Expanded (sightly) Atlantic Bay Terminal
Posted: Sat Sep 07, 2019 3:29 pmI am getting ready to upload my own version of Great Northerner's Atlantic Bay Terminal route from the Steam workshop. I'm just trying work back through what assets I used because RW Tools is showing me more than I thought was saved as part of the route.
I tweaked the route a bit to expand the diversity of cars that were usable on the route. Great Northerner was kind enough to give me permission to post this, and all credit for its origin goes to him. As he posted it as freeware, obviously no payment can be charged for anything having to do with this route.
The setting of this route is a mid-20th century industrial town named Atlantic Bay, in my vision somewhere in the northeast. A Class-1 railroad passes through town but serving the various industries is the task of the terminal railroad. The switching shortline serves an interchange yard with the Class-1 railroad and has a small engine maintenance facility.
The Class-1 main line runs past past the interchange yard, and there is also a power plant on the other side of the yard that I threw in but haven't really developed. From the interchange yard is a track that leads to the main part of the ABT. There are two main quadrants with the engine shed in the middle.
On the track in is B&M Baked Bean factory that takes in boxcars of raw products and turns out boxcars full of canned beans. There is also Fitzpatrick Wire Co. that takes in boxes and flatcars to make wire products.
In the southern section is Atlantic Steel, the main rail user there. It has a pipe rolling mill that takes in coal for power to run the rolling equipment and steel coils which are the feedstock for the pipes. Unfinished pipes are then taken by mobile cranes over to the finishing plant, which takes in hoppers and tank cars carrying finishing materials, with the finished pipes being loaded out onto gondolas or flatcars on the other side.
Next to the pipe mill is Imperial Laminate Products that takes in plywood by rail and turns out various products by truck.
In between the north and south sections of ABT is Excelsior Fluids, which takes in tank cars to make various industrial fluid and fuel mixtures.
In the northern section, the first industry is Hough Bakery which takes in grain hoppers; there is a team track across from it. Next is Richardson Cold Storage which accepts reefers. The main industry in this section is PF Paper, which takes in pulpwood and kaolin and turns out paper. Lastly, Meyer Valve & Control accepts raw bar stock and turns out finished products in boxcars, and then the Sherman-Wilhelm Paint plant that takes in tank cars and box cars full of pigments and turns out boxcars with pallets of paint drums.
