Don't forget, routes just can't be made that big...in MSTS, a 200+ mile route is very rare, as it takes an extreme amount of work to develop all of 200 miles of track, scenary, signals, ect, and also- the route would just take up too much space on a computer. As mentioned, there's a couple of little parts of the auto-train route, but like I said, something of that magnitude is just too big for MSTS.--The FBL Commuter Edition!!!!!!---You can never have too much inner beauty.

There are few routes with parts of the AutoTrain route like Florida Funnel and CSX A-Line. The AutoTrain route is about 850 miles from Lorton to Sanford, a route of that size couldn't be created.

I am working on the CSX RF&P line between Fredericksburg and Washington. It includes the Auto Train terminal and about 35 miles of the Auto Train route (from Lorton to Fredericksburg. I have been working on it pretty steadily for two years and hope to have it finished this summer.Steve Dunham
