First CP Mactier Sub Activity Pack released

[ekeating]

Hello again everybody,

This morning the file library has been added to with my first activity pack for CP Mactier Sub 1.5, with Trainsimulations' (formerly known as Streamlines) stock for the route as well. The 9 activities include anything from monster intermodals to to manifests to unit trains, based on how schedules and operations in the modern day. Like always if anybody has questions, comments, quandaries, compliments, issues, or anything else regarding this set feel free to post here.

I hope you all enjoy!

I am doing Part #1 CP 113. May I ask why the lengthy 10mph speed restriction? That section is usually 30mph, right now there is a lot of rail reconstruction through that part of the corridor and train speeds are restricted to 10-15 mph because of the proximity of equipment and workers. The time frame of this route is way before that took place.

A bit about the reconstruction:http://transit.toronto.on.ca/regional/2102.shtml

That one is fun! Of all of them that was by far the most intricate and the most I had to do to make sure it worked completely in game. Which is why it is actually a two-parter.

Are you referring to right at West Toronto Jct? The 10mph is actually an in-route restriction. It may seem longer than usual simply for the fact that you are commanding a 12,000-foot train!

If its in a different spot feel free to let me know!

I made it to the yard, but the siding specified is not there. And how do I "Let you know" when I am ready to leave?

See pic for what sidings I have listed. This is in Open Rails. Thank You.

Oops! I'm sorry about that one, that is actually a typo on my part! When I run the activity I dropped them in Arrivals / Departures 2 or 3 (which ever one is unoccupied), there's no "cost" for putting them wherever they fit. Once you make your setoff you are okay to go!
