The Sun Line is the best route I have created in all of my Trainz Simulator history. It takes place in the southwestern United States, just a couple of months before Santa Fe's merger with Burlington Northern, in the summer time. Santa Fe and Southern Pacific both own the 30 miles between two fictional towns named "Sun City" and "Sunville", which are the terminal ends of the route. At both Sunville and Sun City are 8-track passenger stations that serve Amtrak trains #3 and 4, the west and eastbound Southwest Chief. Both towns also have a gigantic 42-track yard for Santa Fe and Southern Pacific. About halfway between Sunville and Sun City lies the great Sun Woods, a very big forest. The Sunwood Lumber Company operates the giant Lumber Mill and the Forestry where the Sunwood Logging Local stops to pick up logs for the Sunwood Lumber Mill, turns around, and drops off the logs at the Lumber Mill. The tracks emerge from the Sun Woods at Heat City, which is not a big spot on the route. Shortly after leaving Heat City, trains cross the Sun River, where it follows the tracks. After navigating the Sun Loop, trains cross the Sun River again. Alongside of some hills, the Sun River runs parrelel to the tracks. After about two and a half miles the tracks cross the Sun River for the last time, where the river branches to the left, away from the tracks. Shortly after, the Sun City skyline can be seen. A short 2 mile trip brings us to the western end of the route, Sun City. Passenger trains go left, to the 8-track terminal station. Freight trains proceed to the right to enter the 42-track yard.

The route is on the Trainz Download Station, and I have released two versions of the route, version 1.0 and 1.1. I have released a second version of the route to fix errors and problems. If you see anything that needs changed, you can post them to this thread and I will put these changes into Version 1.2, which will also be released on the Download Station. I hope you enjoy the Sun Line, and be sure to check out the many sessions I have created for it, as more will be uploaded often! Enjoy!
