Not sure if anyone has posted this before...but I couldnt find anything (which is surprising!)
Found the link on GreatNortherner's site, which links to GtraX, which says its being developed by GNTX (who is that? GN.....GreatNortherner....something?):

Can't put my finger on it. I can't guess where this is location. In one of the screens i'm looking at the station signs and it looks like "satro---" lol

Michael Stephan is an expert Great Northern modeler in all sims, so his involvement makes sense.
The proposed route has huge river drawbridges, mountain passes, city scenes and outback railroading.
Looks a little ambiguous but very interesting nevertheless.

Looks like it's the BNSF Scenic Subdivison or also known as Stevens Pass.

A beautiful route!

Most likely, as the webpage is stp.htm.
So will this be a MSTS conversion or a route with completely new assets?
Michael Stephan's NH route somehow looks very MSTS-ish to me.

I hope they bring the western end further south into the industrial Seattle area than the MSTS route did. It would be nice to be able to take the "Empire Builder" all the way to the station.

seeing as one of the depots pictured says skykomish that should give a good hint to where it is.

This route has some really great things going for it. Hopefully I can throw my chips into the pile near the end too. Haven't heard from Rick in a while though.
