This model is a Southern Railway reskin of Michael Stephan’s freeware 50ft PS1 Boxcar. The 40ft-PS1 base model can be downloaded at http://www.stephan-michael.de/railsim/p ... ps150.html.
The Southern Railway was a US class 1 railroad that was based in the Southern United States. It was the product of nearly 150 predecessor lines that were combined, reorganized and recombined beginning in the 1830s, formally becoming the Southern Railway in 1894.
It merged with the Norfolk and Western Railway (N&W) in 1982, forming the Norfolk Southern Corporation. The Norfolk Southern Corporation was created in response to the creation of the CSX Corporation. The Southern Railway was renamed Norfolk Southern Railway in 1990 and continued under that name ever since. Seven years later in 1997 the railroad absorbed the Norfolk and Western Railway, ending the Norfolk and Western's existence as an independent railroad.
Special thanks goes to Michael Stephan for his excellent model and repainter’s package. 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.
