This package includes a reskin of a Fort Smith Railroad EMD GP9 Freight Unit.  It is a freeware repaint, copyright by Harry Adkins, 2014, and may be shared freely as a stand alone item or as part of a scenario as you wish, but may not be sold as payware or included in a payware package.

I wanted some FSR units for Rich Garber’s Fort Smith to Heavener route.  The FSR serves a number of industries in and around Fort Smith, AR.  It interchanges with the KCS and the A&MRR there.  The Fort Smith Railroad Co. (FSR), is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer Railcorp, and operates 18 miles of track from Fort Smith to Fort Chaffee, AR.  The railroad's principal commodities are iron/steel, frozen poultry, alcoholic beverages, sand, lumber, pulpboard, peanuts and military movements.

This is not an exact model.  Fort Smith’s locos are former ATSF low nose GP20’s.  You can learn more about the FSRR operations at this website:  http://www.pioneer-railcorp.com/fsr.html.  I have also uploaded maps of the Fort Smith to Heavener route by Allaboard to the Railworks America website.  The Fort Smith to Heavener route offers both mainline operations and switching opportunities.  It’s mainline extends from Heavener, OK, north to Van Buren, AR, where it connects with the Union Pacific (former MP lines). 

Installation:

1.  You must have Dick's freeware Britkits01 installed.
