    CN/IC Chicago to Carbondale Progress

    For the past year, I've been working on the CN/IC. This is not a modification of the GMO/CN/IC route that was in the File Library, this is a brand new rout e. Screenshots are in Rantoul and Thomasboro. .

    You have a Caseys Gas station, so you're on the right track :-)

              Looking good. With stopping at Carbondale, you're missing the best part of the route- the pull up Cobden hill.

                I might go as far south as Cairo.

                          I wish you best luck to complete this nice route. There are so many IC/ICG locomotives in the file library.

                            I've been running this route in my mind since you first gave us a glimpse, looking amazing!
