Here's the latest update on one of several routes that I've been working on. The route I call 'Appalachian Southern', since it's set in the Appalachian Mountains. It features built-in Trainz 12 products, specifically the Jointed Rail track used on the Mojave Sub. There are two coal mines, which come from the 'Norfolk & Western - Appalachian Coal' route and the animated people from the 'Balezino-Mosti' route. I found that the coal mines will automatically load the 'clean coal' product into the '100-ton 4-bay Hopper, WL&G' <kuid2:124017:5014:1>, so I decided to use that to add a little bit of 'humor' to the story of my route. Here's the addition:
In 2010, the Georgia Power coal mine discovered a rich seam of unobtainium, which a small sample was sent to a laboratory to test its properties. The results was suprising: Unobtainum produces almost no CO2 emissions, and current coal-fired power plants will not need to be modified in order to use unobtainium in place of coal. It also was discovered that less unobtainium was needed to produce the same amount of electricity that would be produced if regular coal was used. This seam of unobtainium is the only one found so far, which makes the unobtainium very valuable. This find has resulted in an increase in income for the Appalachian Southern, saving it from the brink of abandonment. It has also given management the idea that there would be a chance that it may be possible to convert one of their old steam locomotives to use unobtainium instead of coal to power it.
Does that sound like a good story?
