Electrified traction railroads were once a common form of freight transport for many towns, both large and small, in North America. They began to fall out of favour in the 1930s and 1940s as highways were improved and trucks became more reliable. Traction railroads and the locomotives used on them came in all shapes and sizes but generally shared a grimy and run-down industrial appearance.

The Downtown Traction Company represents a busy and thriving traction railroad moving freight cars around a downtown industrial area.

There are many interactive industries, permitting the use of most types of interactive freight cars. There is a small locomotive depot and a MoW yard.

Despite the high level of detail, frame rates are excellent on a mid-range computer.

This route should appeal to those who like driving locomotives in either Cab or DCC mode, those who enjoy switching operations in a relatively confined but realistically portrayed environment, those who like interactive industries and fright cars, or those who just want to try a new item of rolling stock.
