The more time I spent with this route today, the more I enjoyed it. I didn't have high hopes being a switching centric route I've always enjoyed the NEC freight moves over CSXHH which is what OSD is similar too. No you can't access a lot of the areas and spurs, but neither can you in... MSB TVL sweet that its: Canadian, non boring mountain pass, unique engine (gp9rm), plenty of local jobs - long or short, new ethanol loading mechanic, massive industry and city scenery sour that its: same railcars diff paints, no passenger svc (yet?) with modeled stations, inaccessible spurs and lines, poor reused sounds The meat is in the timetabled mode for me. I enjoy shorter local switching (NOT yard switching) and slightly underpowered engines for such tasks, quicker jobs. If I had to rate now i'd say 6/10
Your take, is great. I agree with your pros and cons, but I also love the fact that it is all freight services. I’m glad the stations are modeled because for some reason going 60mph past a passenger station in a freight train is one of my favorite things. I also enjoy having a slightly underpowered unit for the job and I enjoy the local switching.
