Scott at Diesels West has created an end-to-end activity for Open Rails on 3DTrains' Feather River Route. It's a long run, with some heavy action at various passing sidings.

Here are a number of meets, along with some scenic shots:

It's been available for awhile on the DieselsWest members website. Lots of additional UP stuff available for purchase there, too.

Send email to Scott to get access to the Diesels West Members page. Needs special access. Scott asked me to test two activities for the Sherman Hill Route, they are also on the members page.

You're welcome! The route looks great in Open Rails, although there are a few glitches, primarily misaligned roads and a couple of trees that OR relocated onto the right-of-way.

Those SD70Ms look great. I didn't see them on my member site. Do you have to e-mail Scott to get them?

Look for UP Covered Hopper Train under Downloads. I don't know if there are any previous purchases required, as I have all of Scott's releases.

Long (long,long!) time since I have posted on one of your screenshot threads Tim, but I really love your opening sequence - great photos, great stock and a great route :good2:
