Friends,
I under estimated. I thought I had 8 or so routes under construction, some with just markers, others with various amounts of track & roads. But today, I decided to create my list which will list the route file names and status as of <date>. In fact, I have 35 of them. Two of them could be finished as routes, but I created them to be able to copy them into other routes as a start, easy to do if you have not already laid track or roads in those areas. These two are the Louisville terminal area, and the Nashville terminal area. Both of those are, for example, copied into and part of, the lnmainstem route, i.e. the Main Line from Louisville to Nashville. Nashville Terminal will be part of the csxjline route, i.e. Nashville to Chattanooga, the lnsna route, i.e. Nashville to south of Birmingham, and the Henderson route, i.e. Nashville to Evansville. Louisville is also part of the lnshln line or Louisville to Cinncinnati area.
One I have almost ready to upload as "unfinished" is just called Stevenspass. What it is, is the GN from around Index, WA to Leavenworth, WA which includes the current Cascade Tunnel, the old Cascade Tunnel, and the original switchbacks which died around 1900. Those old switchbacks were somewhat visible on GE aerials. I limited this route so as not to confict with the payware Scenic Sub. route and it does not use anything from that route. The original line was complex and after 1900 or so electrified. Then in 1929, the opening of the existing tunnel eliminated miles of looping, many tunnels, snowsheds etc. that deviated to the north of the existing line and reduced the distance by several miles.
