Announcing BNSF Stevens Pass

[GreatNortherner]

One small question: no problems with the TS2014 upgrade on your end, guys?

None at all! Everything works well. Distant terrain has already been added to the route.

Cheers,
Michael

Those bridges in WP's Feather River Canyon for MSTS are also extremely well done and the work of Mr Grout.

Although I made most of the FRC buildings and structures, the bridges (and most infrastructure items such as signals and tunnel portals) are the work of principal FRC author Björn "Nalle" Centergran. I learned a lot of what I know in this regard by studying Nalle's techniques. As a general consideration, it also helps to study how real bridges are constructed and how they are situated with respect to the terrain.

Also, the Foss River bridge in this series of shots is Michael's, as is the similarly spectacular Gaynor Trestle which you'll be seeing soon, hopefully in the game.

So that was either a false alarm or an inconclusive alarm as there was no axle count given?

I believe according to the rules, the crew must stop the train and give all cars a visual inspection?

100.6 doesn't give out axle count when no defects are reported, but when a defect is reported then it says axle count.
And yes, the train crew must stop and inspect the train. As for the crew there track warrant got revoked and they got put in to the siding at knaskat Washington.

Yes sir. It sucks.

And I'm having fun with no signals, detectors, or anything. Gotta LOVE railroading above the Class IV. Our worst problem is no automatic crossings, though. People run right in front of us, we go into emergency and we give a 5 car train visual inspection and brake test.

Pfft. No bump, no dump. Light the dumba** up.
