    Are there any other route maps on either TSW2020 or TSW2 that have free roam yard switching like Oakville Subdivision (Hamilton Explorer)or Sand Patch (Cumberland Yard)
    Thanks

    as I use google translator, I couldn't understand it very well, but if you want to say that, if you have another route that you can work freely with the freight cars, move them and the like freely, I believe that only these two routes, MAYBE the two most recent American freight routes, but I don't think so.

    In TSW 2020, NEC: New York, you can free switch cars at CSX Oak Point yard as much as you want, in addition to this you can free roam run up and down the branch line to Fresh Pond junction; and switch cars at the yard there, too. I really liked having the ability to run on a line anytime without having a red signal stopping me, lets me make up my own services or scenarios at will.

    For TSW2, there's Sandpatch for free switching , like you mentioned, but it's limited to the yard. On Clinchfield, you can free switch coal hoppers and run up and down the branch lines, to where they join the main line.

    Wish TSW had more of that.

    Thank you Sergio, yes I too wish there was more of that,
    I like to rearrange the wagons and move them around the yard or between yards if possible, like New York NEC as you mentioned, thanks for the suggestion of Clinchfield, I might give that a try,
    I'm hoping they include this kind of activity in future releases, thank you
