    The Xinying Sugar Factory(新營製糖廠) ended sugar production in 2001, and in 2003 the route from Xinying to Liuying(柳營) was restored for sightseeing ,the gauge is 762mm

    This section of the repaired route goes through "Annei Line(岸內線)", "Xuejia Line(學甲線)" and "Da Nei Line(大內線)" to Yingchang Ranch(營長牧場), and the total length is 5.46 kilometers, some areas are dual gauge railway[ 762mm / 1064mm ]

    Last year, it extended northward to the Xinying station of the Taiwan Railway Administration.

    Before 2004, the grain train of Taiwan Railways traveled along this section of the route from Xinying Station to the non-staple food factory in the south.

    5km? WAY too short for value.

    Plus DTG have said it is currently hard to justify doing DLC outside the core areas and sadly this really is off the beaten track when it comes to R&D or likely sales.
    This is a route where in all honesty if wanted, you're going to have to fire up the editor in Trainz or TS and make something that vaguely resembles it yourself.

    The average running speed is only 30km, the highest 40 maybe
