    I think I've done all I can on this route and the sessions. It'll be put on the DLS in the next day or two. Then I can go off to some quiet place and try to regain my sanity.

    • First thing done was the safety items. The east whistle posts are back in South Amboy - replaced the old wood posts with new type - and the speed limit on the Metalcraft spur.
    • The mileposts were off by 2/10 mile. Ugh. However, they are now prototypically correct and the signals have been renumbered to match. That was one of the two most time-consuming jobs.
    • Converting crossings from ATLS to Attilacrossings was the other major job. Only those in shunting areas were addressed. That

    The session FDL Friday AM has been ported to T:ANE, uploaded and approved. It will be available for download within hours.

    Due to a power shortage at Horicon, today's early patrol will be Eastbound sans caboose. First we have to make up the train and take care of an odd job in the West Yard, then do some light work on our way to Horicon.

    This is the first import from 12 to T:ANE SP3. The experience has improved in that there are fewer ghost consists needing attention; the     ...

    Version :2 has been uploaded to the DLC and should be available to all within a day or so.

    Track alignment is unchanged and the sessions I've uploaded for it all work with the changes without issues.

    Chief improvement is the replacement of nearly all track with procedural track and removal of nearly all the separate frog assets. Management also decided to upgrade the Rock River trestle at Mayville with a much more substantial structure, in view of the increasingly heavy     ...

    FDL Thursday AM Patrol West has been uploaded, approved and should be available within hours. It's in Build 4.5.

    Here you get to "patrol" (Milwaukee talk) the entire line and have work to do in several locations. Takes a couple of hours.

    Although basically the same as the 12 session, it was necessary to substitute the U30b loco for the SD9, which is not currently available in T:ANE. The advantage is, the U-boat is a much more powerful loco. In SP2, the front     ...
