Route ideas

[thecanadianrail]

this is a place to post what routes you would like to see that are NOT a WIP yet!


The one i would like to see is the Tehachapi Pass. (the one that we have is just the loop and 3 miles in either direction.)

Donner Pass!

All UP stacks that ran through the Feather River Canyon (I develop it, just by the way ) before the end of 2009, now run over Donner.
It's a scenic route with lot of action and heavy snow in the Winter months.

There are so many Route I would like to see, I'll only put a few here.
Union Pacific triple track Kerney Sub across Nebraska. It's pretty much flat and boring scenery, but the 150+ trains a day make up for it.

The Orin Line in Wyoming. UP and BNSF coal line in the Powder River Basin. 120+ trains a day. All are coal trains, which could be boring to some. But I like coal trains. It's triple tracked. But it's so busy UP and BNSF just laid 40 or so miles of new main line making it a 4 tracked main line.

As someone stated on this forum before. Montana Rail Link across Mullan or Bozeman Pass.

How about the CSX and NS lines through Cincinnati? CSX has a HUGE yard in Cincinnati and I believe NS also has one.

I would like to see that one done. The CSX family tree has a long history with Cincinnati including a very large bridge. There would be an opportunity to include some 20th century passenger traffic. Cinc had a nice large C&O station and many passengers.

Bump I'll add my name to the list for some MRL routes :)

[Csxgp38-2]

CSX from Rocky Mount to Raleigh NC. Lots of through freights and local action, I will supply any pictures needed.

Something Australian! Small goods sheds, wayside stock yards. A small diesel locomotive shunting obsolete four wheeled rollingstock, on a standard of track you'd find in a third world country. Dry creek beds, and ground level platforms, all overshadowed by a majestic outback sunset.

One of the Canadian routes. Don't mind if it is west, east, middle, or island.
