Bundled File - minor error

[landnrailroader]

Eric,

In the comments about the RMD-EAST in bundled routes, you mention that the NP Butte Shortline goes through Pipestone Pass. Not so. The Milwaukee Road goes through Pipestone pass while the NP goes through Homestake Pass. Minor but I got to nit pick when I can. Didn't know where else to put this, so just delete it after you read it.

OK, that came from the original description of the first file on RMD-E. I'll update it.

It's updated based on what I thought you suggested.... NP via Homestake Pass to Butte. Let me know if that's still incorrect.

Yes, that is correct. In many ways, a ride over Homestake on the North Coast Ltd. is more spectacular than riding the Olympian Hiawatha over Pipestone Pass but from my point of view of laying out the track etc., the most spectacular and interesting run is the Olympian Hiawatha over St. Paul Pass on either the RMD-4 or RMD-West. Basically the railroad ascended more or less east up a box canyon to the point where the last reasonable horseshoe, mostly in a tunnel, could be built, and then it ascended the other side through a number of tunnels. Today, you can ride a bicycle over the line from East Portal to almost Avery, ID. It is called "The Trail of the Hiawatha".
