RW Joint Line 80s 'Coal Moving South' for Castle Rock

This is a scenario set in the 1980s on the Colorado Joint Line, of which the Castle Rock route is a freelanced rendition. This period saw a lot of ATSF and DRGW big power and many BN run through coal trains from the Powder River Basin, the SD40-2 was the king on the road.

'Coal Moving South' puts you in charge of an ATSF SD40-2 which has been sent out to assist a heavy BN coal drag over the line.

This scenario has been built using several freeware and payware packages to achieve somewhat realistic consists. If you do not wish to download or even buy quite so many add-ons you can use RW_Tools to substitute any missing or unwanted rolling stock items.
