Chicago Belt Lines

Description
UPDATE 10/8/2022: Updated SW1200s with Jeri's upscaled variant. Also includes #534 in the bicentennial colors. Note, the IHB SD40-2 due to the original model being removed. A new one will be coming soon.


After months of procrasnation, and holding the pack off due to other liveries, i present the long-awaited "Chicago Belt Lines" Pack, now bringing the Belt Railway of Chicago and Indiana Harbor Belt into Rolling Line.


The Indiana Harbor Belt and Belt Railway of Chicago are the two terminal railways of Chicago's rail network, which interchange with the big 6 Class I railroads, and switching operations in Chicago and Indiana. Both railroads have there roots as far back as the 19th century, when the BRC was formed in 1886, and the IHB in 1896, and surprisingly, both companies still operate today.

This pack contains recreations of what you could expect to see on the BRC and IHB, from the SW1500s to the SD38-2 and SD40-2s, and even some SW1200s that were in operation during the 2000s. Hopefully these will be put to use if a Chicago-based layout where to be made.....

Odd fact one of those IHB Units was a Former Bicentennial Unit.

Been waiting for somebody to livery these for a long time, and you did a great job!
