" I need info on the frequency, types and speed limits assigned to the various types of freight trains on the NEC in the late 1970's. Also, the NEC route has many "dummy" tracks which I assume represent other railroads either crossing or interchanging with the NEC. I would like to know what some of these roads might be as far as the MSTS section of NEC is concerned. (Sorry for posting this in the "Routes" forum but I figured it might be the place where I may find folks with the info Im looking for).I'm fairly confident that my consists represent the prototype consists of the era with a reasonable amount of accuracy, and I have visited my fallen flags of the northeast RR homepages for proto info but any advice anyone has will be greatly appreciated and result in a more accurate and therefore more enjoyable activity package.BTW- the activity package is about halfway done!!!....I have several activities complete and several more in various states of completion plus lots of ideas for more....... expect about 16-20 activities!!!!!I will shortly be posting a more detailed "progress report" with descriptions and screenshots of the activities and a at least a partial list of the required add-ons that need to be installed...(I'm waiting on several engines and cabooses that some folks have generously offered to skin for me to become available...Many thanx guys!!!)Longhairedwizard
