McKinley branch: the Cookie Route

[goddrauG]

Here's the second river crossing, just south of the abandoned gravel spur. I really like this bridge design, for some reason. Maybe it's because you see a lot of them up here?

Engine facilities of the West Hallsbury Railroad. Used to be bigger when the MEC was around, now it's smaller.
Now, I get to go onto the Mainline portion, where the largest industry will be a wood products facilities, something along the lines of F.E Wood & Sons in East Baldwin, Maine.

Late night local in the winter.

Your last three screenshots are just beautiful!

Thanks, JM!
Oh yeah, last customer on the branch. Very active during the winter months.

Let me tell you all a story about a ski resort.

This was the hardest part of the route for me, for some reason. It took me about 30 minutes to actually find the buildings needed, then 15 to construct the mountain, place the trees and such, then another 25 minutes to place the buildings and move them around.
But hey! We're almost done.

For those of you wondering, the route is 90% done. After that, I'm gonna wait for a few of Rick KFoury's repaints so I may start scenario writing.
Then, I can focus on my next route project.

Alright, I'm back after a bit of an absence. Here is some more progress.

Berlin Forest Products, the largest industry on the Mainline. Has tracks for packaged lumber, unpackaged lumber, and woodchips.

Newham spur in Newham, New Hampshire. servicess about three small industries, and is used about three times a week.

More work at the southern end.


NEPW logistics. In real life, the St. Lawrence and Atlantic services about two of these warehouses.

Johnsburg Pond. Water is continuously fed here from Johnsburg stream, which starts near McKinley.

Outstanding Work!!!! What DLC are you using?

[goddrauG]

Thanks BK!
DLC is:
Portland Terminal (again)
HSC (again)
RWA (again)
VNHRR (Version 3 now)
If you want to see the piles of woodchips though, you might need Sherman Hill.

Darn VNHRR, I need to get that

[goddrauG]

I highly suggest getting it. Quality route, and a lot of freeware routes use it too.
