Hi Folks, A new map is under construction. Midwest Freight is all about moving freight around the upper Midwest. No sitting back and watching your passenger trains bring in the money. Not this time. The first engine for this map will be the CB&Q 2-8-2 number 4960.

Hi Folks. I have gotten everything transferred from my practice map to the Midwest Freight map and re-tested. Now I am starting testing for playability. This may take a while. This map covers a much larger area than I typically have used. I suspect a number of adjustments will probably be required. we will see how it goes.

I have finally finished testing on this map. All testing has been done at the Mogul level. I have finished work on the physical map. I now have to get the event files put together. I am getting there, little by little. Hopefully the finished map is not too far off.
