Here's a vintage route yet created for Train Sim World 2. It would go from New York to Chicago. The route is over 959 miles. The NYC rolling stock would include J3 4-6-4 Hudson's, L1/L2 Mohawks, and the S1 4-8-4 Niagara's with freight and passenger equipment.
Far too long. Try suggesting something around 60 miles in length. Otherwise if you want to go from New York to Chicago, MS Flight Sim is thataway >>>>>
