Tonight I plugged away at finishing the last major segment in my current WIP, the Central Vermont Route (officially named the Central Vermont's Champlain Division). The southern end of our CV Mainline is located in a city known as Bloomfield, VT (no relation to the real life Bloomfield, VT). Our Bloomfield much more resembles Bellows Falls, VT; a small industrial city bordered by a winding river and steep, wooded hillsides. At the center of Bloomfield is the Central Vermont mainline and yard, including a short spur serving Green Mountain Creamery, a major customer. There was once a branch leaving the mainline here that headed south, but is recently abandoned at the route's date (1960-65).
Completing Bloomfield is the last step that stands before the "technical" work begins on the route, which includes adding ambient sound effects, labeling sidings and adding speed limits. It shouldn't be too long before the route will be available at Railworks America.
