Hello folks...LHW here taking a break from activity writing to bring you an All New East Metro route....After building the "Clampet" Refinery in Marias Pass, I realized that it was a shame that others could not enjoy it (many asked) unless I were to zip up the entire Marias route and re-upload it!So,.. since I had been planning to upgrade the Industries on the East metro (as a second test of my Route editor skills), I figure "why do all that work just for myself"?...I brought the idea up to Rich Garber and he gave me the "thumbs up" on the idea so here is what to expect in a few months...*A Conrail based "bridge" route joining Conrail and DT&I mainlines somewhere in central Ohio (based on Rich Garbers East metro Plan)*Extended and expanded yard trackage in BC Yard*Extra Yard trackage in Titan city*A complete integrated Steel mill with brand new trackage with a Basic Oxygen furnace, twin Blast furnaces, a Coke plant, and many rolling mills*A completely upgraded and expanded BC Oil Refinery*Upgraded Lutherlex coal*An Auto Plant complete with AutoRack loading facility*Many other improved Industries*Use of backdrops to increase apparent size of cities and towns*Improved night texturing*reworked terrain to feature more bridges to take advantage of all the great new bridge objects available!!!Here are a few shots of the Steel mill...The Blast Furnaces
