The Indiana & Ohio Re-Done

05 December 07:  I have recently started work on this route again.  I am re-texturing it and have changed the track to a new asset from George Fisher of USLW.  It is pretty high-poly stuff, but on a rural backwater like the I&O Brookville Sub it should be OK.  I am also exploring the possibilities afforded by the new 'vegetation' products - spline grasses and so forth.  So the I&O is no longer a lo-poly route, but it should still stutter along on most computers....

The first few were set-ups to shoot George's new track....

Golly but that track is good :)

Back to shots of the line

  An Eastbound leaves Brookville headed for valley Junction.

Three from just east of Brookville featuring a reskinned Ex-UP IORY Gp40 and lots of undergrowth and grass.  I am amazed how well the route runs with all this clutter...

And another three more from a bit farther along the line...

Are these getting repetitive?

Greenery encroaching on the right-of-way near Cedar Grove...

On the western outskirts of Cedar Grove...

At Cedar Grove a long kick-back siding trails off the loop to serve Brown Brothers Lumber and a local sand pit.  I caught a CR Gp40-2 passing through the lumber company to spot cars at the sand pit loader....

More switching at Cedar Grove,,,

Back on the main line...

Canadian National is somewhat out of place, but it was a great spot to stage some new content!

Penn Central days...
