Powder River Basin

[Tomcat]

This is one great looking project I ve not ran this route in age , due job reasons and Farming simulator, I ll get back to playing TS At some point and your still inspiring me to do route building

Thank you.

As far as route building goes, do a small test route a little bit at a time. If you're like me you just might find it to be a relaxing way to pass the time.

Heading East through Mitchell, NE.

Trying to get an update for October ready for release. Continuing West from Scottsbluff and Mitchell I'm working on Morrill, NE. I may make it to where the UP Powder RIver sub crosses over the BNSF Valley sub a few miles West of Morrill by the end of the month. Screenshot is just East of Morrill.

October Update

If you have been keeping up to date with the PRB then you only need download and unzip the following file into a temp folder and copy over the route file to the route subfolder of your Railworks installation - respond yes if you are asked to overwrite;

If you are new to the PRB then download the following two files and install as you would any .rwp file. You do not need the update file mentioned above.

This update adds basic scenery from Henry, NE to Mitchell, NE. I've included a free roam called 'Temp - Henry to Scottsbluff EB' which has your train starting in Wyoming, 70 meters from the Nebraska state line that runs down the middle of the road in front of you. You've now got scenery on the BNSF Valley sub from MP 54 to MP 28.

Thank you for your continued work on this great project Tomcat! Love exploring your work when I am not building in the editor.

You're welcome John.


Forgot to add the readme file, so here it is a bit late;

Take a look at the last few pages - I'm toying with the idea of placing a photo of each industry with a paragraph or two on what they do. This could wind up making the read me fairly large, so a bit of feedback on whether you folks might want to see that would be appreciated.

Great eye candy….. Enjoyed the drive in the freeroam….just missed the UP eastbound. Who says Wyoming/Nebraska is just farms and fields!

[Tomcat]

Thanks Roger.

If you immediately jump in the cab and throw it in notch 8 you'll be about 1000 meters from the U.P. overpass when the Eastbound starts to cross.

Tom I think having a list of industries and what is needs done there would be beneficial for scenario makers to make more complex scenarios for this route!

Jumped a bit Westward from Henry, NE. to get a head start on Torrington, Wy. This is going to be a 2 month project. I thought Scottsbluff/Gering was the largest built up area on the route but Torrington is looking to easily surpass it.

The bridge/overpass is straight out of Google Earth!

Be thankful you don’t have to add in the Western Sugar facility on the south bank of the river in Torrington…..LOL.

That was my anchor point when starting Torrington.

LOL indeed! Funny you should mention that! Look straight down highway 85 and notice the distant storage tank (it's visible in the first screenshot as well)... it would mean adding 35 miles or so from CP Joyce... I'll think about it for a couple of months.
