New OR PRR Passenger Activity circa 1935 For The Blue Comet Route ALL FREEWARE !

[MMSS]

Me again. I had this PRR steam activity hanging around for a while (Since February of this year). So after my doctor visit today, I cleaned it up & figured I release it for the weekend here. And it is all freeware from the D/L library here and requires one from the Elvas Tower D/L library from their Beta Section. Those are a set of Scott Brunner's USRA PRR Single Sheathed Boxcars. But if you want or have to it should be an easy swap-out of the AI & Loose consists with the editor of your choice.

It is based on a schedule run from the PRR's June 23, 1935 Phila.-Long Branch timetable for a Philly to Long Branch run on the 4th of July. Yes, I know that Atlantic Class locomotives were mostly used on these runs than K4's but with the limited steam available, the K's will do fine. On rare occasions they did do passenger runs on the "Old Road".

A few screenshots are below showing points along the run. I just have a few things to write on the "readme" and I will upload so maybe we will have in in the library for the weekend.

We start the run at Whitings, NJ on a beautiful 4th of July morning.


Crossing the Jake's Branch trestle at Crossley, NJ


Coming off the Barnegat Bay Trestle at Seaside Park, NJ


Running on the barrier island just north of Chadwick Beach, NJ. The Atlantic Ocean is to the left of the shot, Barnegat Bay is to the right.


Meeting a CNJ NY&LB train just outside Brielle, NJ


The end of the activity, your train set in Long Branch Yard's Track #3. Now go enjoy the beach !


Enjoy !

There is an PRR E6 Atlantic in the stock pack for the PRR 1910 route. I don't know how prototypical it is but OK to my eyes. There is an H8 consolidation (and a B&O Atlantic) to in the stock pack to that looks good, the rest of the stock is not much to look at. Available at http://www.ildeposito.net/

Thank you for the link. I have the 1910 PRR Route. It is one of my favorite being that you leave from the old Broad Street Station in Philadelphia instead of 30th Street or Suburban Station. I since have the route .zip file but lost the stock pack which the link here has. I lost the link to this page to so this is a treasure again.

And yes those at the Atlantic's there. A little dated but still playable. Thank you again so much for the link for this files.

The E6 in that pack is quite accurate for 1910. It has a large oil style headlight, which is what they were built with. The pilot is somewhat accurate for 1910, except that it's too wide. Otherwise, good model with nice textures.
