Colorado Central Railroad

Description
My third, and largest to date, route in Rolling Line. Won't go too far into the backstory here, as you can read it for yourself on the walls of the layout. I tried to make this one more like a "realistic" layout rather than just a small loop like my first two. It's supposed to be set in the Denver/Colorado Springs area of Colorado in the late 90s/early 2000s so most modern rolling stock will look perfectly fine.

I didn't initially have operations in mind when I started this route, but operations is kinda what this route wound up being about. For more information on operations...go check out the notes on the staging yard wall. There's a little something for everyone here:
Coal Mine
Ice Cream Factory
Lumber Yard
Logging Industry
Scrap Yard
Chemical Plant
Logistics/shipping company
Grain Elevator with team track
Sheet Metal Fabricator
Scenic Rail Tour/Passenger Excusrsion
Interchange Yard

Tried to keep the number of required mods down for this one, and you really only need 4 prop mods:
Long's Log Piles
Microcosmologist's Loading Door
PAIN TRAIN's Logging Tractor
Anyone999991's flatbed trailer
Past that, everything is shape-built around the sizes of ABStudio's rolling stock, EMDoggo's log cars, or the default in-game hoppers and tankers.

***General Notes***
The AI continuous run loops are fully signaled in both directions and with how big the staging yard is...you can run pretty long trains, or multiple short trains.

For notes on operations, as well as other information...look behind the main wall, where the staging yard is at.

As a resident of Colorado Springs i enjoy your layout A LOT, i especially enjoy the operations and the "lore" you have added to this small railroad. i was doing some operations to the logging camp and i got to thinking what if there was a sawmill around town? So i rebuilt the Lumberyard into a full scale industry. I hope we can chat soon, Thank You for making a wonderful layout!!!!
