Great progress so far! Can't wait to see some Prospect Ave. (Ziegler Chemical) in Piscataway, where I was just earlier.

I'm actually currently working on that area right now...(well not at the moment) but you get it. haha

Hey all,

Still a work in progress, but just wondering if I'm in the ballpark...

Still a little Work In Progress but almost done with scenery between PRJ and Bound Brook. I would say I'm about 85% done with scenery in that area.

Hey all,

Quick text update:

Been working on the track in the Bridgewater area. Added the Finderne Ave Transfer yard (used to be the old Finderne NJT Station area) and the Bridgewater Resources Inc. (B.R.I.) transfer track. So should be able to technically do some freight scenarios on the NJT Raritan Valley Line in that neighborhood. Working on the surrounding scenery as I add the tracks. So should be posting more pics of that progress some time soon. Then the area between Port Reading Junction and Bound Brook should be complete. Then to move east and then I shall as they say "Go West young man".

This is a phenomenal route in terms of the amount of work to do and how long you've been working on it. (I wonder if my fictional route is going to be this long ).

Hey all, working on some new stuff...kind of unexpectedly (I guess ) I am working on the South Kearny Yard area. Decided to add the entire Passaic & Harsimus Line to the list of routes you can travel. This should give those who want to do local CSX and NS scenarios something to do. Also that will tie in with the National Docks at Croxton. So technically this route comprises of...

Lehigh Line (Conrail/NS) from Newark-Allentown/Bethlehem
Passaic & Harsimus Line
National Docks Secondary
Port Reading Secondary
Amboy Secondary (CP-Wood - Browns Yard)
Garden State Secondary (Old Chemical Coast Line)
NEC from Secaucus to Newark Int'l Airport
Portions of the Raritian River Line. (it's broken up around where it interacts with the Lehigh Line.
Portions of the Trenton Sub., River Sub, and other feeder lines into the main area.

*Phew*

And all of it is slowly being sceniced. I will update you as more scenery and track work arrives. (Hopefully have some progress shots in Newark soon).

Awesome work! The wait will definitely be worth it at the end of the day. The NJT RVL shouldn't be too hard to add to the route at this point as well as other surrounding NJT stations like South Amboy and the NEC to SEC.

You mean South Kearny not North Bergen

Oh and while I'm replying...I've been working on scenery around Croxton (courtesy minerman's buildings and scenery) So I hope to have continuity between the Bergen route and mine hopefully once I get the TON of buildings I need to re-create...I'll be posting more as I "reverse engineer" things.

Well, from my layman's point of view down here in Croxton IMF. Im a lookin to the North Here and I think I see some Suzy Q and some CSX … but lookin at what's in my hand that spells out Y U E N G L I N G. I should switch to coffee before I post.

I cant wait to see what you cooked up for Croxton. Flattered? Why yes I am!
