Clinchfield

The Clinchfield Railroad traverses the Appalachian mountain region of the United States of America and is some of the most beautiful country in the world. It is an engineering marvel and it is both a coal-hauler and a bridge route which makes for a variety of interesting operations. The current CSX Railroad swallowed up the Clinchfield Railroad and still uses the old route in its daily operations. The Clinchfield Project is a semi-prototypical depiction of the Clinchfield Railroad as it was in the late 60's or early 70's. Actual route maps were used by TPR in an attempt to capture the actual locations in reference to each other. However, at the time that the original Clinchfield route was started, actual track diagrams of the various yards and coal tipples along the route were not available. So a large degree of modelers license was used to depict these areas. While there are a variety of other industries on this route, with its over 25 coal mines and tipples this route is for those who primarily want to haul coal! The reason is fairly simple, there is so much coal-oriented industry in the simulation that you will have a never-ending variety of operations just getting hundreds of coal hoppers to and from the tipples, to the lower plants and to the yards and interchanges. This is an update of the Clinchfield TRS route which was last updated by Craig Hutchison (Momentum) in 2005. The original author of this route is John Keenan from TPR who has generously granted permission for me to update this route to current standards. My thanks to all the 3rd party content developers who make routes like this possible! A special thanks to Ben Dorsey for his custom content! Lots of scenery and attention to detail so this layout will require a computer with really good graphics handling capability. This is a multi-seasonal layout courtesy of mcguirel’s UltraTreez and UltraTextures.
