Hi All,
I've finished adding scenery between mileposts 65 and 85 on the Yarmouth Sub, that puts me a mile away from the Yarmouth station and about three mils from the end of the route. There I have to upgrade the earlier part of the route between Annapolis Royal and the CN Bedford Sub, about 124 miles.
Dominion Atlantic Train 1 heads south along Little Brazil Lake on it's way to Yarmouth.

DAR RDC 9059 stops at the crossing of County Road 340 that serves the small hamlet of Ohio, NS (bet you thought Ohio was in the States).

Last flag stop before Yarmouth, the village of Hebron.

The Proctor Street crossing is about a mile away from the Yarmouth station and the first Texaco is the first Yarmouth customer.

Looking good! Can we get open rails to animate the Bay of Fundy tides? (kidding, of course. Although it would be pretty cool.)

I don't think so. I actually took a month to experiment trying to get the tide to work and the best I could do was to get it to go up and down but it was way to quickly and looked like dominoes falling as you approached each tile.

For those that don't know, the bay of Fundy, which is near this route and powers all it's estuaries, has the highest tides in the world. It can be very dramatic.

Rises and falls 48 feet twice in a 24 hour period.
