Tracks/Route from Cheyenne to Denver?

[ColoradoRailfan]

Which section are you trying to add? IIRC, all track is there at Cheyenne, but I believe there's a gap between the C&S flyover and Speer Jct. Beyond that it's mostly single track to Denver.

Yes thats the UP Greeley crossing over the BNSF Front Range.

I think this would be a fun route to run the smokebox 844 on, and do a rodeo excursion just like from the "extreme trains" show. (does anyone here watch that?)

Me, when I find it

[ColoradoRailfan]

Any updates?

[ZekTheKid]

Just happened to have a very low pile of schoolwork today,which was lucky.But on a notice,no new update.I'll try to get some work done throughout my schedule.

[ColoradoRailfan]

Has anything happened since? Im still willing to help with the route.

[ZekTheKid]

Oh I actually almost forgot about the line! Thanks for reminding me! I'll try to get back to it A.S.A.P!

If you guys look around get RCAP downloaded, SMM Digital stuff, UKTS free pack and 3D free stuff you really have most everything you need. All of that is free.

For what its worth, the south end of UP's 36th Street Yard is almost 2 miles north of the Denver central business district, which is where the tallest buildings in Denver are. At that distance you could get away with stretching or stacking some taller building assets if you just want the 'skyline' for background scenery.

Also, Jpetersjr has some very tall skyscrapers in the file library. You would likely have scale them down, or partially 'submerge' their bases to get them to a semi-accurate Denver height.

Or someone could actually create the skycrapers, but the textures dont have to be super HD. Heres a picture of Denver's Skyline from Commerce City, CO. Right where the BNSF Brush Subdivision crosses over the UP Greeley Subdivision via the Diamond, right under the I-270 Overpass.

Now there is a interesting challenge. I don't know if there is a decent refinery of any kind out there.

[emdsd90mac]

A challenge indeed. I am going to have to tackle something like this for the MRL. That and a power-plant.

[artimrj]

Looks like a refinery...

[ColoradoRailfan]

Seems pretty close enough.
