Install
=======

First obtain and install the route.

This scenario was designed with the "Horseshoe Curve" route obtained from the
DLC Steam Store.

Next obtain the K4 steam engine file, also available at the Steam DLC Store

This scenario uses only default installed rollingstock (except the K4,) so additional installations
should not be required.

Install:
Portage_Passage.rwp

with Package Manager. Find it via the tab on the opening page.

Running this scenario: This is a puzzle type scenario and as such
running speed is not an issue. Your job is to figure out how to
accomplish each of the tasks in and around Portage PA.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

As with any complex scenario - SAVE OFTEN. BUT save only when your
train is at rest.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES:

The K4 is not a freight engine. It was designed and primarily used
for passenger service. But this does not make this scenario unrealistic
as passenger engines were often pressed into other serice with age and
locomotive shortages. The length and weight of a freight string can
made starting on a gradient a challenge.

If you experience "jittering" due to low frame redraw rates, lower your graphics settings
on the main page.
