Route: Milwaukee Coast Division (with the modified track textures to overcome 'funnies' in OR).
Train: Mainly Tim Muir
Climbing up to Boylston with an Eastbound......

Exiting the tunnel and starting down the grade......

Gingerly down with lots of regeneration!

Shortly after this I inadvertently activated the emergency brake (on my keyboard it is adjacent to the 'printscreen' key) and there appears no way to release it (OR latest release version).
I am liking this route a great deal.

Great shots.
I finally got a chance to download this route and take it for a spin.
This is definitely going to be a keeper.
Speaking of "track funnies" I was able to get the other CMSP&P routes fixed but for the life of me I can't remember what I did.
I think I must have slept since then. Maybe it was all the beer I didn't drink. Could also be all the drugs I didn't do back in the 70s.
Can you share what you did?
Old age is catching up with me.
Thanks
Steve

Wow! I have to download this route some day! The Columbia River Bridge looks awesome. Your thanks are very welcome, Malte. I'm always happy to see the old GE's being used, especially now with the opening of the Coast Division (again :) ).

I finally got this route installed (thanks Rob!) and have been enjoying the small bits I've explored so far.
Stretching the E34's legs starting from Cle Elum in MSTS.
The portal inscription of "C M & P S" is neat, for Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound, a short-lived moniker for the fledgling Coast Division, or Western Extension, before it became Chicago, Milwaukee, St.Paul & Pacific.
Well done, Simon and Jerry. I've waited for the Coast Division since forever. :sign_thanks:
