I am hoping to have the first half of this route finished by the end of the July. What I mean by the first half is from Niles through the Canyon to Pleasanton California. Both the Scenic Railroad side and the Union Pacific side.

The other half will be from the Niles Junction Through Fremont. The second section will take some time to finish. After I finish the first half I will get someone to test the first part of the route. No need to ask to be a tester right now. I have a long ways to go before that time comes. I am just giving everyone an update on my progress.

I had to add another route to this project. Remember all of the Routes you will need are Payware Routes. This is because I plan on putting this in the Workshop.

1. Feather River Canyon
2. Pacific Surfliner
3. Sherman Hill
4. Soldiers Summit
5. Stevens Pass.

After I finish this project I may Clone it so I can add some freeware assets to it. The Niles Canyon Railway has Sophomore Signals and Wig Wag Signals.
Unfortunately none of the Payware routes that I am using have these. But there are Freeware assets out there that I can use. So I may have a Workshop Version and a Freeware version also. I will see after I finish the project first.

Just out of curiosity, what are you using for the grass/weeds in your posted screenshots? Default procedural flora or something better?

I am using Pacific Surfliner Grass. Witch is the same grass in most of the America routes. But i use it a little different than just places it from the list of assets. I use the asset block for alot of the grass. And from the base grass sets I stretch it to whatever size I need. This is why it might look a little different from just placing asset grass.

I have been working at and around the Brightside Yard for days now. I still have a lot to do around the yard. Maybe another weeks worth. A lot of detail must go in at the Yard. Here are some screen shots remember work in progress.
