BNSF Seligman Sub Circa 2016

Very nice screenshots. Seligman is indeed a nice route to run. My only complaint about it is the same one that I have about almost all SLI routes--the towns just look half-done and very non-prototypical. It's less noticeable on Seligman because towns are few, but Flagstaff, for example, outside of the immediate depot area, just looks totally wrong.

One other note, while it is a handsome structure, for modern day running, the depot at Seligman has been gone for years.

Hey there,

Much appreciated comment. I do have my own issues with the route in that regard. Most particularly the Williams Jct Amtrak station wasn't included. But Winslow itself seems extremely generic also. Having been to these places its easy to tell the discrepancies. With that being said, its still one of the most fun routes I've run in ORTS.

its a shame that the Seligman station house is no longer there. I noticed that when looking on Satellite views recently. I'm unsure of the exact reason of its demise.

Today's run was BNSF 4898 East, a relatively light H train with 4 motors online.

Here we are leaving Needles.


The military train on the running track was to follow us east. We were cleared for 70 while they are only good for 55.


Following the Colorado River in the sliver of California we cross.

Arrived into Winslow at twilight. Hopped off the train and told the outbound crew, "Tag, you're it!"
