Nice work! I especially like the subdued tone of the white script and logos; very realistic.

Switch this over to PM .. sounds like you got an issue does it say What Assets Are Missing? I put a loco in Suffern that I havent' used before - the es44ac out of the US Assets pack. Is that your issue?

After all this route work and and work on the U34CH I can finally get to something I enjoy.
Please allow me to shout out QcRail who made the box car that might not have made Milwaukee famous but has won a place in my heart.

Great shots Minerman! Nice to see you're taking time to enjoy the fruits (hops) of your labor with QcRail's tasty beer cars.

Although it may be unrelated to Bartman7's comments, it reminded me of a discussion from the older Bergen thread (now locked), that might be helpful to folks who have recently subscribed to this wonderful route. It's when I asked about the proper procedure for applying route updates. I've kept this Minerman quote in my tips-collection ever since:
-------------------------------

Minerman:

"I would recommend the following procedure to ensure you have a clean update. From my experience, I have to reload the route (on my test machine) roughly once every 3 updates.

The Official Minerman Recommendation:
You may encounter the route crashing immediately after an update. This is due to the workshop not fully synchronizing the files inside the Bergen Line. To resolve, simply delete the contents of the Route Folder and restart Train Simulator or even better, restart you computer. When you logon to steam again, a new copy of the route will download.

This is the path to the route folder for the New York Division - Bergen Line:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\railworks\Content\Routes\19b667f7-2759-49e0-93d8-4dadc470bceb

I happen to like this method better, because I physically delete all the files inside the folder myself.
Doing this every time there is an update is a good idea."

----------------------------------

Cheers!

Edit: Ooops! I just noticed a few posts up, that you mentioned to "follow documented procedure", which makes my post a bit redundant; but I suppose it doesn't hurt to say it again

[minerman146]

Thank you Rudi, it can never hurt to reload the route, cleanly, by deleting it.

About enjoying the fruits of my labor. The drive and posting took about 1.5 hours. I could have been working on the route, but sometimes, I have to just stop, enjoy, and show some appreciation for the work of so many of you (and just like you Rudi) that adds to the life and character of this project. I keep putting Michael's work up too. And soon Mainline's stuff. Geez and Buzz's as soon as the dopey Pensy antennas get fixed.

Everyone, have a Pabst on me!

Carry on!

Packaging up multiple cars from multiple sources is a little more changeling than I expected so I had to take a little break as well.
