FDL Fond du Lac

FDL Fond du Lac

Begun in 1880 as the 3-ft gauge Fond du Lac, Mayville & Amboy, on reaching Iron Ridge in 1886 the Milwaukee RR bought it and relaid it in standard gauge. In places the main is still constrained by the 3-ft alignment. Maximum grade 2+% EB and WB, ruling grade 1.5%. Here the Milwaukee did not fold and still operates the entire route. Some of the industries have real analogs. Many are notional, as is much of the downtown trackage. Terrain and alignment modeled from Topoquest.com(tm) and Google Earth(tm).
Intro is 'FDL Morning Connection.'
Each associated session is named 'FDL XX.'
For TRZ2009/10.
See the README for special rules and notes.
All served industries are installed. All the communities are represented although only the city of Fond du Lac is fully developed. Landscaping is complete from there to Highland Ave., Brownsville (MP 149) and from Iron Ridge to Neda.
