New Version of the Freeport Sub and IC&E.

Quick Drive only in the IC&E (Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd) at present between Kingston and Hampshire through Genoa.

Freeport sub coming soon.

I have used the track and buildings out of the Norfolk Southern Coal route. NEC route required but I think will work fine without it. I'm keeping scenery to the Norfolk Southern Coal route.

This route is based in Genoa, Illinios, USA. It is about 50 miles West of Chicago.

There are two sets of tracks, the CP and the CN.

Both will be usable, but right now you can do quickdrive on the CPRS between Hampshire and Kingston. There is a flyover of the CN Freeport sub at Genoa which in future will be usable.

Tracks are laid as far as Eglin and Hampshire on the IC&E and also Eglin for the CN Freeport Sub.


Route Information

Now there are actually three different tracks in this route!
First the Canadian Pacific Railway:

Second, the Canadian National Railway:

The third is at Elgin which I haven't worked out yet who is the owner! It runs North just West of Eglin after running alongside the CP line for a bit.

And hopefully you will be able to run Metras up to Big Timber from Chicago. That is when it is complete.
But the main aim is to run 12000ft freight trains at 40 MPH along the track.
