AbileneTexas

This route represents the tracks of the Fort Worth & Denver Railway and the Texas & Pacific Railway in Abilene, Texas, USA in the 1950s. It was inspired by the article 'Fort Worth & Denver Days' in the Fall 2009 issue of Trains magazine.

The route consists mainly of urban and semi-urban switching, including street running. There is a passenger depot for each railroad, a small freight yard and depot, and an interchange between the two roads. There is also a coal-fired power plant, cottonseed and feed mills, and numerous other on-line industries. There are portals to the north, south, east, and west for use in simulating through traffic and bringing trains on- and off-stage. T&P trackage is indicated by junction names starting with TP, and FW&D trackage by junction names starting with FWD.

Download my 'AbileneSampleSession' for a simple introductory operating session. Download my '1950s-Era USA Region' to have appropriate 1950s-era North American cars on the streets. Many grade crossings on this route are controlled using ATLS.

My sincere thanks go out to all those who create content for Trainz, without whose fine work I could never have made this route.
