An early-morning drive into town for this trucker, but what a view he has on that lonely highway.

During the day, the city is bright and vibrant. The elevated train has expanded to incorporate small suburbs just east of town.

Though the burbs are small, the highway junction here is one of the busiest in the area (even though the picture doesn't do it much justice).

A new commercial area is springing up just out of town in the mountains. The town's highway connection was too far to be convenient for citizens to use, so construction of a tunnel connecting the northern part of town to the southern highway began.

The connections have reduced traffic on the town's main avenue drastically, and now the town is basically a giant loop around at this time.

The junction was particularly fun to construct because I didn't want to simply lower and raise the railroad tracks. When I build, I try to maintain a somewhat "realistic" view when it comes to transit: it's easier for a car to go up and down than it is for a train. Either way, it provides fun challenges.

 

I hope you've enjoyed this entry. Please feel free to like and comment. :)

The single truck on the freeway is a great image and really shows why "After Dark" is pretty cool.
