Having a geology background, I have been much more concerned about having a coherent geological history of the layout, evidenced by rocks seen in outcroppings, than I have about the railroad. You can't just have a light-colored rock here at one angle and a dark one over there at another angle. Are these part of a transgressive sequence from the mesozoic? Limestones to shales to sandstones? How about faults? How about a really big fault that exposes some uplifted metamorphics? Ahh! It's too much! I hate to admit it, but getting the geology right has become a hurdle to my scenery work!
