Wow, thanks for the compliment, good to have an engineer from the IHB onboard Man, i envy you, been looking at those long IHB transfer jobs when visiting Chicago, wanting to join the crew in the front engine. If you ever hook a HD camera on the front of one your engines, ( Gary Indiana to Proviso Yard ) hit record and let it run until its course, then cash will be transferred to you

Looks fantastic. I have traveled to many of these locations, work related.
Don't forget the single pole billboards, there everywhere.

Thanks guys, appreciate the positive feedback. I just cant wait to get out of Chicago, there is so much scenery that has to be placed everywhere. Once i get past Gary and Burns Harbor, then i will be able to lay so much more track miles much faster as the setting becomes more rural with farms and forests and so on.
