Hello all, after testing and working extensively, which guarantees nothing! lol! I am opening a beta test my Alabama Route. Let me start off by saying that this route has been two years in the making and was started well before the Ann Arbor Route. It was an experiment to learn the World editor for Railworks. Over time, I purchased most payware routes because I desired the assets for my own use in this route. Yes, the route uses an assortment of payware assets. I realize that not everyone will possess these assets, but I did not want to be selfish and not release this route for those that did possess these assets. I know that there are many routes that are started and stopped for a number of legitimate reasons. This was no exception! My MANY THANKS To Denny and Gordon for testing consistently! I could not even be close to a beta release without their assistance, especially, program wise. I will list the routes for assets that was used and list accordingly. The route is essentially a three in one package because it defines three separate lines including the NS, CSX and AGR that interchange in Mobile, AL (i.e. with NS and AGR stub ending at the Mobile Terminal. The NS line single track goes from Mobile, Al to Jackson, AL roughly 60 miles, CSX from Mobile, to Brewton, AL (55 miles), and AGR from Mobile to Calvert (15), AL. The most industrious line is NS with several steel coil and chemical plants. CSX is industrious with significant mainline running (Continuous Speed is hard to achieve leaving North of Mobile, due to the number of swingbridges which makes any timed scenarios challenging. Since this is Bayou and wooded areas , but highly scenic, there aren't any major grades, but small hills are noticeable. I will create a screenshot so those who are not familiar with this route will have an idea. Anyway, I am still a novice in Routebuilding and understanding this editor so, please bare with me. P.S. I do not create scenarios....one of my many weaknesses!!! lol

Sounds like a fun route! But are they in different parts? Or are they in one huge route?

Where the heck have you've been? I've posted several in the past month. Great route, but lots of assets from payware. Sorry to tell ya.



I've been beta-testing it along with a few others, It is so accurate of Mobile, ( I worked there many moons ago) its scary.
Top notch route.
