Railworks America

As a side project i am currently working on making an abandoned looking railroad i'm calling the C&S (codence and southern). The back drop is coastal oregon in the 21st century and the C&S is struggling to survive. With the last remaining locomotives C&S is trying to create more revenue and rebuild. The road is currently in disarray and if something is not done soon the tracks will rot right out from under the locomotives. The inspiration on is from Gustavtime's abandoned railroad series. I am trying to make this as detailed as possible but i would like to know how much interest there is in routes like this. Here are a couple of screen shots of what has been start.

worked on the route late last night i made the bridge section look better

I have a nearby railroad who is surviving on one customer. New England Southern doesn't have tracks that bad, though.
The work you have looks pretty great!

You can download the route at http://northwestcreation.wixsite.com/nw ... ks/project i personally vouch that there aren't viruses i am the one to put it together

Little update on proggress. I also used Dogmouse's Alco s2 switcher weathered sp so you might want that

Anyone who downloaded the route on 9/1/2016 has the wrong route they can download the correct Abandoned Railroad now at http://northwestcreation.wixsite.com/nw ... ks/project

video tour of so far https://youtu.be/C25vgSQNNZo

Track plan revision and more scenery as well as a small town is started . Hope to release a beta in December, remember updates are constantly being posted on my website of the rout and the progress. And before you look at the pics the name of the route will most likely change i have not decided yet what, and also if you downloaded the route from RWA then you have the WRONG ROUTE you can download the correct one at my website http://northwestcreation.wixsite.com/nw ... ks/project

More pics

and one more

I know this is a WIP, but could I suggest adding some background scenery? Trees, mountains (Maybe), that kind of thing?

Did you download the updated route? Because that and some other things are pretty much what i'm doing

I have been working on this route a little lately and i have to say this route is awsome. This is by far the best route i have ever detailed, which is also why this route will take so long. New things i have done are, i added a sawmill for the lumber industry, i have change the track bed texture, and am now using the RECAP community asset pack. Another big thing that been done is that i think i have finally figured out what the terrain will be like. Previously i had no idea if i was going to have coastal hills or coastal plains, well after a trip back to the wonderful Oregon coast i have decided i want to do a mix. This will give me what i want from both, and i also checked out the Coos Bay link railroad. Recently under new owner ship this company has some of the most unique track in Oregon and is one of the most beautiful as well.
Anyway here's some pics

In this pic you see the left over's of a wrecked building, so far one of my favorite scenes . Because its so simple but yet it looks so good.
