Penn Central Route

Ok thanks for the feedback.

Well for some reason my CalTrain assets broke, which is what the tunnel loft originates.
So with some improvisation I used the NEC tunnels instead and created a freight tunnel with an (electric-powered) passenger bypass.
The passenger bypass then goes above the freight tracks on a viaduct over the EL diamond.

Don't forget to make the track rough and bumpy. LOL

LOL Yep, I'm making an average of 70% bumpiness.

So around mid-July I stopped working on the original route due to the assets breaking , therefore, I am taking the amazing NERW PA-Div route and turning it into a Penn Central-era branchline, rather than a full scale main line.

Not the best route in the world but you can definitely tell he put some effort into it. Remember everything north of Croton Harmon was the artery for the 20th century limited, various commuters, and various freights into and out of the NYC metro area that didn't need to go down the river sub on the west bank which he also modeled parts of.

What would you suggest to make it "The best route in the world"?

Now pardon my stupidity as I am not a route builder nor do I claim to be, but I personally feel the foliage is a bit bland for lack of a better word.

I'm not saying it's a terrible route by any means. I run it quite a bit when I'm not playing workshop scenarios on other routes.

Sorry for not updating, but as of late I've decided to cancel this project and put all my route focus in the New Northeast Corridor.
