Some construction photos:

Here we can see the mainline down for the terminal area of the layout. I also have marked out with my file where the river will be on this side of the layout.

Just a second angle of the above

Once the track and bridge were in position, it was time to try and run a train!

After test running numerous trains around the layout and becoming happy with how the major land forms are placed, it was time to start digging that river!

In the South central part of the layout we have this interchange with four different tracks intersecting with each other. This is how it turned out so far. I need to replace the center beam with a support for the viaduct piece.

the above four are all different perspectives of the three bridges that were installed on the Eastern side of the layout. The plate girders that showed up were a lil shorter than I expected, and since I already had the landforms glued in place it didn't exactly work out as planned. the two plate girders were supposed to be in the foreground with the truss being the farthest back. But this still works and I'm happy with it.
