Making A Maine Route

Unread postby trainman844 » Wed Dec 18, 2013 5:50 pm

Well I decided to make A route "Branch Line" based on where I Live In Maine. The Route will run from Bangor to Bucksport,Maine. I will do the best I can with this route.
Assets Needed

Portland Terminal "Of Course got to have the trains that go by my house Everyday."
RCAP
Marias Pass
If i put more i will let you wonderful people know

Use the Select tool on the track to measure out 1609.344 meters; that's one mile.
