      One thing to note is that the content included with the route is focused on the regular mainline traffic so you get lots of higher-horsepower stuff and not a lot of switching. The manual clarifies that an expansion pack is planned to add some of the more unusual train types and switching/local trains.

        Several of the activities in this main route product do have some switching for road freights, but switching isn't the "primary" focus of this release.​ I should've mentioned this in there, but that future expansion will also include additional scenic-ed portions of the route related to switching, shortline operations, etc. - including a portion of the McCloud Railway, and the BN branch on the west side of Klamath Falls.

            Is this the same length as the Shasta route or has it been shortened?

              This is harmless. One of the TSRE tools left a fingerprint.

                  It is the full Black Butte Subdivision from crew change to crew change - Klamath Falls to Dunsmuir.

                      It's okay, Sean, I was just having a gentle poke at the heading title....which is missing the 'a' at the end.

                      Your version will be next on my purchase list, mate. 👍

                          I popped open the map and saw how you put the McCloud Railway in there and instantly thought 'Hey, that would make a good activity!' BN would be a nice treat too, even if just a couple GP38-2s, but that's just me wanting to see more green painted stuff.

                            Route looks solid - I'll definitely be picking it up.

                            Do you guys at TS have any plans to throw in some GEs (namely the AC4400s/C44s) in an expansion pack as well?
