Not gonna reveal it quite yet but will say it is a BNSF route in the Lower 48 ;)

Hey there everyone!

Long time no see! So we have been away for a while now, and its time to give an update . While I was working on previous projects, I was employed by the commuter line Trinity Railway Express, but in late 2022 I began working for Big Orange, BNSF. While at TRE, I had plenty of time outside of work to work on projects, but while at BNSF, time to work on the simulator had vanished. I have been traveling for work, if anyone wants to know, i've been on the Creek, Madill, DFW, Choctaw (UP), Wichita Falls, Red River, Boise City, Hereford, Panhandle, Dalhart, Twin Peaks, Spanish Peaks, Pikes Peak, Pueblo, La Junta, Front Range, Angora, Valley, Canyon, Butte, Black Hills, Sand Hills and Ravenna subdivisions, so time for the sim faded away. quickly.

BUT! I have recently transferred from road to yard service, so I will have plenty of time once again to fire up projects!

So get the cat out of the hat, the project we had been working on was the Union Pacific Blue Mountains route from La Grange to Hinkle. The route was about 85% complete, but unfortunately files have been lost and it is pretty much a write off. This sucks as we had partnered with amazing Dev's to produce awesome assets, had numerous created but yeah, that route has been unintentionally cancelled.

With that being said, we have already started up a new route based in North Texas, with said Big Orange, so hoping in a couple months we'll be able to share more details!

We're looking forward to 2024 and hope to have y'all with us for the ride!

We've got something new, in the form of a NEW WORKSHOP SCENARIO!

Honoring the thousands of employees that have served Amtrak since it's inception over 50 years ago in 1971 is Amtrak unit #100, one of several P42 locomotives in Amtrak's Heritage Fleet, finished in the striking 'Midnight Blue' livery. Today, Amtrak 100 is operating eastbound on Amtrak Train 8, the Empire Builder bound for Chicago. You have just completed your stop at Glacier Park, but dispatch has stopped you to allow a heavy westbound grain service to clear. Once the signal permits, you may depart across the snow-coated plains to your next stop at Cut Bank.

This scenario is approx. 60 minutes!

You can check out our latest creation here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2820136514

Coming this weekend! Continuing our run through the heritage units included in DTG's Amtrak Anniversary Pack, you'll soon be running Amtrak #100, the Midnight Blue scheme, on the iconic Empire Builder on a eastbound run through the plains of Marias Pass!

Here we have a duo of 9043MAC's leading a westbound Intermodal on our upcoming route!

NOTE: We've seen recently on various forums questions regarding the rolling stock that will be included. This hasn't been announced yet as we are currently in the process of selecting exactly what we would like to include, and in the process of working with a very talented developer to give the rolling stock a bit of 'spice'. The route is scheduled to be sent for first rounds of testing with DTG within 2 months, so details will be released soon! That could of course change, but we'll let y'all know.
