Here is a update as of 3.6.12 : The route is complete! I will just have some people beta test and tell me what to change. For this thread up next is going to be a tour of every industry on the MIRR Ohio Branch. I will start at the east end ( Crestline ) and work my way west all the way to the end of the route which is the large town of botkins.
