Holy smokes, you don't fool around. That's a lot of track to lay down. Best of luck, and when you hit Winnipeg, if you need some pics of any sort, just let me know. Notice I said when you hit Winnipeg and not if, Confidence level is high.

You'll be lucky if it loads. That is a ton of track it needs to parse through.

By Railworks standards, a 100 miles-long route is considered big. It takes months or even years to finish.

Can you start in the west? Looking forward to the BC section.

I'm just fiddling with making a Canadian route as well but keeping it to the Port Alberni - Nanaimo section of Vancouver island. Any pointers on how and where to get the land files for Canada? What's ReDem?
