Couple more of how things are going:





Roughly have scenery done between Cheyenne and Dale. Laramie is roughly done as well and the most work remains on the Hermosa to Laramie west track. I broke down and used the RWA assets as well, rough asset list looks as follows:

Sherman Hill
Soldier's Summit
Horseshoe Curve
Norfolk Southern Coal District
Clear Creek
VNHRR
RWA

Wherry Lines is also used for the amazing Skies, might include that as well.


I have ended up altering trackage a bit more than I thought I would. I bought a few books and have found some decent maps online. It's still nowhere near 100% accurate, but I hope it provides a more prototypical rendition of blasting through Wyoming in 1955.

Does anyone know how to fix these parts of track?



It seems like it happens from pieces of track that use super elevation and ones that do not.

Is that a track joint in the original track, or did you lay that section of track from scratch? If its original track, or track that you laid WITH easements then the below steps should help. If you laid the track and did not use easements, then this is unfortunately the result.


In the route editor, press the space bar six times. This should highlight all non-superelevated track ribbons as blue, and all superelevated ones as yellow.

When you see which side of that track joint is not superelevated, use the select tool to highlight it, then check the 'superelevated' box in the track properties flyout that will appear. You can select a ribbon of track across the joint to make sure that all of it is highlighted.

Going to have to look out for the sales to buy the dependency routes for this beauty...

I was wondering if anyone has any information on Interstate 80, specifically in regards to overpasses. It seems like the overpasses near Buford on either side of Granite were built in the 50s or 60s but I'm not sure when. To me they look kind of out of place, but if they were there in the late 50s I don't want to get rid of them.



Likewise the overpasses outside Laramie. When were these built? I feel like the one that is down the eastbound track was actually built much sooner but the main one at the edge or Laramie yard was built later?



I appreciate any info!
