The freeware G-TraX Husky stacks and the ones in Stevens Pass are similar but not identical. For example, the StP stacks have EOTDs, the reporting marks are GNTX and BNSF (vs. DTTX and CRLE), and the container company names are fictionalized (per RSC policy). In other words, they're not interchangeable. If you don't have the route, you don't have the upgraded version.

The paths are:
Assets\G-TraX\Trains\RailVehicles\Freight\DoubleStack
Assets\GNTX\StevensPass\RailVehicles\Freight\DoubleStack

Hope that helps.

Yeah, I noticed that when I loaded up the route today. Stunning work, I may add.

I finally had some time to explore Stevens Pass last night. What a beautiful route! I've started with the intro tours and the details of the scenery are amazing. **!!bow!!**
One of my personal favorite features: Crossing gates that look and function in a prototypical way! !*YAAA*!
I'm a self proclaimed crossing gate nut, and the RSC models are..... let's just be polite and say, they need some tweaking. *!rolleyes!*
The Stevens Pass crossing gates look and function great!!! *!!thnx!!*
I'm eager to explore more, as I've only done the first tour. Awesome job on this route! !!*ok*!!

Just finished running through all of the career mode scenarios for this. Only issue I ran into was Winter Hill Climb East maxes out at 800 points and a silver star. Otherwise, a very nice variety of tasks and non-ridiculous timetables that are both enjoyable and keeps you honest and paying attention.

The route itself is gorgeous as has been stated before with a nice variety of terrain, tracks, and grades.

Stevens Pass is probably the best RW add-on I have.

I used to live in Seattle 11 years ago. I was fishing in Skykomish river near railroad bridge (and almost drowned once in rapids). I was hiking in Cascade mountains near Scenic, listening loud EMD 16-645 growl cutting through the forest from the train slowly climbing uphill. I drove my car along HWY 2, waving hand to engineer of orange Dash 9 passed by. I chased Empire Builder along Highway 2 to make a photo shoot on Index bridge, but got late and missed it.

I have so many good memories about this route, as part of my Seattle experience, that's why it have special value for me. So I dreamed about this route quite a long time. I had two versions of it in MSTS, unfortunately both was incorrect in many places. I had a high hopes for MSTS 2.0 from Microsoft , when they announced Stevens Pass as standard add-on for this game. But project was discarded, when Microsoft closed it's game studios. And finally, it is there. It is very accurate and recognizable, as close as possible in the simulator. I'm very happy! I can drive trains through my favourite stretch now.

Thanks to route builders, modellers, testers, all of the team who helped to create this masterpiece.

It is so accurate that if you drive the Empire Builder along Highway 2, you'll see a crazy guy in a car chasing you and trying to make it to Index bridge, but fail.
