Your scenery looks quite nice!

I notice a flat horizon; are you manually contouring the terrain, or importing any type of DEM / SRTM terrain?

Just a friendly suggestion. Illinois is full of weeds and grass. You need lots of weeds and grass before you're done. !!*ok*!!

I see some familiar looking assets put to good use! !!*ok*!!

Nice work, a good start.

As Buzz mentioned - lots of low lying weeds along the track and breaking up the open fields with some scattered trees and treelines.

Good luck

Take a look at some of the teasers for the Lafayette route. You'll see what he's talking about. Go get 'em! Being a Midwesterner I love that someone else is working on routes here.

I grew up in this area, and it's pretty cool to see it in RW. Keep it up!

I live along the mainline in Olympia fields, IL. (so. of Chicago). Big bottleneck recently, lots of traffic waiting to get through.
Here's why.........
