I grew up in the Farmington area (Bloomfield) . I have never seen this route before on Elva's Tower. Is this a trainz route or MSTS format? I am very interested to know if it is available to the public.

Erie-Lack heritage, It's a MSTS/OR route, & it's a work in progress at the moment.


At Aztec, the crew sets out some cars (which includes 2 stock cars).





At Flora Vista, the crew picks up 5 empty tank cars.

Good looking route! And great shots. Scenery is a little different than other parts of Colorado I've been aware of.
