Stevens Pass out now.

[Chacal]

This.
I just can't keep up and neither can my wallet.
On the other hand, I don't HAVE to get all routes... so I decided I will play the ones I have thoroughly (meaning getting a green check mark for every scenario) before getting new ones. At the rate I'm going, it will take me years. European routes are on the very distant horizon.

I still have to travel the full length of Marias and Donner! Too much time building and not enough driving!

I second that. Just decided to take a little time off to do some train driving. I have run Marias from one end to the other, Starting on Stevens Pass and got lost in Everett.

The Empire Builder will have a short delay until we get pointed East.

Bridges, mountains, apple orchards, bridges, aircraft carrier, lots of industrial switching, bridges, waterfall, complete perfection, did I mention bridges? I just cant heap enough praise on this magnificent route.

Don't forget the destroyers...

It is definitely looking like #1 to buy out of the new batch, probably followed by Surfliner. Plus I do have a "thing" about long tunnels...

The route starts in Everett which is on the Puget Sound.

Well actually it starts in Mukeilto, Everett is next. I love the scenery along the sound!

[evafan002]

ahh i see that makes sense so the carrier would be going through puget sound on its way out to sea then?

[Rbsanford]

Right, you see the navy ships moored in Everett. There's also a container ship and a few ferries.

I didn't think anyone who wasn't a local would have any idea where in the heck Mukeilto was and most people have heard of Everett because of Boeing.

Starting on Stevens Pass and got lost in Everett.

I did that, too!

[Toripony]

Think:

Everett = Seattle (gorgeously hilly and wet, Boeing, nuclear submarines and whales)

Cascades = a smaller Rockies (just as challenging, though)

Wenatchee = Palm Springs with fruit orchards instead of golf courses (irrigated desert valley)

Next up: Stampede pass then after that should be the fallbridge subdivision from Vancouver to Pasco.

Stampede Subdivision:

Auburn to Yakima (which is the real milepost "0.0")

Fallbridge:

Vancouver Wa to Pasco.
