North Eastern Railroad (vNERR) Announces 2 New VRs

As it approaches its second anniversary, NERR has found itself positioned to open at least two additional VRs. While NERR's previous endeavors were focused on the freeware side of the community, these two VRs will be based on payware routes.

The first VR will utilize the Cajon Pass 2 & Tehachapi Pass 2 routes by 3DT as well as the Kicking Horse Pass 2 route by MLT and upon its release MLT's Cascade Crossing Route.

The second VR will utilize the Kicking Horse Pass 2, Michigan Iron Ore: LS&I, The Bridge Line, and Sandpatch routes by MLT. The Kicking Horse Pass 2 route will serve as the transition route between the two VRs in addition to allowing work order developers the ability to transition into NERR through it's Northwest Division.

Both VR's will utilize the equipment included with their respective routes, as well as selected freeware products that have been released to the community. The works of Svante Wendel, Gaetan Belanger, and Bill Cline are some of the primary developers whose work will be highlighted in work orders developed for the two VRs.

Similar to NERR, all work produced by the staff of each VR will be free to members. The only expense that members will experience is the cost of the payware route(s) they wish to run on and any donation they choose to make to the 3rd party developers whose material is used. Individuals will be allowed to participate by only owning one of the routes utilized within a VR.

Work orders developed for the Kicking Horse Pass 2 route will be available from within both VRs. Individuals will be allowed to participate in both VRs as long as they complete the minimum monthly requirements to maintain membership (2 work orders per month).

NERR is finishing up the primary details for these 2 VRs and more info should be forthcoming in the near future. The western VR will be named the Pacific & American Railroad (virtual) and the eastern VR will be called the Great Lakes and Allegheny Railroad (virtual).
