Just a little background on what's running there now and a brief history:

The line from the South up thru and on North from Frankfort is CSX. Most of the rest of it is operated by NS nowadays. The original operators were the Monon which was originally the Lake Erie & Western. I believe the line from the south passing thru the Lafayette Y is also CSX then heading out toward Chicago. The main line from West to East from Lafayette to Tipton had its' origin in the Chicago Indianapolis & Louisville which later combined with several other roads to become the Nickel Plate Road. That later got merged with the Norfolk and Western eventually hence my running around with the N&W equipment.

I guess if we were to do some more period stuff some NKP equipment might be in order. Of course that also gives us the excuse to pound up and down the route in the G-Trax Berkshire.

Finally the line going West out of Lafayette is the Kankakee Beaverville and Southern RR a short line reporting mark (KBSR).

Finishing up a few things, some floating roads and some more crossing gates and got a new berm loft to fix diamond terrain . Working on some documentation. Have maps done, but need to make install docs. Fleet is done and packed up, assets are weened done to what we only use and packed up. Have some scenarios ready, but having aproblem with the QD ones now for some reason. May have to redo them. Have a few people testing it out and looking for out of place items.

On that note then, what is the ETA until this route is released? I really hate bugging you, but can you please show this community how far this route has come along? And possibly an estimate as to when it will be released?
