This route is an extension of the Cheyenne 1869 route, built by Smokebox. In stage two it replicates the route of the First Transcontinental Railroad between Cheyenne and Medicine Bow over the Sherman Hill and the Laramie Plains like it was in 1869. It is based on historical images, traces which are still visible on Google Earth, and information gleaned from various sources, along with a certain amount of artistic license. Total lenght about 135 miles.

If you have a previous version of this route installed, please uninstall it with the utilities.exe (it's in the railworks directory).

If you have made changes to the old route, that you don’t want to lose, make a clone of the old route first.
