Uncovering The Mystery of Zawal's "Small Slope" Route Location

[EngineerJohn]

So, playing around with Zawal's "Small Slope" route, which by the way is incredible. I discovered that it's actually based in New England.

1. All of the towns are real town names on the Connecticut river border of NH/VT (the tracks run on the NH side).

2. The line itself is now owned by a small railroad called the New Hampshire Central Railroad, where that loco shed near the south end is actually their headquarters.

3. The portion Zawal modelled is mostly used for car storage nowadays by the NHCR (especially north of their loco shop).

4. From what I could find, it used to be an old MEC branch line.

Although there are some issues for any rivet counters out there like how the yard at the south end is really just a couple of tracks and not really a yard, it's still carries the correct idea of what's actually there.

MEC fans, now's your chance.

Great find, thanks!
"New Hampshire Central Railroad" does sound a lot better than "Small slope".
