Finally! A Texas-based railroad! The Texas Central Rail Road! Three miles of track have been completed and after 4 other unsuccessful attempts I have finally started a successful no-error route! It is purely fictional but based on the west-central Texas area around where I live... Think of it as a "Full Bucket Line" but for Texas and with different scenery. Most of the towns in this route will have names taken from real Texas towns in the area..Here's some screens with a BNSF B40-8W and a SPSF SW-1500 switcher...An old-model BNSF Dash 8 departing Eastland, Texas (not modeled after the real Eastland)...
The same Dash 8 crossing the Eastland Creek bridge...
The same train again passing a radio tower and a ranch house a mile outside Eastland along U.S. 84...
BNSF 8608 crossing a small creek five minutes after departing Eastland...
The year is 1984, and here's SP(SF) 2539 passing an old SP(SF) GP9 that's been laid to rest temporarily in Eastland's only siding...
The same train passing the H-E-B grocery store in Eastland...
Here's Eastland on the other side of Eastland Creek...

As you can see, it's got that high angle point-of-view problem.I know it's been touched on before, but I'm not sure how to fix this problem... could anyone teach me the process?------------------------------------------------------------I'll never let go of the railroad that inspired me to be involved with trains, the Union Pacific!
