RE: Whitefish 2

Well lets see....Still have about 28 mileposts to set between Fisher River and Rock Creek.Sidings and spurs to name, plus a little more detailing to the Champion Lumber area in Libby is needed.Sidings and spurs to name in Sandpoint. Additional to detailing to the Union Pacific, Montana Rail Link, and POVA track areas. BNSF trackage is complete though. Lake Pend Oreille bridge could use a little more work.An industry that exists on the west side of the Whitefish River Bridge needs to be investigated and modeled.I'm still looking to get Demex and see if I can add some distant mountain terrain.I've also been removing single trees and replacing them with forest objects in areas where frame rates are low.I have'nt as yet contacted Chuck Dollins so as to ascertain his thoughts about a possible release, but leave me an address in my mailbox and I'll see if I can send you a beta copy on cd at some point in the future.If you're interested, I posted some screens of the route over in the screenshot forum:http://www.train-sim.com/dcforum/DCForumID15/79.htmlhttp://www.train-sim.com/dcforum/DCForumID15/51.htmlHappy Tracks,Batt

RE: Whitefish 2

Frank,Thanks for the pic, I've also been using the Terraserver photos. Do you know what kind activity goes on at the "Gravel Pits"? Looks like a lot of buildings there along the spur, so I wondered if it was something beyond just loading gravel. Batt

RE: Whitefish 2

Don't know Ed,Hard to say, though it looks like some largish warehouses there. There's nothing about it that I could see in the Kootenai River Sub timetables either. Wish there some trainsimmer folks here from around the Flathead Valley area so as to set me straight on it.Batt

Whitefish, MT 59937 When you look at Mapquest and the yellow pages you see it hit exactley the area.Small picture of the warehouse and spur at:

RE: Whitefish 2

Kase,Thanks for the info! I really appreciate it.This also gives me ideas that make for a good short activity(s) for the route(moving empty I-beams from Whitefish Yard to switch out with loaded ones at that Idaho Timber spur).Again, many thanks. Wanna beta-test?Batt
