Central Jersey Freight Lines (The Lehigh Line Project)

So I'm having trouble identifying this road...

If anyone knows what route this road belongs to it would be helpful.

Thanks!

Looks like 3DTrains. I know Chicago Racetrack also uses similar roads so it could also be from there.

Its included in 3DTrains, Tehachapi route ( and probably others by 3DTrains )

New battle in scenery creation...

There's a set of tunnels from the early 1900's used by the CNJ for the old South Branch Secondary line which was abandoned in the 1970's (I believe). The tunnels go under the current NS Lehigh Line. I'm trying to figure out a way to represent them. I've got tracks laid under the main to get the base depth of the tunnels. I'm trying to figure out how to actually build the tunnels.

Here's images for reference:

Some of those images are of the bridge on Mill Lane next to the tunnels, but the two tunnels (with the metal supports) are what I'm looking at. The other bridge over Mill Lane I can do pretty easily.

I can give you a list of assets I'm using for the route if needed... Any suggestions?

How about kit bashing a snow shed from someplace like Marias Pass or the like?

I feel like a broken record asking this question...

Are there any routes with any of the following signal aspects on them?

3 heads - 1 over 1 over 3 or 1 over 1 over 4
2 heads - 2 over 2

I'm using RCAP/SMM for the most part (plus some custom-made ones). (I like the view distance they offer.) I'm trying to get things as accurate as possible without having to use a lot of routes for assets. I'm trying to simplify my route building because I'm starting to lose control over what routes I need for the assets on the route.

Any suggestions?

How’ progress in the Leigh?

How’ progress in the Leigh?

I thought you'd never ask...

Scenery work is coming along slowly but surely as I get time to do it. Currently just finished the area around LE45.8 by the Lehigh Road grade crossing. Trying to make it not too scenery heavy where it's taxing but it's believeable to pass for the actual area (I railfan it often so I know the area very well). Here's a comparison shot...

Slow and steady wins the race! Good work

Beautiful work. Your dedication shows in spades.

Hi all,

I have a question for anyone who would be willing to help...

In lieu of trying to be as accurate as I can be... I need assistance with the names of specific tracks and was wondering if there are any current or recently employed Norfolk Southern/Conrail/CSX employees who would be willing to help with track names. I am using outdated info for the following yards. I'm assuming they are in the ballpark, but some tracks have been renamed and removed. I would like assistance with the following:
Enola Yard, Harrisburg Yard, I also have Oak Island, Greenville, GCT Bayonne, and a few others that I can't think of at the moment. But that should get me going... also... if you want a pre-alpha of the route, please message me, I would be willing to share what I have (although very much without scenery for preliminary testing).

Thanks!

Ken

Hello, I know a NS guy who might be able to help. Not in the same region but maybe he can do some digging around. DM me I guess, and I’ll hit him up as well

Hi all,

Progress is continuing albeit slowly...

Just finished the detail work on Harrisburg Yard as far as speed limits, and track type. Working on finishing up the yard siding names.

For those of you who reached out - thank you... and please check your messages... I will be updating my folder regularly as I make more changes.

For the rest of the bunch, I'll be posting some more in depth stuff as time permits.
