So I'm having trouble identifying this road...

If anyone knows what route this road belongs to it would be helpful.

Thanks!

Looks like 3DTrains. I know Chicago Racetrack also uses similar roads so it could also be from there.

New battle in scenery creation...

There's a set of tunnels from the early 1900's used by the CNJ for the old South Branch Secondary line which was abandoned in the 1970's (I believe). The tunnels go under the current NS Lehigh Line. I'm trying to figure out a way to represent them. I've got tracks laid under the main to get the base depth of the tunnels. I'm trying to figure out how to actually build the tunnels.

Here's images for reference:
https://maps.app.goo.gl/pBSyxUxFkuEFFpSf8

Some of those images are of the bridge on Mill Lane next to the tunnels, but the two tunnels (with the metal supports) are what I'm looking at. The other bridge over Mill Lane I can do pretty easily.

I can give you a list of assets I'm using for the route if needed... Any suggestions?

How about kit bashing a snow shed from someplace like Marias Pass or the like?

I feel like a broken record asking this question...

Are there any routes with any of the following signal aspects on them?

3 heads - 1 over 1 over 3 or 1 over 1 over 4
2 heads - 2 over 2

I'm using RCAP/SMM for the most part (plus some custom-made ones). (I like the view distance they offer.) I'm trying to get things as accurate as possible without having to use a lot of routes for assets. I'm trying to simplify my route building because I'm starting to lose control over what routes I need for the assets on the route.

Any suggestions?

I thought you'd never ask...

Scenery work is coming along slowly but surely as I get time to do it. Currently just finished the area around LE45.8 by the Lehigh Road grade crossing. Trying to make it not too scenery heavy where it's taxing but it's believeable to pass for the actual area (I railfan it often so I know the area very well). Here's a comparison shot...
