The riverboat Yuma slowly navigates upstream while waiting for the local mixed train to Mayo to clear the bridge.

where did you get that swing bridge? i'm usually trolling the DLS for swing/lift/pontoon bridges, mainly 'cause i like them. I find ways to use them somehow!

That bridge is on the DLS. Search KUID 210518:1274:1

With the local clear and the bridge in the open position, river traffic can resume as normal.

The local log train from Luraville waits on the branch for the passenger "express" (at 30mph) to storm by the junction on its way to Live Oak.

Thank you. Nothing like the smell of pine sap and coal smoke in the Florida sunshine.

Man, I sure hope so also. Would love to run this route.

Ah, classic railroading in the days before automobiles, planes, trucks, buses, diesels and electric locomotives. Did I mention diesels? (lol :hehe: ) I am amazed at the detail of this route. If I didn't know any better, I would have sworn we had gone back in time to 1915. Only downside is no GG1 electrics. :'( But hey, I prefer steam over both electric and diesel any day.

Hmmmm - the steam engines may need a little work for anything past TRS2006. I believe Terry has his Civil War engines fixed, and is just waiting for a bug to get fixed in TS12 with respect to engine sounds in the cab before he uploads. I don't know Ben's plans for his locomotives, but I believe he's pretty busy with college right now.

Hey Bill,

I'm going to take an educated guess and say the tree splines wont work in '12. I haven't had many problems so far with '12 personally but I know that older splines give some problems.

What you can do is create a clone of the asset with your KUID, and use only those assets with your KUID, and it should import into '12 some what alright. But I'm not totally positive of that.

Thanks for the replies. I just would hate to have to trash my route. It's actually fun to operate!
