other possible lines

  • Microsoft picked some great lines but personally I think they could add some new ones. Particularly UP's route over the Siarra's via Truckee etc., Either CN or CP. route over the Canadian Rockies, DRGW through colorado, the Bullet train and I would love to operate an electric over the Cascades on the NP, GN, or Milwaukee Road. How about you guys?

  • I would really like the CP/SOO line down here in Wisconsin/mineesota.
  • I'd settle for the Milwaukee Road from the Twin Cities to South Dakota for some branch line action across Minnesota. And, because we can, add in a Hiawatha or two behind those streamlined steamers pushing over 100MPH and you've got it made.

    I would also like to operate some short lines. Logging lines, like the Camas Prarie Railroad, and perhaps the Mt. Hood railroad, or the Port of Tillimook Bay Railroad. Incredibly scenic and long short lines with loads of possibilities. Maybe Montana Rail Link could be a good one, or the INP line up in eastern oregon. I think short line railroads would be a great addition.


    Take a look at the free Ohio Rails add-on. It is big (10 parts) but worth it. It has 2 competing lines which take it different routes between 2 shared yards. Has some logging on one route. There is even a barge you can operate. There are steam and diesel era options (with the auto traffic era appropriate!). The tutuorials teach you the whole line. There are quite a few activities (like 40+). F units, RS1's, some U-boats, even some GP-38s.

  • what site can I get the MM Sub at?
  • The Montgomery-Mobile sub is available, though it needs the sig files tweaked. I am slowly learning how to do that and I will release the files on of these days.

  • I forgot to mention that a 1970's SP lucin cutoff and surrounding area's route would be cool.
  • I would like to see CSX,NS,BNSF routes thru Alabama. Or a modern day Sandpatch.
    I am actualy working on downloading and buying CSX stuff to do that.

  • I wouldn't mind seeing a UP line from Cheyenne to Salt Lake City. It is flat and boring in some parts but is really scenic the rest of the way.

  • i willl like to see the milwaukee lines to before metra got those junk mp36s just with the good old f40c and f40phs
  • Running an American 4-4-0 over the Transcontinental Railroad would be interesting. Another idea- the Darjeeling-Himalaya "toy train".

    I would like to see Union Pacifc's Triple Track Main across Nebraska. I like fast running with no stops, that is why I would like it. Something that has to do with Gibbon Junction Nebraska would be nice too.


    Amen to that! I would like to do something that wasn't up or down at 2% (or more). It is also really cool to pass (or be passed) going the same direction rather than head on meets. In the Tehachapi add-on there are a couple of times were you are passed by faster trains on the fly, and a few instances of you passing other trains going the same way (usually they are stopped waiting for you). That would be mandatory on the Triple.

  • I really would like to operate an F40C or cab car over Metra's Milwaukee District North Line on the Wisconsin Southern Fox Lake Branch and on to the CP main line into Chicago's Union Station. I grew up around this line too as well as the Wisconsin Centrel.
