Midwest Indutrial railroad Ohio Branch wip route

[conrailfan1999]

Hello I am making a route for the Midwest indurail railroad and Hljames of the original ex PRR midwest industrial line. This was aquired from conrail in 1980 so far the route is on 10 miles and is a 25 minute mainline run with 4 towns and two diamonds/ interchanges with a ton of industry plus a yard.

This is the Canadian National former Grand trunk line from Detriot to springfield that interchanges with the mirr at marion

The Mirr took over industurail in 2012 as well as the pionner rail corp in 2013
1. A sw1500 ex pionner rail corp works the New Albany Industrail district
2. A run through Ns Grain train passes a county elevator with a wig-wag x-ing west of Marion
3. Ex industurail gp38-2 takes a mirr freight through the street running in downtown New Albany

A Mirr grain train passes one of many grain elevators on the line as it prepares to cross the Norfolk Southern at cp 28.

You do realize that you are using the Pioneer Valley Railroad equipment, not HlJames's MIRR equipment? I'm just saying that it would be more suiting due to the fact you named it as a branch line of the MIRR.

Yes in the fantasy history of the mirr the pioneer valley railroad merged with the the mirr in 2013. This is okay with HLJames because we talk about this stuff and our good friends. The route will be on his website.

Technically any power can be suited on the MIRR lines, there's still a lot of locos coming.
Also, keep up the good work!

Alright, cool! I was just confused as to why you were using one railroad and calling it another. My mistake

Speaking of the varying power that can run on the line, here's one such train running - MIRR ex-CR, CN, BNSF Executive, KCS Gray, NS High Hood

Hi all, I did some more work on the route and started the area where the mirr crosses the Maumee River

A few wips pics looking around the large town of Botkins, Ohio where the Mirr has many industries, a 5 track yard, intercahnges with the CSX and crosses the Maumee River.
