Well, the UCCRL is planning yet another Mountain Island Expansion!

What Will Definitely Happen:

The Yellow Line will be extended from Portellian to Red Mountain. But officals are divided on where the line should continue on to Laton.

Plan 1(Orange):Continue along the coast, shortening trip time, and building the tracks on the side of a cliff, providing a scenic view. But that jacks the price up a little bit because land will have to be filled in to insure a safe and peaceful ride, as well as the supports to hold it up.

Plan 2(Yellow):Build the tracks as a spur, bypasing the town and going directly to Laton via the Elkridge Pass. The grade here isn't as steep as you would think. However, although it's cheaper, it will require more materials and would make the UCCRL Map more complicated then it needs to be.

Plan 3(Dark Orange): Build something no one has ever considered,which would go on seperated track from Farmington to Laton with no stops, something that will one day come through my RL home town city. Can any of you guess what it is?

Well, vote on the poll on page 1 on what route the tracks should go....

Starting from Portellian Station heading westbound on a rainy day, the labels explain everything:

I like the Red Mtn Station; don't think I have seen that one before.

[emperordaniel 1,281]

Looks cool! I like the pic with the bike path

Aw, I built it in Schulman, though! It is a cool station though, eh?

[RipRap 4,400]

I like it!

[Jazzmaster 716]

I like your choice of BAT for Red Mountain Station. I use that BAT all the time. It's great for serving 'heavy' rail, elevated light rail and monorail/HSR

[The Avatar 1,089]

I agree, the Red Mountain Station BAT is really cool! I also like the picture with the farmland.

[Ace3 1,209]

Great Job Nathan! The Station and Vicinity looks great!

[DavidB_ 83]

Looks good, but I'm wondering something; where did you find the train stations and skins, or did you mod them yourself?

P.S. I vote Route One for the UCCRL, I can't find the poll, but a scenic route is always nice in a CJ!

@NMUSpidey:Yep, cool station.....

@111222333444:Thanks!

@Yoshiisland:Thanks!

@MamaLuigi945:Thanks!

@100000000000:Thanks!

@DAB_City:The train skin is here(SimCity Central Account required), and the station is in my reply to Schulmanator.

Well, today will be a special update showing hown the UCCRL has looked like over the course of this CJ. Note that the boxes are stations.

[RipRap 4,400]

Why demolish when your city is growing?

Nice Region Shot!

[simlink 1,098]

Very interesting map! I too have demolished transit lines in some of my cities, largely due to 0 use. (Though, sometimes, is was due to poor planning on my part. )

[The Avatar 1,089]

Wow, I really like the region map. Good to see some new constraction of rail lines, too.

[Schulmanator 5,799]

I have found that you can get 0 use even when the transit is placed perfectly. Those little sims are very, very fussy!

Agreed, I'm getting that with my new transport routes (Simford Airport High-Speed and parts of the West Simford Tram), which you will be able to see in my city journal soon... Glad to see that the scenic coastal route has been chosen for the UCCRL!

@111222333444:Well, the population isn't growing that much....

@Sim_Link:I actually mainly demolish old lines in favor of ones that look better and more realistc.

@MamaLuigi945:Currently, the next extension project won't start for at least 2 months.

@Schulmanator:I also get annoyed by that too(Although there are some areas in the UC where 4000+ people use the train at once).

@DAB_City:Well, the coastal route was actually chosen a long time ago(And it was showcased two updates ago ).Also, i will check out your CJ.....

That's a cool building!

[DavidB_ 83]

Sweet!!!

[emperordaniel 1,281]

Awesome! When is that star-shaped building gonna be released?

[nathanthemayor 1,263]

@111222333444:Thanks!

@A2A209_:It is the City Hall(The star shaped building)

@Schulmanator:Thanks(It's still being fixed in my BAT Thread).

@DAB_City:Thanks!

@Emperordaniel:Not for a while....Probably December at the earliest.

This section of farmland in Hollister Plains is about to become a new project named Sackton Village, consisting of townhouses, shops, and office space.

Roads are laid out and ready to be paved over.

Now, the road to the west of the complex was upgraded with an additional lane and the other roads have been paved over, ready for development!

New stuff is coming soon!!

[Evillions 552]

Not to be rude, but what's the difference between the first and last picture? I checked both images and they were the same exact pictures.

Anywho, decent work.

[emperordaniel 1,281]

Looks good! Can't wait to see the new development!

[DavidB_ 83]

Looks great, but where did you get the dirt (road) texture from? I could use it!

[nathanthemayor 1,263]

@Schulmanator:Thanks!

@Envillions:That's fixed now....

@Emperordaniel:And here it is....

@DAB_City:It is under the PedMall Menu that comes with the NAM.

After five weeks, the first building rises 9 stories, which will be a office building as well as a food court and shopping.

Across the street, another office building and a nightclub rise out of the former farm fields.

After another couple of weeks of construction, ta da!
