Скачать

This route represents the Modesto and Empire Traction Company, circa 2010. The prototype railroad runs between the towns of Modesto and Empire in California, USA. It has approximately five miles of main line and approximately 28 miles of sidings and spurs, and this Trainz route represents that trackage as accurately as possible.

The M&ET interchanges with the Union Pacific RR in Modesto and with the BNSF in Empire. These interchanges are represented in the route, and the tracks representing the UP and BNSF are set up with portals and signals to allow AI trains to simulate activity on those lines. Additionally, there are two medium-sized yards, one small yard, and numerous industries on the route. Those industries are listed and described in the file 'Industries Served by the M&ET,' included in the CDP for this route. Industries served by open-topped cars are equipped with Proto LARS industry tracks. All others are indicated by track marks. This route is in a busy urban light-industrial area, servicing a variety of industries, most of which are related to agriculture and/or food production. Tight curves and slow speeds predominate, and there is a little bit of street trackage as well.

For pictures, maps, and other information about the actual M&ET, visit their website at www.metrr.com.

Please note that this is a fairly detailed route that may tax some graphics cards.

My sincere thanks go out to my friend Dap, who beta-tested the route, and to all freeware content creators, without whose hard work and generosity none of this would have been possible.

Have fun!
