    As someone kind of from the area (at least in the same state, have been to Salisbury a couple of times), I have to say... interesting choice?

    I'm not complaining at all, this looks interesting and different, but it is kind of unexpected!

    Heck, yeah! I can't wait for this! But all the same, we do need another NS mainline! Maybe perhaps, expand this route to Charlotte or Spartanburg!

    Didn't see this coming! If this line had the GEVOs again I wouldn't buy it but with geeps, I NEED it! Took long enough to see something from the South besides Miami-WPB.

    But conversely it means that loads of scenarios will come out from the american devs

    Lots of people think lots of different things. I personally would prefer to see more local companies producing local routes (ie americans produce american content) etc but it ain't gonna happen.

    There's too much railway and not enough sim LOL

    This is a branch line or short line railroad... not intended to be a mainline long haul. Looks like it will have plenty of line side switching and track profile will prove challenging. One of my favorite DLC is the B&O Kingwood Branch because of the challenges the line provides. Looking forward to this one’s release.

    Being somewhat new to railworks and also from the south, this piques my interest. Though ive got a massive wishlist backlog this may be a day 1 for me

    TSW is capable of long routes too.

    It can handle longer routes though. The reason that they are shorter, is because of dev time.

    Don't think there's any limit as it works on the tile system of loading and offloading the scenery as it goes. The time to make the assets and group them together, and the download size are probably greater limitations than direct line length
