NEW MAP | Arlington & Lewistown Shortline |

Well, I lied... this is technically "Arlington & Lewistown 2" - a revision almost 10 years in the making from the original map.
A freeware map with not too many paid dependencies created by TSC community member Admiral Leviathan.
This is a fictional line, akin to the glorious fictional Adriana County just set in the southwest - think SoCal and Arizona. A shortline serving 2 class one interchanges and a metric butt-ton of industries

Thanks for the review! I'm glad that people are enjoying this route because it brought me a lot of entertainment as I worked on it during the pandemic. I'd like to update it a few more times, but it really is a personal project and I work very very slowly so I can't promise anything. I can answer some questions; 7:30 - Correct, I'm still working on several sections like this one, both ends of the mainline and the Mexican branch 13:50 - Literally ten, V1 was 2014, the 10th anniversary will be around the 30th I believe 23:13 - It's stone quarry, none of the mines are particularly realistic and I plan to rework them, but for play purposes this one is stone 28:26 - All stations are lightly used by Amtrak. Thanks for ignoring the conspicuous blue sign hiding the Harve station text 40:05 - It's just not finished. This is gonna be its own railroad where you run your Diesel Workshop Baldwins (Like Trona) 45:42 - literally one billion hours in the track editor trying to replace the janky original track (pain), I'm still cleaning up some areas but thanks!

Its a fun and gorgeous map. Easy to see heart and soul went in to it. The community thrives w/ people like you 🤝

[@dupdrewww]

The western section reminds me of the sd&a near San Diego

[@octanejimmy]

You lied to me! Hid it in the fine print :P Thanks for the vidja. See you on the next one.

holy shit what is that SD70ACe??? it looks so good

[@LP_LP_LP_LP]

work in progress from myself

[@gevoman3959]

@@LP_LP_LP_LP cannot wait to see when this thing is finished! its been way too long since we've had a better ACe

[@railsnwails3035]

If only every single US freeware route didn't require the Hi-Line lmao (I don't have it)

[@wingswheelsandwaves]

the far western region is very closely based on the SD&AE, the tunnel would be the tecate tunnel, the chicken ranch is there in real life, and the museum setup is identical to the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum.

[@ryeistoasted8577]

hey sean! could you do a video on the g trax maine maritime switching route? it seems interesting enough but i'd like to see what i'm getting myself into before i do anything.

[@kaib.ocampo7956]

Do you have any other platforms I can contact you on, regarding installation of two packs that you have already covered? (I looked the readme and pdfs on them and they still didn’t work)

40:10 Is Based 100% off a Real location by all the tracks known as, The Trona Railway, owned by Searles Valley Minerals, operates in the Mojave Desert, California. It interchanges with the Union Pacific Railroad at Searles, California. The railway was built in 1914 to transport potash from the American Trona Company to the Southern Pacific Railroad. Jawbone is the Nickname of this line, which is set in the middle of the Desert with little to No signs of Life which in Real Life is 30.5 miles long 75% of the time it's all down grade with the steepest being 3.8% in a 7-mile stretch, riding the Sand rock mountains along the way. Potash looks like a Tan Clay Redish stone which isn't the only thing produced from this plant as many Chemicals are made there as well. Covered Hoppers and TopGons are seen as Tanker cars with-in the area.

[@cpr8959]

Whose coal cars are those. They don’t look like crapy DTG ones!

[@cpr8959]

is the road runner no CalTrain?

NOT**

[@wingswheelsandwaves]

where did those dash 7s come from?

[@fireandice693]

A few years ago there was a developer known as 'virtual rail creations'. They made a few dash 7's including the ones shown here. unfortunately, vrc anounced they'd be closing their website, this meant most of their products would no longer be publicly available. However, 3 are on steam These being the csx c30-7, the chessie system c30-7 and the norfolk southern c39-8.

[@wingswheelsandwaves]

@@fireandice693 crap, I was hoping it wasn't the VRC ones. Thanks for the info!
