TrainSimulations: Sand Patch (CSX Mainline Subdivision) Development Thread

[rrdiesel87]

I'm starting a centralized thread to cover the progress of the new Sand Patch as updates have more to show as work progresses on the route.

Sand Patch Grade will cover the entirety of the ex-B&O mainline from Cumberland, MD to Connellsville, PA and is set in the 1986 to1989 timeframe when it was still known as the "Mainline" Subdivision of the newly formed CSX Transportation.

Excellent work Andrew!

Loving the terrain, and especially appreciate that you are going all the way to Connellsville instead of cutting it at Rockwood as some other renditions have.

Question how long is the route supposed to be?

Cumberland to Connellsville is about 100 miles. There will be a few branch lines and some ex-WM trackage around Cumberland included that will probably add another 20-30 miles of trackage

[RobGuru]

Will there be a Hanover Sub route?

[CSXT Q-317]

Fantastic work.
