Here are some shots taken at Panaska, the CVP's main interchange point with the Canadian Pacific.

Very nice pictures and a beautiful atmosphere you are getting in you route

Here we are along the Canadian Pacific mainline just west of Panaska in the Yale Canyon (fictional). The CVP meets the CPR at Yale Junction just west of here. But with no room in the narrow canyon for interchange facilities, the CVP has running rights to Panaska where they exchange freight and passengers with the CPR.

You owe me a new keyboard, I've gone and got on this one...

I LOVE the the dirt road with just the single car - just screams atmosphere, and the raised Fraser Hotel

Thanks for sharing and making us (me at least) green )

[BoostedFridge]

Great work! I absolutely love the ground textures.

[qrfan3]

Absolutely beautiful and detailed to perfection.....

I have finished detailing around Yale. Its here that the CVP joins the Canadian Pacific mainline via twin trestles reminiscent of the famous Keddie Wye.

Entrance to the CPR main is controlled by a telegraph office on the south leg of the wye. All our trains run extra on the CPR and must stop here for clearance through to Panaska.

Looking West, a CVP mixed freight joins the CPR main.

A pair of 2-8-2's lead a CPR passenger train westbound along Yale Creek.

These expensive trestles where built during the first world war to bring much needed copper ore out of the boundary region of BC.

Some of the most convincing mountain scenes I've ever seen. Great work!

OMFG THAT TRACK (And Everything!) LOOKS GORGEOUS! Is that a Custom Track, or is it G-Trax?


Sir, This actually looks like the Mountainous Area of Washington near New Halem and Concrete! I am pleased to tell you that you actually have made the feel of Mountainous Washington State Come alive in the sim!

[wacampbell]

Thanks. The track is custom for the route - representing a light 100lb rail with a broader tie spacing than modern track.
