Hello all!
I'd like to start off by expressing my most sincere apologies for not updating you guys on the Wayout sooner. I've been real busy with work, and after dealing with the general public 8-5 each day, I lack motivation to work on the route most days.
That's why, besides providing a progress update, I'd also like to introduce a route partner to everyone. My good friend Zach Willingham
https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198081180020/ has hopped on board to co-edit with me. He's had the route in his possession for a few weeks now, and he's really gone to town, especially in the downtown areas.
This weeks update features an almost wrapped up downtown area on the north end of the route, which we are naming Darlington. Zach added in lots of stuff between SR 149 where I left off, added a couple industries, and touched up some of the areas I missed. Obviously anything in these shots is subject to change, but I'm pretty dern happy with the results of our collaboration so far!
The screenshots below mostly represent his work over the period he's had it. Also featuring in a few shots is his repaint of the SW1200, known simply as "FRANK".

Despite being in the city, there's still some dense foliage trackside.
