SCL Modernized 40ft Boxcar
Posted: Sun Jan 03, 2016 8:49 pmThis model is a Seaboard Coast Line reskin of Michael Stephan’s freeware 40ft PS1 Boxcar. The 40ft-PS1 base model can be downloaded at http://www.stephan-michael.de/railsim/p ... 40ps1.html .
The Seaboard Coast Line emerged on July 1, 1967, following the merger of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad with the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. The combined system totaled 9,809 miles, the eighth largest in the United States at the time. The railroad had $1.2 billion in assets and revenue with a 54% market share of rail service in the Southeast, facing competition primarily from the Southern.
Prior to the creation of Amtrak on May 1, 1971, the Seaboard Coast Line provided passenger service over much of its system, including local passenger trains on some lines. Local trains ended when the Amtrak era began. Although several named SCL passenger trains survived through the Amtrak era, many were renamed or combined with other services.
Special thanks goes to Michael Stephan for his excellent model and repainter’s package. More thanks goes to XDriver for supplying the hi-quality heralds. If you have problems, post a message in the support forum at Railworks America. This package is released as freeware. You can do whatever you wish with it EXCEPT make money with its use.
