They have started a new route that is going to be set in the 1990s. There are a couple of screenshots on their FB page.

The most recent set of screenshots features one photo from near Kemmerer, WY, and another from the top of Peru Hill, just west of Green River, WY.

The current photo on Milepost's site is also on Peru hill.

All said and done Kemmerer to Green River is extremely close to 70 track miles, which is the stated length.

It's UP's Evanston and Pocatello subs, from Green River WY to Kemmerer WY.

Beautiful Country... South edge of the Grand Tetons. Kemmerer Wyo., birth place of JC Penney. When I go back to Wisconsin from here in Oregon, I never go down to Salt Lake City. I always take Hwy 30N, from Pocatello ID, through that part of the country. Then join back up to I-84 in Little America WY. Breathtaking scenery.. Stefan

Interesting... just checked on google maps: from Green River to Granger, it´s another little piece of UP´s Overland Route.

For those that have not already guessed it our next route will be the Union Pacific line from Green River to Kemmerer, Wyoming. The route includes sections of the Overland Route and Oregon Short Line set in the 1990s. We hope to submit the first build to DTG by the end of July.

Will that Route be connected to the Sherman Hills Route?

From DTG Jamie this morning.
Coming soon from expert developer Milepost Simulations is the Union Pacific’s bustling and historic crossing of Wyoming’s Green River Basin.

Green River, Wyoming. It is an America town virtually synonymous with railroading. Situated snugly in the great land basin which bears it name, Green River has, for more than a century-and-a-half, evoked railroading – big-time Union Pacific railroading.

Soon, famed Green River – and the modern Union Pacific’s busy and scenic crossing of the Green River Basin of western Wyoming – is coming to Train Simulator Classic with the Green River – Kemmerer Route developed by Milepost Simulations.

The Green River – Kemmerer Route is set in the 1990s and extends from Green River via Peru and Granger to Moyer Junction at Kemmerer, Wyoming, a distance of 72 route miles.
The segment of the upcoming route westward from Green River to Granger was a part of Union Pacific’s original transcontinental line of 1869. From Green River, it crosses the river which bears the same name, then climbs from the river valley on a .82 percent grade to the line summit at Peru. In the 1990s, this portion of the route was the eastern end of Union Pacific’s Salt Lake City Subdivision. Thirty miles west of Green River – at Granger – the Sall Lake City Subdivision swung west-southwest toward its own namesake city and connected with Union Pacific’s Pocatello Subdivision.
From Granger, the upcoming Train Simulator Classic route will re-create the segment of the Pocatello Subdivision extending northwest 42 miles to Moyer Junction at Kemmerer, Wyoming. In history, this was the eastern end of the Oregon Shortline Railway, which came under Union Pacific control in 1898 and served as UP’s gateway to the Pacific Northwest.

The two sections of the route offer distinctive operating experiences, as the Salt Lake City Subdivision is primary double track and fast-paced (with track speeds of up to 70 mph). The Pocatello Subdivision is single track with passing siding and has curves which often limit track speed (although it too features 70-mph running).

First and foremost, Union Pacific’s crossing of the Green River Basin was (and is) a steel artery for priority and heavy tonnage. But the line has also been a major tonnage producer, with soda ash deposits east of Granger and coal mines in the area of Kemmerer proving the Union Pacific with traffic.
Coming soon, the remarkable Green River – Kemmerer Route will include four modern Union Pacific General Electric and Electro-Motive diesel types and both the husky motive power – and your skills as an engineer – will be put to the test by the route’s mix of moderate grades, heavy tonnage, and mile-a-minute running.

The Green River – Kemmerer Route for Train Simulator Classic will feature:
• Union Pacific’s rugged, scenic, and fast-paced main line across Western Wyoming from Green River via Granger to Kemmerer, 72 route miles.
• The rugged, remote scenic beauty of the majestic Green River Basin.
• Union Pacific yards, facilities, and lineside shippers at locations such as Green River, Solvay, Westvaco, Granger, and Kemmerer
• A quartet of modern Union Pacific diesel locomotives, including the General Electro Dash 8-40C and Electro-Motive SD90MAC, SD40-2, and GP38-2.
• A variety of freight equipment ranging from intermodal equipment to boxcars and covered hoppers, with many in Union Pacific and predecessor liveries.
• Seven challenging and authentic career scenarios, featuring Union Pacific freight operations of the 1990s across the length of the busy route.
Milepost Simulations’ Green River – Kemmerer Route as created by accomplished developer Milepost Simulations will put you in the cab and at the throttle to experience Western railroading across the scenic and memorable Utah Basin on one of America’s busiest and most historic railroads – and it’s coming soon to Train Simulator Classic!
