Tristate_Rails, Progress Report Options

[xpdingo]

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".
