Amtrak AEM-7 on 2-track Electric Line on Mainline Map WIP

Amtrak AEM-7 on 2-track Electric Line on Mainline Map WIP
This is part of the electrified section of the mainline. The mainline is ultimately planned to start in a big city terminus, proceed over a mountain range, through a desert, and into another terminus. For the first 80-or-so miles, the line will be electrified, and the portion of the line closer to the terminus with be 4-track, while the second stretch of electrification will be 2-track. The non-electrified section will also be 2-track. This is, of course, the 2-track electric section. The catenary on the 2-track section comes with Trainz, and is based, if I'm not mistaken, on a Romanian prototype. However, it also resembles (if remotely) the catenary Amtrak uses on the New Haven-Boston section of the Northeast Corridor, hence my choice to use it here. The Mainline project, while it is fictional, and will use a great deal more electrification that is true for America generally, it will nevertheless follow American practice. The AEM-7, which I've shown in other screenshots, is originally from "Virtual Beech Grove," but I've tweaked it quite a bit for my own purposes. When and if I find an ideal combination of new settings, I'll obviously inform them and see if they're interested.
