Trains:Richard's Way: Richard's Fictional Subs: The CSX Collier City Sub

Another subdivision built on the same line for Trainz Railroad Simulator 2010. This time what I call the Collier City Sub. This line runs east & west & is the origin for the northern end of the Red City Sub. The line has 4 towns on it & has a large railyard near the Red City Sub, which is just outside the city of Bessemore. The line has a lot of protection especially near the east end of the yard. This line also crosses the original main @ grade.

Speeding past by us w a nice large reefer :)

Past the Red City Sub jct. is the Bessemore Yard it has its own refueling area & yard office which is a changing point for crews. This line is also used by Amtrak with stops @ Bessemore, Collier City & another town west of Bessemore. West (south) of Bessemore the track turns into a single main & a Defect Detector just before crossing the original mainline. The interlocking diamond is known as "Maple Jct." & features 3 connection tracks for eastbounds & westbounds.

The last 2 (3) cars of the train are these funny beer can tankers now making constant noise as they make the last clashing sounds before disappearing into the night.

The light you see in the pics above is the light of an awaiting NS freighter that was waiting its turn to go west. The CSX train was doing like 50mph according to the dd down the line.
