Chesapeake and Ohio Piedmont Subdivision (Beta WIP)

The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway's roots start here on this rail line. Chartered in 1836, the Louisa Railroad ran from Doswell, VA to Gordonsville, VA. The RF&P operated the line untill 1850 when the Virginia Central Railroad took over operations. The railroad would later be renamed the Cheapeake and Ohio after the line reached the Ohio River. The C&O operated fast passenger trains and coal and grain on this line. In 1971, Amtrak took over passenger service and cut the Newport News leg of the James Whitcomb Riley in 1976 ending service on the Piedmont Sub (untill now). The C&O merged with CSX in 1987 and CSX took over the line running locals, coal, grain untill 2004 when the Buckingham Branch leased the line. In current times, the Buckingham Branch has locals that run from Doswell to Gordonsville or Louisa depending on the need. CSX runs westbound Coal and Grain empties. Amtrak will soon be running the Commonwealth Corridor from Newport News to Lynchburg.
This route takes place in modern times with CSX, Buckingham Branch, and soon Amtrak being the operators. Unfortunately, I was unable to get google APIs to work as I think the support ingame for them has ended so this is not to scale and it's easy to notice if you open the map ingame.
This is a WIP and currently runs from Doswell to Louisa with the expansion to Gordonsville being worked on.
I've been working on this for 6 months so support is appreciated!
Once I complete this modern version of the route, I will be doing a second version of the route taking place in 1971-74 which will mean a big difference for towns like Mineral, Bumpass, Gordonsville, etc.
If anyone has questions, let me know and I will do my best to answer them quickly.

Also: I currently use the Shortline GP9 as the Buckingham Branch. It would be amazing if someone could do a reskin of the GP40 that comes with the Mountain Sub and do the modern BB paint scheme.

Enjoy :)
