I don't own the route yet, (I know I will soon), but are there any outdoor advertising structures anywhere on this route?
In Chicago, signage is everywhere. Railroads make a pretty good income leasing to outdoor advertising companies.
Especially along major highways. Hey this is the metro area, lets see it represented.

I don't drive in North Jersey much, but roadside billboards are not allowed along the majority of NJ roads. Not sure about railroads though.

Along 76 in Philly though, that is a different story.

Hamilton makeover done. Started completely over again. I ripped up the entire parking lot and adjacent warehouses and redid everything. Just have to check for trackside floaters. :)

And yes, the Station model posts are in the grass. The sacrifice for making it accurate. :)

Thanks guys! Appreciate it a lot!

So.. I decided to go ahead and covert the entire route to camber track. Changed the ballast color to boot. Wow.. What a difference, and playable too.

Longbow got Falmouth GWR out eventually, but I doubt RSC are going to prioritize checking someone's route over right now...

It's not a big deal anyway. One station down.. Moving on to Princeton Junction now.. That place needs a ****-ton of work. :)

Princeton is such a pain since the entire station is on a slope. Making progress though.
