Milwaukee Road Afternoon Switching Scenario

This is a challenging switching and wayfreight scenario for the GN Butte Division route. You are the engineer of a Milwaukee Road GP9 based in Falls Yard and will have to service several industries along the line. Your work order includes many freestyle switching tasks ('marshall' instruction), so you have choices in how to get the cars to their destinations.

Two versions of the otherwise identical scenario exist. The standard one, file name Butte-Div_MILW-Afternoon-Switching.rwp, makes full use of all available rolling stock that fits to the 1960s MILW/GN theme this scenario is set in. However, you need two payware packages to run this version (see below).

The second version, file name Butte-Div_MILW-Afternoon-Switching_freeware.rwp, has the same work order as the standard version, but requires only default and freeware content to run.
