Thanks, for this, just checking them out now .its gradually coming together,Ive been wogking on this one depot and town for two days now, the DEM map used to create the terrain isn't that accurate as positions are out by quite a few feet in most cases , whether it be roads, railbeds or creeks, , it was quite old and none of them seem to be highly accurate , often they miss out small changes in height .Its infuriating there isn't a decent image of the spur but every little bit helps , I can just about work out where it was from a combination of my sources, it was a pretty long spur, round about 1200 ft long but I cant get the total trackage to come near the 2000+ feet that Poor maintains was there. too bad they didn't have drones then to take an aerial view. :-)
Fortunately someone has created about 20 houses from the town itself so that's handy, I imagine the freight house is the same color as the depot? if so i can reskin one i have that was from the Uintah ( and yes its on stilts !)
