DowntownTractionCo 2a

This is Version 2 of Downtown Traction Co. It is for Trainz 2004, 2006, 2009 and 2010. It is based on the version that is included in the TS2010 release, but TS2010 users will now see it as intended with the correct track and foliage.

All the dependencies needed by the route are on the Download Station.

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. Lighting is provided for night time operations.

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.

Note
The track with concrete sleepers is for the exclusive use of AI trainz.
The AI trainz have priority at all squeeze points.
Three yellow markers between the rails represents an interactive industry. When configured, freight cars will load and unload when spotted between the markers.
Two yellow markers represents a ProtoLARS industry. A complete train will load or unload after a one minute delay when one freight car is spotted between the markers. With ProtoLARS a locomotive does not need to be attached to the train for the train to load or unload.

Detailed maps of the route and other information is contained in a file that can be downloaded at
