Included Scenarios:
Free Roam: Monument
- An assortment of engines are located at Monument on the Castle Rock Railroad. Click an engine to start driving; as you explore the route you can jump into any other available engine in the vicinity. Other available engines, and assorted freight cars, are scattered throughout the route.
Cement Snoot
- Drive a cement train out of Victorville to Barstow using a Snoot Nose SD40-2 engine.
Running Notes: You will need to set the switches to Barstow Yard 10. Do this before you reach the Barstow Yard Gate 01 marker to ensure a smooth transfer into the yard. Similarly, check the switches leading out to Barstow East Yard 1 are set after you have dropped off your freight cars.
Against the Grain
- You are moving hoppers along the line starting with a set of full grain hoppers at Monument. Bring these to Castle Rock where new empties must be taken to Larkspur.
Running Notes: After you have dropped off the hoppers at the Castle Rock Cement Plant you need to pass back through the yard to couple to the waiting empties. The best path through the yard is through Castle Rock Cement Arrival 2 then couple to the empties with your engines pointing towards Larkspur.
Don’t Stop Moving
- Take a long, heavy train up the Cajon Pass on a winter morning. There are higher priority trains on the line so stop at signals when needed. However, coming to a stop on the steep up grades of the pass may cause problems.
Running Notes: Ensure the train on the North track reaches Summit before you. This may involve a slower climb up the Pass. After Summit, both you and the other train will be travelling North on different tracks until Lugo where you will end up on the same track. Allow the other train to pass the junction at Lugo first so you can follow in the next signal occupation block.
Free Roam: San Bernardino
- An assortment of engines are located at San Bernadino on the Cajon Pass route. Click an engine to start driving; as you explore the route you can jump into any other available engine in the vicinity. Other available engines, and assorted freight cars, are scattered throughout the route.
