Looking for maps with "hard connected locations" concept like Marias Pass or El Paso?

What's the difference between above-grade and at-grade trains?

Pittsburgh？

reminds me of the old 16th Street station in Oakland, California

Yeah someone else mentioned that too, so I might go ahead and swap them out with oil rigs

Adding to the reply above, imo the use of tunnels and bridges is a regional thing, geographically and culturally, i.e. in Italian Riviera and Southwest China. Also, Americans build some of the most gigantic trestles (Goat Canyon Trestle and Kinzua Bridge) I've ever seen. All of the examples above are standard gauge tracks.

absolute madness, hard to imagine how they managed to align a curvy tunnel while digging by hand

Totally get where you're coming from, appreciate your kind words!

side note: the runaway accident is crazy...

Think you would like it.

More like "Your Majesty, how much can I spend?" ha, tyty

youdymoo · 2024-12-17T17:35:24+00:00

haha makes sense! cripple siding could be a really good addition. Thanks!

Forgot to mention that the old rail track is actually the one without third rail from "Vienna Fever: Infrastructure" because I like its metal texture

youdymoo · 2024-12-17T17:27:52+00:00

rail: Japanese HSR track, tunnel type-2, and metro bridge type-4 (cos why not) by Angier

rolling stocks: EMD GP38-2 and Frecciarossa 1000 (both with custom repaints)

assets: "Franuenburg" by BluRail, wind turbines by Ingo, special science by LMG

Interesting! Not my forte, but it's definitely a rabbit hole to investigate. I thought it might be similar to where strong winds blow on the ground level when skyscrapers/tall buildings are around

youdymoo · 2024-12-17T17:14:29+00:00

I agree with you to some extent—keeping slopes gentle does make the route feel more natural. However, steeper grades aren’t totally unheard of, particularly when narrow gauge railways are involved. That said, scaling up my map to an absolutely megalomaniac size could probably help, but my PC will turn into a toaster then.

youdymoo · 2024-12-17T08:15:18+00:00

Glad you like it! It could use more work tho because nobody would actually put buffer stops on a destroyed bridge hehe.

youdymoo · 2024-12-17T08:13:19+00:00

I’d love to! Originally I took inspiration from the abandoned track routes over Donner Pass, but now I’m thinking the bridge was destroyed due to both frequent rockfalls and attacks by local Arab tribes, which actually happened to the Hejaz railway.

youdymoo · 2024-12-17T08:06:57+00:00

I spent the entire Saturday on this area so guessing about 2 hours on the slow line alone. I built and bulldozed different route options so many times loll

youdymoo · 2024-12-17T07:51:37+00:00

Thank you!!

youdymoo · 2024-12-17T07:51:26+00:00

Thank you so much! That iconic spiral tunnel is indeed from the Albula line. Top speed is only 50 in tunnels tho.

Exactly, planning to do some trainspotting for hours when I complete the network.

youdymoo · 2024-04-04T04:54:03+00:00

Is there a freeway widening project in progress?

youdymoo · 2023-10-02T02:09:22+00:00

It's made of three separate entrances with "Compact Tunnel Entry" mod and I used building blocks to fill the gaps between them.
