Wow! :(

This route has many great scenes, but I've never seen this one before! It's a beautiful picture! Does this scene exist in the published route, or did you do some modifications?

Anyhow, it looks superb!

Thanks, Michael.

No- I didn't modify the route, except to add the tree mod at Train-Sim.com. I might have changed the track textures, also- I don't remember. This pic was taken downtown LA- pretty much at the south end of the route. I lived there many years ago- this is what the old part of town looked like then. I love running this route because it reminds me of what it was like when I lived there a life time ago.

Nice shot Steve. The freeware Cajon Pass id a great route. Steve's shot is where the tracks parallel the LA river headed to Redondo junction.

Thanks, Steve!

I see I really need to some more exploration on this gem of a route. Seems there are still many things to discover. :huh:

Cheers!

Modernize the buildings a bit, and you're all set for modern ops! My gramps used to take me down there ALL the time, and we'd just explore the industrial parts of town for hours on end.
