BN Harvest Local Scenario for Butte Div. 1.2

This is a challenging and over 100 minutes long switching scenario for the Butte Division. Your task is to deliver 23 empties to the big Grain Terminal north of Great Falls and to return with 21 loaded cars. However, low speed limits, plenty of switching moves and having only a single GP9 for the job will keep you busy for a while. Please note, due to an uncooperative red signal, you need to run this scenario with "Exit on Spad" disabled in the RW driving options.

Two identical versions of this scenario are provided, one using two payware and some freeware downloads, and another one using only freeware downloads. A tutorial on how to swap rolling stock with RW_Tools is also included.
