Routes for chessie?

[Unoriginal]

Just wondering, but are there any routes that chessie power could be ran on (or routes that could be used as stand-ins)? Outside of the old MLT sandpatch I don't know what else is out there.

I've found that the Monon and LSRC are always good stand-in's for Ohio and Michigan...

Some Routes that might work for you that I have downloaded from here.

B&O Cumberland Div E ( Cumberland, MD to Brunswick MD )

USA1A ( USA1 ver 4 - most all track that parallels the PRR Main Line was
B&O )

Allegheny

Wikipedia has a good map of the entire B&O system, and also one of the old
C&O. Might help ID other routes that are available.

Which download would "B&O Cumberland Div E" be under?

[oper190]

From my own list of download files I found it listed as bocumbr.zip. It was by Barry Hile, in 2008 from what I see.
However, it does not show up in any search. Either it wasn't here, and I can't think of any other site I might have downloaded it from, or it was removed.
Maybe someone else knows more.

Found this on an old Thread here doing an internet search for the route:
(All of Mr Hile's routes; the B&A, NS Harrisburg v2, Hamilton Valley and this one, were removed at the request of the author. Read through this thread:

Sorry. )

You might check out the Hamilton-Norfolk route and also the B&O West End route.

B&O West End: 85106

Bundle: https://www.trainsim.com/forums/file...e?bundle=85106 (the single file download won't work here because it's so huge)

Guess I’m not getting Cumberland then. Shame.

I actually haven’t tried Hamilton-Norfolk or B&O west end yet, so I’ll try giving those a shot.

i did download B&O westend route. its calleds for scailrails and scaleroads. i download that route 5 years ago

I would recommend the B&O West End (incomplete, non-signaled fyi) or the Monon. Still working on the new Sand Patch over here but that is still a long ways off.

That route was pulled some years ago by the author. That is the route I ventured into combining 2 different signal sets to facilitate replacement.

I think this post proves there is a need for more CSX/Chessie routes. I though Streamlines aka TrainSimulations was working on a new version of Sandpatch.

The Alleghany sub. is probably the one I will complete and I'll do the tracks and most roads and then put the others in the "incomplete" category. If you download Kenny Eaton's route which is a improvement over my first KD Sub. route, you will see why others are much better at "super detailing" than I. I am very familiar with all three, havinig lived in Huntington, 1980-1986 until CSX moved all of us to Florida which is nice but not my first choice of places to live. I might add that I have a complete set of track charts of various vintages and so I am including all the known branch lines on those routes including a few that no longer exist and in those cases I will indicate the last known date of operation. In the Big Sandy there are just scads of coal mines that were operational until around 1915 or so and many were quite modern, so I am including all those that I know of. On the Kanawha Sub. there are two big branches off of it, Coal River and Logan and both of those have branches of their main lines too. In the case of the New River, there is the Nicholas Fayette & Greenbriar, most of which is now gone, and there is still the branch up past Rupert to a still active loadout. Then there is a bowl of spaghetti that starts at Prince workinig up to Beckley & beyond. Part of that is also in the Virginian route that Simon Van de Laak started and did a great job on. He used painted textures instead of transfers under the track; I used transfers on the part I did, but a super detailer will have no problem deleting those, especially using TSRE where you don't have to select the green thing, just select the texture itself. I have new charts for the main lines which give distance between mileposts so those will be quite accurate. On other lines the charts do not show distance but they do show enough related items that the mileposts are fairly accurate. Meanwhile I am continuing on the 2nd version of the KD which contains a lot of NS lines, now leased to R.J.Corman.

Unfortunately that still seems to be unavailable.

Unfortunately that still seems to be unavailable.

It'll be up by tomorrow

There are 74 TrainSimulations shapes in the route after comparing it to the starter and the Green River. They're reviewing.
