Region of Salem

[bakercity 270]

Welcome back to Region of Salem. Sorry that I have not been here lately as I was getting myself ready for my new Job working at Amazon which starts tomorrow (July 30th,2015). Today we will be visiting a new area of Ludlow District with the City of Black River. Black River straddles its namesake river of Black River and near the mouth of Black River Canyon which lies to east. The city has a population of over 20,000 sims.

Supermessi= I am glad you like the area. It turns out how it turns out and the grid is how most Midwestern cities and towns are laid out and the airport is actually a simplified build up as I did not want to fuss around with making sure that it is detailed.

Aerial view of Black River and area.

Black River Regional Forest and Historical Site. Camping is in 5 cabins for $35 a night. Black River Forest is a small wooded area and it is where the first settler of the Black River area set up home.

Transportation Corridor south of the city.

 Region of Salem / Ludlow District Intercity High Speed Rail Black River Station. A line was built heading east has been built after this picture was taken. The high speed rail is right now in its infancy and will connect Black River with Ludlow area and all the small cities, towns and villages along its route.

Black River Shopping area. Official name is Forest Shopping Center named after the Black River Forest to the north.

Two of three Black River exits on the freeway leading north out of  Ludlow which is to the south some distance. As you can see, a truck stop is situated in the middle of these two and the truck stop acts as a rest area for weary drivers.

Black River Railyard and Industrial Park #2. There are three industrial park in the city.

Downtown Black River during the day. Downtown had changed a little after this picture was taken.

Welcome back to Region of Salem. I didn't have time to make a meaningful update, but I have one ready. I am enjoying my new job at Amazon that I am tired after each work day. Reply.......... Schulmanator=  I totally agree with you about the day and night looks.

City of Ludlow, Region of Salem Transportation Map. A new highway has been built with a new interchange. The new highway is the Airport Spur and goes west then northwest of the airport. The new interchange is my first crazy spaghetti interchange built.

LOVE the night views.  I'm not sure what makes me so partial to them but partial I am!  Love the rest too but the night view is just so cool!!!

[Schulmanator 5,799]

Looks like a great place with a realistic looking airport

[Sabretooth78 808]

A simple layout, but I'm willing to bet that takeoffs and approaches to/from the west can be a little tricky with the terrain not far away.

[bakercity 270]

Sorry for have no update as work Is getting a little busy and I have been and I have been tired lately, so I will have an update ready this Thursday.

Replies..................

Hester, you can call the night views, the Hester views since you enjoy them a lot.

Schumanator, Thank you

Sabetooth78, Thanks. The takeoffs and landings can be tricky if you are not experienced pilot

Until Thursday, enjoy you visit to Region of Salem and Ludlow District.           JKB

[Hester 700]

I'll take it.  What ever Hester views show up when appropriate will be appreciated.  

[bakercity 270]

Due to unforeseen things , such as getting ready to move to an apartment, I am unable to do an update at this time. I will have an update ready by Halloween.

Hester, you will not be disappointed with any views, but the night time views are just made for you and for everyone to enjoy. I prefer day shots though.

Welcome back to region of Salem. I am back with updates and more pictures for all of you to behold. I have been working on two new areas for Region of Salem. Those areas are Bristol District and Wheatland District. Bristol already has a population while Wheatland is just in the planning stages and I am currently god mode trees in Wheatland. Next week, we will be visiting Bristol and for the new year, we will be visiting Ludlow as we are today. Before we begin, I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, and a safe Happy Holiday. All pictures today are from northeast part of City of Ludlow.

Nice farms! I like the zoomed out shots and am looking forward to seeing some zoomed in as well.

[raynev1 1,886]

Cool entry , rural areas are my favorite . I gotta say the last image I really like the best . I also like how you skipped over a few fields with the agriculture , adds to the realism . Nice job . 

[bakercity 270]

To all of my readers and cj fans. I must apologize for a lack of updates as I have been busy with work, feeling unmotivated (which is slowly fading away), and playing Train Simulator 2016 (on Steam). I played a little today and will get pictures ready by Friday. Enjoy everyone. JKB

[Hester 700]

completely understandable.  Making a living is sure a priority.  :-)

[bakercity 270]

Welcome back to Region of Salem. After working up the will to do an update, I present to you North Ludlow including my first big freeway interchange and we will be visiting just north of North Ludlow to the city of Junctionville to look at Region of Salem's largest railyard. I will be instituting a new thing to the picture text. I will be using "^" to denote which text belongs to which picture.

Replies-

Hester= Thanks my friend. Living does come first, but I try to balance life and gaming everyday.

This is Ludlow Railyard in the city of Junctionville. It is the largest railyard in Region of Salem.^

^ My first big freeway interchange known as the Big Ludlow. It is a Hybrid Windmill. I made it this way so I won't destroy any development and using the terrain as a part of the interchange.

^ Downtown North Ludlow and the westside of North Ludlow.

^ That is Little Ludlow Interchange in the top center of the picture with Ludlow Mega Mall center right.

Nice interchanges! Great work.  

[TakemeThere 5,834]

The four level Big Ludlow is pretty impressive, you made good use of the terrain in that one. Your RHW in general has improved a lot recently.
And that's the first time I seen anyone use that hump yard. It looks even better than I thought it would in game.

[Tarkus 6,933]

JKB, this is some really nice RHW work here--you've really gotten the hang of the latest features in the mod, and it's always satisfying to see them put to good use.  I'm also definitely a fan of your suburb building.  This update is great all around!

[Schulmanator 5,799]

Looking good!! Great work with this

[bakercity 270]

Warning: I am experiencing some severe RL (real life). I will be back before June with an update. Until then, enjoy. JKB

[Hester 700]

We will be looking forward to it.
