The good thing is the route is very drivable. Have a go!!

UPDATE: 11 June 2017 -scenery added West of Genoa
>>> DLC Aurora Racetrack required for Metra Scenario

August 20th 2016



I have reuploaded this route for the following reason:

I intend to keep it simple which is requiring US Assets, NEC (NorthEast Corridor) and Norfolk Southern Coal route but this has a scenario which requires the Aurora Racetrack. For the simple purpose of the Metra train, it is a short ride from Elgin heading North West up to Big Timber. You can explore the route almost all the way up to Rockford. It is about 50 miles from Elgin to Roackford.



You should be able to explore the route WITHOUT having the Racetrack. It is just that the scenario from Elgin to Big Timber on the Metra will not work.



Feedback welcome. More fixes required (there is still a lot of work to be done so if you want to write a huge list of fixes required you can, it will be helpful)



Pingree Grove has a bit more scenery now and I intend trying to finish the route between Elgin and Hampshire so we can make it half decent. It still probably has about 12 months work before it nears completion. Not bad for freeware.



August 17th 2016



Added scenery Big Timber area, and Plato Center.





August 15th 2016







Scenery for Irene added and Big Timber (partial). Free Roam for Irene (Irene 2 starts there so you don't have to navigate-fly) is available which heads East to Elgin.







August 14th Information update







Check out Irene (by BasicBill on Youtube) will be next to be modelled in this route, getting closer to Rockford.

Just North West of Irene in Rockford, a little trivia.







Blackhawk Springs is there. Has anyone seen Blackhawk Down and know the code name for 'Mission GO' in the Ridley Scott movie?















Also Amtrak will be heading to Rockford resuming its Blackhawk service. It is suffering a delay presently.

Updated 11th August 2016



More scenery added Elgin, Colvin Park and Kingston







Scenery added at Elgin and Burlington. And on the CN south east of Genoa.







Freeroam scenarios to explore from Elgin and South Elgin on the CPR and CN routes respectively.







Updated 9th August 2016











Yes I finally decided to work on this route. Matt did say it looked abandoned as there was no work in progress for quite some time. But we are back in business!







Added scenery in the Kirkland township, west of Genoa.







I will be adding more track and length soon, along with more scenery.







This is a real world prototypical route. ie Non Fiction. It is authentic to Illinois, USA, of the Genoa-Elgin-Rockford area and is a work in progress. As work progresses more scenery is added. Check back for updates frequently because it is being updated at least twice a week.





Update 31-08-2014





Scenery added between Genoa and Hampshire. Bridges and and scenery in Genoa and near Colvin Park.



Quick Drive and Free Roam in this update.







Genoa has more detail now. Hampshire too. Gradually as work progresses the route will be from Elgin to Rockford on the Canadian National Freeport Sub and separately (another track altogether!) the Canadian Pacific Railway IC&E (Iowa, Chicago and Eastern Railroad formerly and known as or may be known as CPR's Chicago sub).







Signals now work! You should be able to make a Standard Scenario with an AI train or more.







It will be about 50-60 miles of track on each railroad. The Chicago Sub (CPR) will go North from Davis Junction to Rockford. I have plans for this route which go beyond this scope and can be read at Railworks America in Route Design Forum.







Stations on CPR (Canadian Pacific Railway):







(From Elgin direction)



Elgin







Genoa







(The next loop is at Davis Junction (heading towards Savanna or turning North at Davis Jct will take you to Rockford) but is not yet built in this release). I will arrange a map soon of the route.







Stations on CNR (Canadian National Railway):



(From Rockford direction)



Colvin Park



Burlington







(Track runs into Elgin but no station yet)







28-08-14







Quick Drive now on the Freeport Sub CN!







Signals and loops added. Burlington to Colvin Park on the Freeport Sub of Canadian National Railway.







26-08-14







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.







On DLC: (Downloadable Content)







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.







Addons Required: Official Route DLC: Northeast Corridor







Other Packs: Classic American Assets, Norfolk Southern Coal







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:

Historically from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dakota,_Minnesota_and_Eastern_Railroad







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. 55MPH-60MPH on the Freeport sub, owned by Canadian National Railway.
