Nice. Ever since the MSTS-2 thing fell through, I have been wanting to drive this route on my computer. It would be really awesome if we could create a route with MSTS-2 quality for OR!

Two things-
1. Will there be a 'vintage' version of this route, too? I don't know about you, but I would take Pennsy K-4s over NS Dash-9s any day.
2. Has Austin considered using satellite imagery for terrain textures? The basic green-and-gray terrtex, in my opinion, does seem a little dated at this point, and aerial images would definitely benefit this route; as seen in Marias Pass V4.

But overall this looks like a great route, can't wait for it to be released!

Just an assumption on my part, but I believe Austin is pretty much an NS fan, and is interested in Horseshoe curve in the NS era.
In the last update of the PRR East Horseshoe Curve was rebuilt and they are heading to Pittsburgh!
