The "Tristate_Rails" route has been under development for some time now. I have been following it's progress since 2010 when it was called the "Middletown and Unionville Railway". I have been given updates as they become available by Walter Conklin for the planning of my template.
The name "Tristate_Rails" comes from the fact it operates in the states of New York, New Jersery and Pennsylvania. On 2-17-11 it was merged with Richard Shirey's 1940 version of the "Lehigh and Hudson River Railway" which has several templates of it's own. It is now being merged with the "Lehigh Valley Railway". This is a immense project that is still in it's infant stage. I received from Walter the latest update by Doug Relyea which is a stand alone version used to create the merger with the "Lehigh Valley Railway" As the tdb is established I will be able to start the rough template but is a ways off yet. The PRR Eastern template although half done is on hold while the designers of the route upgrade the Altoona area. This is proving to be worth the wait. I have learned that the PRR will be extended to Chicago as the "PRR Western Route". This will be a new route. For now I will be working on my template for the "Surfliner-2". Pete |

Pete,
I am just glad that someone will be doing templates for the route as all the old ones will or already have, become useless for those portions of the route as there is allot of rebuilding going on all over the place, new branches and all sorts of goodies. Paul |

Paul Paul: This route will be special to me, I live in Maybrook. When I moved here in 1973 a good bit of the yard was still there. I can see what's left from my porch but mostly Yellow Freight.
