So the routes only connect at Brownsville?

I've been thinking, DTG normally sells shorter routes like Rivera line and Somerset for 25 dollars and longer ones for 50. SSince this is a shorter route would this be for 25 or 50?

50? where are such prices?
all routes I got from Steam/DTG in last 6 months were 19.99, separate loco add-ons 9.99.
bundles are usually cheaper (like NEC New York - New Haven + HHP8 ). I like this pricing policy, actually I got more add-ons than I can physically play *!sad!* (some are barely touched)

That would seem to be correct.

Being that his location says Canada I would assume thats why. Canadas prices are always a tad bit more than US prices.

Really that truly only applies for fuel and vehicles, everything else is pretty much the same on either side. (not counting the fluctuation of the dollar and all)

THe amazing thing about this route is the amount of coal that is shipped on a daily basis. The Bailey Mine is the biggest producer as of last year 11 million tons of coal and the new BMX (Bailey expansion) will double that amount. If you get a chance go onto Google Earth and type in Waynesburg Pa and move to the North west of Waynesburg about 5 miles and you will see the Bailey complex. I think that one of the pictures on Raildriver is showing the complex. The mine in Wanesburg is the Enlow fork.

Literature seems to be slightly more as they have both US and CAN prices listed on books and magazines. I'm sure it's more than just fuel and vehicles.

Actually mistake on my part routes are 40 not 50, however we usually pay a bit more than Americans because our dollar is lower than Americas

I don't mean a whole new model, I just mean key features like the new braking feature, new physics, and whatever else they've improved since they released the Dash 9. Maybe a new interior if we're lucky. Again just a speculation.

sounds very nice, but highly unlikely in my opinion
