North Eastern Railroad Conceived

We Deliver What Others Promise

A new virtual railroad is opening September 1, 2002. North Eastern Railroad staff have been preparing for opening day since October 2001. Many months have gone into developing a whole new concept in virtual railroading.

Nine routes were adopted to make a virtual North America. Activities are designed in several ways. Divisional - Span several routes, Local - Stay in 1 route and Extra Board - For 1 time run special activities. Other activities are designed in parts, to simulate an entire work day. Each starting where the other left off.

Over 130 pieces of equipment have been repainted in North Eastern colors. Each piece of equipment has been thoroughly overhauled to have correct physics, operating lights, brakeing forces, dimensions and power. Plus couplers are fixed for the dreaded Marias Pass coupler breaking.

A training division has been set up with special training equipment and activities. It has been designed to follow NORAC standards. Allthough it is not required, it is fun and Award Certificates are given out for those completing training and/or recertification.

North Eastern is run by a bunch of old guys who love trains and computers, one of us even works for CSX as an engineer. We are all over 40 but still like to play with trains and if you do, come and play on our railroad. It'll be fun, as that's what we intended.
