I remember years ago, I updated the route to scalerail, but I don't know if the original creator received it or released it.
With CSXT no longer owning that line, and it being under the FGA, I don't think there is much interest is there? I've always felt like class 1's and certain fallen flags were the more concern in this hobby.
I mean, could be something I could look into regardless as a part time project..-Shawn K-

Can it be upgraded and lengthened? Sure, any route can be upgraded. All that's really needed is someone either knowledgeable or able to learn who is willing to put in the long hours necessary to pull it off. Considering that the original route is more than 20 years old though, it will probably be a little bit of a bear to extend as I'd bet almost anything that it was not built using DEM terrain, meaning to make an extension, the best overall option would be to hand form all the terrain on the new part of the line (odds are new DEM terrain and the original terrain won't mate up in a workable fashion). Also, the existing track may not be at the right latitude and longitude, which could make marking out the locations for the extended tracks tricky as well. Hard to say if the hoops to release an upgrade could be jumped through as getting ahold of anyone based on 20 year old information is not an easy task...
The bright side? Little tweaks can do a lot for a route. Swapping out the track and road textures takes all of 5 minutes and can really help a route's appearance. If you feel like getting more in-depth, send a copy of the route into a .zip file as a backup and play around with it in TSRE. It's not too hard at all to add some new scenery items to a route's folder and then go through the route adding them to the world. Once you learn the basics, it's decently easy to do. I think you could surprise yourself with what you could manage if you take a whack at it.Comment
