Mike: Looking Good.. I was wondering how it was coming along. I have a quick question... Do You by any chance, have a CNW style Wig-Wag crossing?
Take Care, Stefan !*cheers*! !*salute*!

Will this be coming out as an update or as a replacement of the existing route?

Whichever it's worth the wait Mike, doing a great job.

I've a good memory for whatever I can remember!
If you wait for perfection you will never do anything but it doesn’t stop you wanting it.
Age doesn’t stop you, it just slows you down.
If you only learn one thing in life - learn to think how your actions and words affect others BEFORE doing or saying.

Thanks Stefan! Unfortunately the GTrax Magnetic Supply Co wigwag is the only one I know in the game. I would love to add the WRRS Harpes style wigwags to the route, as they were used extensively by CNW and even the Milwaukee Road.

It’s a new route that includes the existing route. I chose to mark the original as “Final” in 2023 so that scenarios could be made for it on Steam.

Mike: Thanks for the answer about the Wig-Wag. Having had rode that route a lot as kid, and then later in life, drove Truck for years through there, I knew how many there where all over the place. In fact, the last I heard there were still some around. I am messing around on the Northern End of the Flambeau Route, and was looking for those Harpes units. Take Care, Keep-up the good Work! Stefan !*salute*!

Stefan: Sadly the last of the wigwags in Wisconsin were taken out of service in December 2020. Those were located in Sheboygan. Fortunately, both wigwags were donated to the CNW Historical Society.

I have provided an update to the Fox Valley Corridor - North Fond du Lac to Menasha route on Steam today. The changes include a complete rebuild of the SOO Shops Yard South Classification trackage, which required me to fix Quick Drive destinations that involved those sidings. So even though the siding names should be the same as they previously were, beware that scenarios may break with this update.
