Good afternoon, hope y'all have a good Thanksgiving holiday.

As the title hints, another Chicago route will be starting. I'll be working on this route in addition to the other route (so I'll be switching back and forth).

Here is a pic of the project freshly imported into Trainz a few days ago before I took some time off to spend some family time. Stay tune to this post for additional updates.

Cheers

I have a feeling this is going to be really cool!

I also have that feeling as well!

Its been a long time since I've last posted an update.
This was mainly due to being busy with real life things so Trainz was the least of my worries but today I'm happy to share an update.

Since this route will use the same station setup that my Harvard Sub uses (link to webpage here - https://www.hiawathamr.com/payware/larg ... r-edition/ ), I figured why remake it when I can simply copy it? There have been some issues that will require replacing all of the trackside objects but at the end, I think it'll be worth it. And here is the line that will eventually be attached to downtown Chicago That's all - cheers

Finally some time to work in Trainz.

Some trackwork and roadwork has been completed along with the terrain a bit. The west end will have a staging yard and a portal for those that wants to setup a few freight trains to run.

Cheers

Today is just showing some trackside pics from the route. The grass textures are finally what I've been working on to achieve on. It wasn't easy as I also want the route to be seasonal.

This might be the last update for a while as I'll be switching back to my original route to work on that for a bit but don't worry - I'll be returning back to this route again
Cheers

Love the screenshots. It looks like the route is coming along very nicely.

Thank you for the kind words @cabnz1 !

Cheers

Another area completed. This seems to run through a forest section so no trackside pics. cheers

Foliage has been updated with the similar foliage assets used in my other route.
cheers
