Expect at least a year. Got to create the rest of the buildings, which as one man will take 2 months per area.

Frank,

Maybe I misses this. What year or years does the represent on the Cal-P?

You didn't miss the years represented. The area is pre-Feb 2007 and post-opening of the Amtrak Coach Yard (circa 2004)?

-Frank C.
