Congrats, you did an excellent job on the changes. I grew up in Aurora and spent many a Saturday watching trains at the Aurora Depot: Empire Builder, North Cost Limited, California Zephyr and suburban trains. A few things you might consider. There was a small turntable at the Aurora Depot to turn commuter engines (no push/pull in the 60s.) A Railway Express bldg was adjacent to the tracks just south of the Aurora depot with a small parking lot between. Passengers used a tunnel to get to trains, the steps were at the north end of the platforms. Also my 1964 employee timetable says there is a failed equipment detector for westbound trains track 1 and 2 a milepost 12.36. It says Various trains made stops at Eola Yard, 14th street coach yard. 1 train stopped at Austin Western

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, because I can already use the older-looking stuff from the Sacramento Northern; Marias Pass was added for a few pieces or scenery, and I forgot to take i off. I think I replaced all of the MP assets, just hit F2 if there's a silly error message.

A suggestion: remove the Marias Pass dependency however you can. Otherwise you are limiting play of your DLC to people within the United States and anyone who was able to get Marias Pass before it became restricted to Americans in 2015.

Thanks for trying it. If you look at the description now, I added more info about the Aurora area. When you were talking about the CNW West Line, if you look by Eola yard, at the EJE interchange, that goes north about 10 miles or so and hits the West Line. You can check it out on my other workshop WIP, 'Chicagoland'

I checked out Eola to Naperville and Cicero to Union Station. Both enjoyable trips. I worked in the Standard Oil Building and it was fun to see it come into view, when it was still white marble. Best wishes for continued development.

I just took a peek, running the California Zephyr from Aurora. I was surprised to see the roundhouse at Eola. You have done an impressive amount of work. I'm looking forward to updates. In the 70's I was a passenger on the C&NW North Line, but I know little about the West Line, although many of my coworkers used it every day. Thanks for all the hard work.
