One More TXCRR Update

Lately I've been working pretty hard on the Texas Central Railroad. Here's a few progress pics with a UP four-eight-four pulling an intermodal freight.A view of UP's Stephenville Yard... (let me remind you from before, this is all fictional) With the power plant in the background...
U.S. 83 (Stephenville's Main St.) is in the foreground with a 'TPC' Gas Station along side the road. (A repaint of the default gas station.)
A view towards the tracks from a residential part of Stephenville...
The train as it departs the city...

A view of the train from Stephenville Regional Airport...
A few miles down the track the train crosses the BNSF main line... with a power plant in the background...
A few more miles and the train reaches Bitterwater, where the UP and the BNSF split up...
The train heads north on the BNSF line...
The final picture is an intersection between highway U.S. 83 and State Highway 707.
I have been working so hard, that what you see in the pictures has been improved even more!

Thanks, I've been working on this route for about six months now, Stephenville is nearing its completion. Eastland, which is north of Stephenville is complete, unfortunately its hard to take pics of it because of extremely low FPS. (Don't worry, its low because I have a 566 mhz Celeron hehe). The route is set in the present day era...Check out this pic...
This is a pic from two weeks ago, now compare it to the one with the big powerplant in it, those are in approximately the same places...Here's a few more pics...An aerial view of Stephenville Yard...
The usual Texas highway improvement project...
The western part of Eastland...
Eastland Station...
and Eastland Wye...

Looking very good, my young route building compadre.Say, where did you get that "Eastland" station sign? Is that available in the library, or did you create it yourself? Can other names be applied to the same shape?Those could come in handy for the KC&G.Andre

The Eastland sign is a custom reskin of mine. The shape is from a sign reskinning package I downloaded a long while back, its come in handy.------------------------------------------------------------I'll never let go of the railroad that inspired me to be involved with trains, the Union Pacific!
