentation which I delivered today and now have to write a paper for another class that's due next week and get to follow that up with an exam in Molecular Genetics. Then it's Thanksgiving and then studying for finals and then it's Christmas with the family.

And I'm working 35 hours a week on top of my 16 credit hours of class and the 10-20 hours of homework and studying per week while working on applications for pharmacy schools. Sorry fellas but progress will most likely be nil until after Christmas at the soonest as my life is rather full at the moment.
