Glacier Park to Shelby GN Empire Builder

You will be taking an employees special on the restored Great Northern Empire Builder from Glacier Park to Shelby.

The activity is still being tested and won't take as long as the Glacier Park to Whitefish one!

As is usual, web•TrainSim has been testing in various weather conditions for variety.

This activity has been compiled into a zip file with Route Riter so you can see what you're files you need to install.

On the technical side of things, this activity works because of the robust signalling rules put into place by the Marias 3.1 authors.

To download, see here.

Oh, there's more blatant advertising by web•TrainSim who has placed his 40- and 86-foot boxcars on various sidings.

Rolling stock

All the following rolling stock is available from the Train-sim.com library. Hopefully web•TrainSim is correct with the Superliner coaches; check with ConBuilder and then use it to substitute other model Superliners if you receive any errors.

There are some loose consists of the web•TrainSim boxcars, but you can use ConBuilder to substitute your choice of rolling stock in running consists. Be careful, however, to keep the train lengths roughly the same as the original (i.e., don't increase a train length from, say, 50 wagons, to 100 wagons). Apart from perhaps not fitting on a siding, train speed will change with a heavier load and you could spend longer at any reds.
