    If you spawn at Barstow Old Yard on foot and look south west you will see a hill with some radio transmitters at top, walk across the rails and you'll find a track leading up with a gate partially closed, squeeze through the opening and follow the track all the way to the top and you will be greeted with views like these. I could spend hours up watching the trains do their thing in the yard below.
    Whoever at DTG came up with this deserves some serious respect.

    NB You'll need to make some engine.ini changes - with vanilla settings its not as amazing but still worthy of a trip up there!!

    Impressive and this facility is a Hump Yard as seen in this drone video
    . What DTG can do tests Hump Yard Physics at Barstow then make the RSN RRO linked yard Hagen Vorhalle Hamburg Maschen and Wien Kledering

    Can you share your engine.ini settings?

    Thanks

    These shots where taken with the below, although I usually run US routes with viewdistancescale & foliage.LODDistanceScale at 3 & or highspeed routes I knock these back to 2. But then Im on a laptop so my GPU whilst not bad isnt sufficently powerful enough for the higher settings.
    [SystemSettings]
    r.DFDistanceScale=10
    r.ViewDistanceScale=4.0
    foliage.LODDistanceScale=4
    r.TextureStreaming=0

    Definitely one of the most beautiful routes, the clouds and ground shadows make a significant improvement. I enjoy this one a lot,
