I don't know about 'wooded', but there are trees.  NYC #6109 rumbles around a curve at the head of a short mixed freight consist.

More trees please.

Nice trees everyone. Since we're going for exceeding 7 pages this month I don't think being a bit of a thread hog is out of the question. I thought this picture of my former scene to be more fitting.

More trees or coal/ore tipples....thanks.   Track Fiddler
