I've tried my hand at making a route, but it was just a bit too complicated. SOOOO..., I would like to find routes such as UP's Donner Pass, CSX's West End or CP/CN's transcontinental routes., or just about any somewhat prototypical route, I LOVE MSTS ,but the only routes I've enjoyed was Marias Pass and Tokyo-Hakone, REAL MOUNTAIN RAILROADING! Thanks as always for the help guys.
