Mississippi Limestone
A scenario for the Mississippi route
By Harry R. Adkins
December 2022
This scenario is for Jawal’s Mississippi route. You can download it from the Railworks America file library. Run the RW_AssetSetup.exe file to install.
Your assignment is to deliver three loaded MSLX hoppers to the yard at Louisiana. You will also pick-up three empty hoppers for delivery to the Mississippi Limestone facility at Friars Point.
I envision the Mississippi route as the Memphis Subdivision of Frank Ellison’s Delta Lines extending from Monroe, LA, to Memphis, TN. The Delta Lines mainline extends from New Orleans to St. Louis.
The Mississippi Limestone Branch is a 14 mile spur line from Louisiana, Mississippi, to Friars Point. MSLX owns twenty 50 ton offset-side hoppers purchased from the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie railroad. Most of their product is shipped south on the Delta Lines to Louisiana builders. Mississippi Limestone currently leases a Ten-wheeler (4-6-0) from the Delta Lines.
Hope you enjoy.
