Cool mosaique and nice work on the trees, but the grass behind them looks somehow dead, it's too regular.

I like all the pictures I would like to see more of your cities though

Skimbo: Thanks for the advice; I'll try to fix that grass issue, I think I used the wrong terrain mod.
yoda87: Thanks for the advice, I have an update of my biggest city in the works

i love the terrain and water mods.

mayorm: Thanks Though I used mayor-mode plop water not a mod

A teaser exclusive to USNW, AIN, and Simmania

very nice teaser K50! does that train have 2 levels of seating?

Mayorm: yup!

Sorry about the color in some of these pictures, I forgot to enhance a few of them. My bad.



Welcome back to Rockaway. Today, we are going to take a ride on the Rockaway Metro line C3. Rockaway Metro operates the rail lines in the city and those in the countryside and smaller towns on the outside, in the province of Hollister, known as the Provincial lines, beginning with the "P" prefix. In the city they act as express lines.

We will start at Dalorpe Park, a major station in a forest of new apartments. The train will head toward the city, crossing a freeway near its end.


Hawthorne Station, another rather popular station.


Segundo Road is near a stadium used for some college and high school matches, usually championship games in tournaments. It can also act as a fairground.


Crossing the River Theed....


Hortaleza Park Station, a station in the middle of a very important and expansive freeway interchange near the downtown. The C7 line will also join us here.


We then cross over another freeway, and, still on the viaduct, weaves through Downtown Rockaway.


Nearing the big station now.... a promotional banner for the Simlympics hosted by Insulo has been draped across a building too...


The Vera Evans International Terminal, home of plenty of city rail lines and provincial rail lines, but also serves plenty of lines proceeding well into other states, many going much farther than New Chandler City, which is seven hours away from Rockaway.


Olmstead Avenue is near a high school, hotel, and industrial district being replaced by colorful apartments (like the Pearl District in Portland).


This station serves a small mall, Corbin Square.


Logics Avenue, a major road leading into an industrial district, which the C5 will enter, leaving the track we (the C3) are on.


Union Square, a small cluster of new offices and sporting venues. The baseball stadium was recently used in the SIBF Baseball World Cup.


Ramsay Avenue crosses an under-construction freeway. The provincial line makes a stop here.


The University of Rockaway station serves one of two campuses of U of R, as well as the stadium that is home of Rockaway United FC during NCFL games (during DPL (international) games they have a different venue).


Seaview Avenue, near another freeway and the end of the line...


Finally, Holladay Station, the end of the line. On the other side of the avenue is the blue waters of the Solvanese Ocean (and a few hotels). What a nice ride.


Thanks for viewing, here is the route map if you want to see it (800x1148 jpeg. Not too big) Oh, and on the map, those blue lines are the freeways. Remember though that one was under construction and isn't on there (it comes between Ramsay and University of Rockaway).

great job, on the ride K50 I love any transit updates. I was thinking about doing something like this with my DD and now you have inspired me to look into that idea further. also the map looks great.

i like that building with the ad on it!

If you haven't seen this entry yet, for the next week or so, you will need to go to Simtropolis... unless you want to admire that beautiful bandwidth spillover thing

http://www.simtropolis.com/forum/journals/1667/entry-11523-a-transit-update-in-rockaway/

I'm still seeing your bandwith exceeded notices

You should use a different image hoster, K50......

Like what?

Mayorm: only exceeded by 235%

well as much as I love seeing your photobucket bandwith problems, I do enjoy seeing New Chandler more also 235%

Just a really small update, especially for me... I'm going to make a bigger one, one transportation based, in the near future. I'm also going to be photoediting a lot more on that entry

Few but nice pics, K50 =)

:O Nice

Again, sorry that I had to remove the pictures. Every other forum automatically resizes.

Skimbo: Thanks! I know, I think it could be one of the smallest updates I have ever done The next one will be bigger.
111222333444: Thanks! Glad you liked it!

Very nice pictures K50

Actually I would have allowed those

They're 1366 pixels wide

yes but I would have allowed them

(if you asked)

Note: this is part of the Simlympic Bid. You can view it on the Simsports website.


Largest City and Capital of USNW - With a metropolitan area fueled by abundant resources and growing commerce, New Chandler City's metro area with the provinces of Andersen and Cameron is upwards of 35 million people. However, it is well connected with other areas up and down the country.

Host of ISC session and torch relay - During the games hosted by Chihiro last year, Winchester, a city in the metropolitan area, hosted the ISC Session, while La Brea and New Chandler City hosted the final leg torch relay as it passed through, ending at a block party in International Park.

The primary CBD of New Chandler, the Central Core is a forest of skyscrapers approximately 20 minutes from the Simlympic Park.


The Imperial District was built by the Posilliponians during their control. Many of the buildings have received major facelifts, new roofs, and, obviously, new paint jobs.


Near the Simlympic park, the Lafayette District is north of the Old District and Central Core.


Nicknamed the Simlympic Freeway, New Chandler Highway 880 connects the Central Core and Hotel District to the Simlympic Park, as well as Winchester and Raintree. Shown here is it's eastern terminus with Highway 5E (at the bottom)


Just north of the Central Core and Regal District, the rapidly-expanding Hotel District provides thousands of rooms that can accommodate guests to the games.


Built in the styling of the native people, as well as some Insulonian touches, the Regal District, despite being built over in some areas, remains a cultural capital of the city.


Next up: venues.

Great city pics =)

I like the many different appeariances of thoose districts =)
