Well, kinda bringing this thread back for a quick update. This project was put on hold for a little while, and upon returning from camping out near Carberry, I decided to expand this project. When I say expand, I mean expand. The project is now called; "Project MB." You could probably guess what that means, right?

Oh, are you shure you think you can handle it? (please tell me it is going to be the whole thing!)

Well, all I can do is try. Hey, you think you could send over some pictures of Dauphin? That would be greatly appreciated. I need all the material I can get. I've got a site that lists the Subdivisions and defects detectors, sidings, and locations, at the correct mileposts (http://www.traingeek.ca/v.php?article=cnmanitoba,http://www.traingeek.ca/v.php?article=cpmanitoba <- Actually coincidently caught a picture of him from the PDC stop in Grosse Isle)

...i guess you didn't see the post about my new job have you? i thought it was kinda clear that since there are no gas plants in manitoba that i moved outa there lol. well i can't send any pictures untill i go back in about 3-4 months, but i will then. for now i can give you ALOT of information about the TOGO and Gladstone subdivisions. well here is 1 quick thing to know about this subdivision:

togo and gladstone are 100% dark and only operated under radio.

No, I'm doing all of it. I update the above list. I haven't even started, but I guess I could build a yard to take pictures of.

Well then, I'll have to put in some extra work there!

[thecanadianrail]

I have a few things to say, Back up Back up Back it up incase of a major disaster for you computer!

I also know you are a long way off from starting on the northern sections, but i just want to say GOOD LUCK! Your gonna need it for some areas, ex 1: Have you even dared to take a look at the mining complex in Flin Flon or Tompson? (if you backdate FlinFlon a few years you will also get an short electric railway that services the mine! well it still exists but only does work switching on the north end where the yard is)

oh and here is a list of all the large railyards/induistrys that you will encounter besidse winnipeg:(larg as in more than 4 tracks lol)

1. The Pas
2. Flin Flon
3. Tompson
4. Churchill
5. Portage La Prarrie
6. Brandon
7. Dauphin
8. Swan River

oh and i just realized that if you are making this a modern route you WILL need to go into Saskatchewan in order to get into the northern parts due to the fact that the branch going up from dauphin to swan river was taken out around 20 years ago.

Ooh please post some screenshots of what you already have so far! also if you are getting tired of working on the route just take a break and DON'T delete it and let it turn into just a memory! hmmm, wonder when you will release a beta?

[simer4]

I haven't even started yet. Just been putting down all the markers in Google Earth. Also have been working on the 16-645E3 and GEVO update.
