Just finished the eastbound intermodal with the GE 8-40C's. Nice run from Granger to Green River. Scenery is nicely done. Trackwork and wayside structures / signaling equally as nice. I like the early 90's theme. Lots of possibilities for locals and road freights given the mineral industries outside of Green River. And given the talented repainters in this community, I see a whole host of 3-bay covered hopper and trailer repaints coming our direction. Really, the only criticism from my point is the sounds, especially the horns. But again, I think that will be remedied by the community. Otherwise, this was another no regrets purchase. We've been getting some fantastic routes lately and this one does not disappoint.
I'm guessing there will be some upcoming scenario packs for this route?? Maybe include some additional content like what was done with the Feather River content packs? Dash 9's and even AC4400's would fit in that time period. Lots of different power and cars made their way on that UP transcon.
Michael / Gary... one thing for the fix it list. I noticed when I was merging on the transcon at the Granger Pocatello interchange, the 2 mainline signals on the signal bridge governing EB traffic on the double track were displaying green aspects. However, I was going to crossover MT1 and onto MT2 from the Pocatello line. Those signals on the signal bridge should have been displaying red aspects. I think the last signal link just needs to be moved beyond the interchange. Just wanted to pass it on. Thanks for a great route!
