Thought I'd share some before and after photo's of dressing up older routes. This is Williamson. Pocahontas District. This was my home terminal for most of the 20 years that I worked for NS.Attached Image: wms01.jpgAttached Image: wms02.jpgAttached Image: wms03.jpgAttached Image: wms04.jpgAttached Image: wms05.jpgAttached Image: wms06.jpgAttached Image: wms07.jpgAttached Image: wms08.jpgAttached Image: wms09.jpgAttached Image: wms10.jpgAttached Image: wms11.jpgAttached Image: wms12.jpgAttached Image: wms13.jpgAttached Image: wms14.jpgAttached Image: wms15.jpgAttached Image: wms16.jpgAttached Image: wms17.jpg

I am quite sure that a few of you guys will see some of your work in these photos. I just want to take a minute to thank all of you for what you do.

Really quite impressive.

Will this be shareable?

I've heard about this route but I don't recall ever seeing it for download. Looks alright. Kenny, how about a few screenshots from Open Rails?

It is the NS Pocahontas District route by Austin Yoder (NS Horseshoe Curve & East River District Route author) in the T-S Forum Library. And it is looking great, nice work Kenny.

Thanks guys. As you all know this can be tedious work. I have learned not to go into too much detail but its really hard for me not too......

Thanks Dave. As soon as I get a chance I will post some running in OR. Wife had major surgery today, 8 1/2 hours worth so it may be a day or two....

Thanks Chris. I haven't really thought about sharing it. I don't know a lot about the legal stuff involved. Most of the items I have used either by download or taking them from other routes, I have no idea who they belong too.

If you feel brave enough to re-signal the route and use some newer/better signals, let me know.

We may give that a try in the not so distant future. Still a lot of work to do on this route. I usually start out dressing up the towns and then work my way between them.
