Train Simulator: Norfolk Southern Coal District Route Add-On Download Highly Compressed Rar -> http://geags.com/1bmovc
About This Content The beautifully rural Mon Line running through the heart of Pennsylvania springs to life in this new route for Train Simulator, complete with mile-long coal trains and distinctive street running.The original Monongahela Railroad was a joint venture between the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) and the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad (P&LE). Through the early 1900s, the two companies acquired many lines in the area and by 1930, the Monongahela (‘Mon Line’) was operating more than 170 miles of track serving numerous coal mines.At the heart of Pennsylvania’s coal country, the rural Mon Line is today owned by Norfolk Southern with CSX Transporation also having trackage rights. Coal mines dominate the route, with important facilities at Bailey Mine and Emerald Mine connecting with a staging yard at West Brownsville from where coal trains continue on their way to power stations or to ports for export.More than 20 million tons of coal is annually transported along the line, much of it to Loveridge Secondary where it is transhipped from rail to river barges. The route is primarily made up of four branch lines – Manor, Ten Mile Run, West Brownsville and Loveridge, and includes the unusual spectacle of full size coal trains sharing the public highway with cars along Main Street in West Brownsville.The route is relatively level, following the west bank of the Monongahela river, as far as Millsboro, then Ten Mile Creek to Waynesburg and Emerald Mine. The line then turns north east, closely following the twists and turns of Browns Creek. This final 15 miles to Bailey is completely rural in nature until it reaches the loop at Bailey, when the dominant coal industries take over.Included with the 50 mile section of the Mon Line from Bailey Mine to West Brownsville for Train Simulator is a Norfolk Southern-liveried ES44AC diesel locomotive, part of GE’s Evolution Series. Its mammoth 4,400 horsepower and 75mph top speed make it an ideal locomotive to head the long coal trains seen on the Mon Line. Engineers can also create their own coal loads at Bailey Mine and Emerald Mine with working coal loading facilities, and experience the rail served businesses along the east bank of the Monongahela River, including a metal recycling yard north of Brownsville, river barge repair and construction yard to the south, and a rail/river coal transhipment facility at Alicia.ScenariosSeven scenarios for the route:Training: ES44AC Expert ControlsTraining: ES44AC Simple ControlsRunning the ManorEmerald Coal RunPower SupplyMonumental (Part I and II)More scenarios are available on Steam Workshop online and in-game.

I have a bit of mixed feelings. The route itself is great, but some of the career scenarios are not playable, which is a pity. Even though I think I played well, I was 21 seconds late at the first go via point. DTG blew it when they updated this DLC. I filed a bug, but I it is completely unclear if they will change. At least one scenario is not playable. Thefore I changed my recommendation to negative. Having owned this route for nearly a year, I can say that it is a well done route. While it is on the short side, the route is well detailed, with cracks in the pavement, broken windows, dense telephone lines, and lush vegetation. Also, the Workshop community will eventually fill the gaps in the route (I myself am making an extension of the line to Lack), providing more running possibilites in the future. The locomotive that comes with the route, the ES44AC, is good, but the advanced braking is a bit buggy (it will penalize the user for emergency brakes at about 40% braking) and it is the only drivable loco available. The Dash 9-44CW does also come with the route, and while it is drivable, it is an old model with minimal features. In terms of rolling stock, the G113 coal hopper is provided, but this is the only piece of rolling stock. It is well detailed, but the route would probably see other types of coal hoppers in real life. Fortunately, the route also has several DLC's, most of which are of high quality. The route also comes with several scenarios that take you along the entire route. While they are engaging, there are no short scenarios. Overall, this route is good, with nice running, good rolling stock, and very nice scenery. 8.5\/10. Terriffic route. I will try to keep this unbiased, as I do not necessarily like single-track slower routes with less traffic, but I bought this for the locomotive\/rolling stock that comes with it.This route is long, mostly single-track with slow-ish speed limits compared to busier North American mainline routes. It has two coal mines served by the railroad, and one large rail yard at the end of the line opposite from the furthest coal mine. The locomotive\/Rolling stock are of good quality, due to an update shortly after TS2016 was released. The Norfolk Southern ES44AC comes with cab lights, working headlights, relatively good sounds, etc. The Norfolk Southern C44-9W also comes with this route, but it is a low-poly model with little features like the one from the Dash 9 pack. It is meant for AI trains only in its current state.This route also covers a section of track that crosses the river and goes past the Alicia Transhipment Company, where coal can be unloaded after coming from the mine.The only rail car that comes with this is a Norfolk Southern Coal Gondola. It has a great model, and the coal inside looks nice as well. After the TS2016 upgrade, you may have noticed that the rolling stock from Sherman Hill sounds much more realistic. The rail car sounds as they pass by sounds nearly like the real thing. The same thing happened with the rail car from this route. It also sounds very realistic when passing by.Overall, I definately recommend this route, as it is of good quality in terms of its scenery and rolling stock.. Only get if you are really into heavy freight movements. The line speed does not go above 25 mph. The scery is absolutley beatifull however and makes up for it greatly.I can't rate down the route for the speed limits as they would be accurate so in that case 8\/10. I think its a really good addon, The sceanery is awsome,i just wish it was fully animated like the DD40AX UP. Yes i recommend this game.I give it 5 stars.. Hey train simulator add norfolk southern kenova wv district please
