Railworks America

these are some of the problems that i have found with the scenery and track on the cajon pass? for example look at the siding south of summit where the split in the tracks becomes joined again. now their is doubble tracks running up the west side of the split. and where the old SP tracks come beside the main they are doubbletrack there. i did some research on the SP doubbletrack and they have been there since the ATSF days before the merger in the mid 90's. also just south of this location where the track wraps around the hill there is a bridge and a small creek running! and where the road crosses the track nearby, it is pavement with a house along the road. and at summit the old SP track doubbles again! ok now look at victoryville, look how there is all the parking and grass beside the track. ok now tell me something dosen't look right when you look at the engine shed at barstrow. the long shed is closer to the main and there are more tracks on the other side. i think that RS.com should do an update on the route if they want to keep calling it a "modern" route. in the terms of the modern diesel era. maby one of us could get it right. it would take a while but i think it would be worth it.

To be honest mate, I wouldn't hold your breathe for that to happen. RW have moved on. In reality, Cajon was really just included as a consolation to the US railfans after the demise of MSTSX or what ever it was going to be called (no idea what happened to the Cascade Games Foundry that were looking at picking it up, but that is another story). To revisit this would break everything - any users individual tweaking, all official and personal scenerios etc - it would just not be worth the pain.

I guess you just have to look at it as an interpretation not an exact copy and enjoy it for what it is. In any of the routes there have had to be allowances made within the parameters of the program
