The Siskiyou Line

During my return trip from Sacramento, I took the following Vid. It's the Klamath river canyon heading towards Willamette Pass, but I thought it would show the scenery and rock formations in that area.

Nice Mike, I wish I could get out and do something like that right now.

Thanks Mike!

How was the ride down?

The trees and a lot of the flora are a much lighter green then most of the scenery assets from Donner Pass that I have been using. They look much closer to Great Northerner's tree pack, or the ones from Stevens Pass. I'm going to play around with adding the freeware ones in to the mix, and seeing how they look.

The trackage from Vancouver, WA to Sacramento was surprisingly smooth, much better than our last trip that way. We ran hard going South, being an hour late into K Falls, but on time at Sacramento.

Due to a pedestrian deciding to kill himself by jumping in front of the Capitol Corridor train ahead of the Northbound Starlight, the train North was 2 1/2 hours late.

A pleasant trip in coach.

Its been a while since I have posted an update. For those following progress, I had stalled out so to speak with some track problems between Edgewood and Gazelle. I've recently addressed that problem, and in the next two weeks should have a continuous stretch of ~25 miles of 100% complete route in that area. I may post a video at that point. In the meantime here's a few pics of Dogmouse's fantastic S2 in action on the Siskiyou.

Where does one get this beautiful route?

Where does one get this beautiful route?

Thanks for the compliment! It will be released here on RWA when I get it to a level of completion that I'm happy with. This will likely be the southern half of the route from Medford to Black Butte. Right now that section is only about 35% complete, so it will be several months still before any kind of release. I had been splitting my time working at several points along the route, but now I am focused on the southern section.

In the area of Edgewood...
