New Route Idea

I have to start a new route since the Cornelia to Franklin Route has had some issues recently, Recently Being around a month or more ago.

The New route is based somewhere around the Western part of North Carolina and North East Georgia. The Railroad hauls Freight and passengers over a roughly 10 Mile to a 40 Mile long route through the Foot Hills of the Appalachian Mountains and Runs through the Appalachian Mountains up to The old Terminal town of Ashville NC where it connects to the Blue Ridge Southern on trackage rights up to Dillsboro NC and exchanges loads with the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad.

NOTE: The Bluer Ridge Southern & The Great Smoky Mountains Railroads are REAL LIFE Railroads you can see. The Great Smoky Mountains Railroad is a tourist line that does haul (I Think) Revenue freight too! The GSMRR (Great Smoky Mountains Railroad)
is apart of "American Heritage Railroads" Along with the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad in Colorado.

This Railroad know as the N.E. Georgia & W. North Carolina or The North East Georgia & Western North Carolina Railroad
is a large part of transportation & Tourism.

The Story behind the Little Railroad goes like this:

All the Roads in North East Georgia & Western North Carolina, Except for few, Have shut down due to major damages that will
be too expensive to repair and too dangerous to drive on. The ones that are safe are: Old 441 (NE GA), And the roads from
Hiwassee GA to Franklin NC and beyond are safe. Cargo has to be shipped by small truck, helicopter & By Railroad.

The North East Georgia & Western North Carolina Railroad hauls cargo & people in the Mountains of NE Georgia & W. North Carolina Through Many towns INCLUDING Tallulah Falls GA, Franklin NC, Ashville NC, and Dillsboro NC and many others.

A Large mill sits in Ashville, A Paper Mill, that is.


The Railroad serves people in the Head Quarter town of Point East or AKA Hiwassee GA.

-CEO, Unknown.



Thats the basic backround,

The Railroad uses Equipment in Different Railroad Paint Schemes as it is unable to repaint locomotives and rolling stock to its own paint schemes.

The Railroad also has a 3ft & 2 & 1/2 (2.5)ft Narrow Gauge -NG- System that connects small towns to Stops on the Main Line.

The Tramways move people and goods to main line stops at Depots (Similar to a station) and Major Passenger Stations.

Railroads where equipment comes from:

-N.S.
-U.P.
-K.C.S.
-B.N.S.F.
-C.N./C.P.
-S.O.U./S.R. (Ex)
-N.H.
-A.T.S.F.
-F.E.C.
-N&W
-C.R.
-S.P.
-G.N.
-C&O
-P.R.R.
-R.B.M.N.
-M.A.R.T.A
-D&R.G.W.
-D&S
and numerous Undecorated Locos and Rollingstock with few having Railroad Company Names that aren't around like Tallulah Falls Railroad on a Harriman "Ten Wheeler" or 4-6-0.
