I think all if would require is to clone the Sherman Hill route and then add the DEM to extend the route south 100 miles to Denver.

How did I miss this thread?
Im glad someome made a post about this because that "Route from Cheyenne to Denver" I live right next to! It is called the UP Greeley Subdivision and I would love it to be made.
Here is a shot of a UP MNYNP, that was tooken by me only 15 miles North of Denver on the Greeley Sub just south of Brighton, CO.

Are you talking about the bridge at the yard at CP 511? Then no, thats the BNSF Front Range, the Greeley starts at the Wye in Speer.

But for assets, I would use Sherman Hill, Stevens Pass, Racetrack, etc, I really would want this route to be made.

For me im a realistic guy and I like to make things realistic, but if 2 or more people work on this route, (that could be me), can have their own assets added to it? Hard to explain.
Or someone can create models, (I could but im a starter), and make it freeware.

I think this would be a fun route to run the smokebox 844 on, and do a rodeo excursion just like from the "extreme trains" show. (does anyone here watch that?)
