Is it me or does the track look very similar to the B&LE track?

Probably right... Did G-TraX develop the BLE? The track I’m using is from Stevens Pass.

Yes they did.

Alright, here are a few more progress shots from the CWRY! These shots showcase the last bit of scenery left on the CWRY trackage. The last shot shows the CWRY crossing over the CSX Portsmouth Sub, which is where the CWRY connection is located.

I want to say about 90% of the Commonwealth Railway is complete. I have scenery covering the whole CWRY trackage. Lots of fixes and stuff here and there, but it's so close to being finished. My next phase of the route will be to make the Norfolk District from downtown Suffolk (or farther on to Kilby but need to research a little bit first) and take it all the way to Portlock yard in Chesapeake. Also, I plan on making the CSX Portsmouth Subdivision from the CWRY connection to Kilby. The CSX intermodals that come off the CWRY go to Kilby and drop the cars off. The reason I want to add these two sections is because that will allow you to realistically run the full routes of both the NS and CSX trains that go on and off of the Commonwealth.

Downtown Suffolk (part three)

...And here is my progress on downtown Suffolk, VA on the NS Norfolk District. This was a challenge at first, but I started getting creative and managed to kit-bash some trackside buildings. I still need to add signals, work on grade crossings, and finish lots more scenery, but it's a start!

Hope y'all like my recent progress. TS2020 makes it look better, too

BTW, if anyone used to watch my YouTube videos, I did a lot of railfanning in downtown Suffolk. Y'all can look to see if anything looks familiar
