Arizona Divide Modernized

The Apache Railway did roster 3 C424's along with a few RS11's... all of which exist TSC.

The Apache will not go without the proper power

Anxiously waiting for this.

Apache Railway progress report...

As previously mentioned, the first 16 miles of the Apache have been added between Holbrook and the Smithfield Feed Mill. Given the mostly desert setting of this region, I may just bang out the entire railroad over the coming weeks (we're already halfway to Snowflake). For now here's a more in-depth look at this fan favorite operation.

The Northbound Holbrook Turn arrives at Smithfield with 61 various cars returning from cleaning, storage and repair. Pig feed hoppers are staged in the foreground ready for unloading.

Rollercoaster grades will keep you on your toes maintaining the speed limit.

Sometimes the intrusive thoughts win.

Sometimes they sure do! I can't tell you how excited I am to download this route when it's complete! As I said in another post, fingers crossed it's Quick Drive compatible!

Will definitely look into QD compatibility; I'm not familiar with the process, but it shouldn't be too difficult to learn.

Pentrex has a good DVD on Arizona shortlines. Includes a segment on the Apache. It's a good video. Highly recommend it.
