Ontario Routes for MSTS/ORTS

[ChandlerBranchRailfan]

Hi y'all.
I'd like to ask, is there a route set in the location that passes through Belleville and Napanee?

I looked but I can't seem to find one.

Paul Charland is in Brockville, if anybody would know it would be Paul.

There is no route of that area you are looking for, the only ones for CN are Bala, GTA, Dundas, Toronto West and North and the Go in the Toronto area. Tim

*Someone* from a route building payware outfit posted this little screenie of a work in progress back in 2019.

TrainSimulations?

Someone told me years ago there was a(nother) Canadian route in the works. If geepster's screenshot is anything to go by hopefully it sees the light of day at some point. That looks great.

I haven't seen a route with the Kingston Sub other then the little bit I included with the TIR routes. I have a very incomplete route from Maitland yo Kinston but not to Belleville. The route would be a runner, very little switching. Back in the 1980s only 317 and 318 would be doing switching and that would mostly be just dropping cars of in Brockville, Kingston, and Belleville.

What about Napanee and you do realize that Avril Lavigne was born in Belleville but raised in Napanee?

[charland]

Yes, I was aware about Avril! Napanee is about halfway between Kingston and Belleville. When VIA was still running the Turbo Trains they would meet near Napenee.

She was born two years too late. However she would have seen plenty of MLW/ALCO and early GE Dash 8s and Dash 9s as well as the EMD Cowls and the EMD SD40-2 and GP38-2 Widecabs and the standard cab ones as well. If we count passenger, then VIA F40PHs and F Units.

Also the Bay of Quinte Railway (most of which was abandoned) had a small section become a branchline to the goodyear plant although it was abandoned too and the abandoned tracks were disconnected in 2010 and removed a little later.
