I'd like to thank everyone who has shown support for my attempt to model this route.I've completed adding the third and fourth main tracks to the locations that required them and I'm putting the finishing touches on several of the many yards on the route.All four of the major branch lines are complete, as is part of the main to Grand Central. The era for this route is post 1991, so it will terminate at Penn Station.I'm also starting to build Penn Station, but this will be hard for me since I have not been there since 1993. I will most likely end the line at the approach to the station for now, and extend it later when I get more information on this part of the line.I'm adding major bridges now, to break up work on the yards and then signals. I hope to release it for testing next month.Here is a shot of the Livingston Avenue Bridge in Albany, NY. No trees or buildings yet, but it should give a good idea of what I'm trying to do.

Hi, and thank you so much for dropping us an update on your route!! I check this forum from time-to-time just so I can see if there any updates to your route - I live about 50 miles east of the Hudson Line in Putnam County, NY, actually right next to the Harlem line.Did you do the "Beacon Branch"? This probably isn't a major branch since it's pretty much abandoned, but back in the day after the Poughkeepsie bridge burned, PC, then Conrail used to route there freights from New Haven over the Maybrook sub, down the Beacon Branch, to the Hudson Line and up to Selkirk.I know there was one brave soul who attempted to do the Maybrook Sub but couldn't overcome the dark force know as the Route Editor.Thanks again for all you are doing and Happy Holidays!Dan Godfrey
Do you know where I could find a drool-resistant keyboard? Please bring it into Penn Station. I'm sure there are track maps and I've taken some pictures down there before, the leads, not the station of course, but I'm sure you can find some pictures of the platforms.
