Woodys Logansville Branch

Inspired by the WNCRR's EF&A series & its bridging of the valley at Alarka Jct as well as a desire for more mountain grades closer to Bryson, this ~10 Mile Branch line connects the fictional town of Logansville with the Mainline at Alarka Jct.

This mod is broken into 3 major sections: The Base Branchline, The Alexander Automotive factory in Logansville & The Defunct Wiggins Creek Logging Railroad. Each of these sections is detailed below.

The Base Branchline:

Originally served by an Atlantic Railway branch line that travelled south to Franklin, the town of Logansville has a long railroading past. Starting as a small settlement at the base of the Wiggins Creek Logging Railroad, Logansville grew into a larger settlement with the growth of its 2 main industries, The Pascarelli Liquor Company & Alexander Automotive. However since the recent floods Logansville has become stranded due to washouts on the Atlantic Railway right of way. The Atlantic Railway has since chosen to abandon the branch line, citing excessive rebuilding costs. In response the township of Logansville has urgently requested that you build your own connection to the town to serve its industries.

-10 Miles of track from Alarka Jct to Logansville & the ML Copper Mine. Maximum grade on the track is 1. 5% & maximum track curvature is 10 degrees. Maximum safe speed outside of yards is 35Mph on the entire branch however 40Mph should be doable with small (5 or less) car trains/light power moves.

-2 Large Industries:

-The Pascarelli Liqour Company, intakes malt & outputs beer for a total of ~55+ cars per day at T5.

-The Mclaughlin Copper Company, intakes empty hoppers/mining supplies & outputs loaded hoppers for a total of ~35+ cars per day at T5.

-5 Stall Roundhouse W/Engine Service Facilities in Logansville as well as a wye track that is tested to accommodate large articulated steam locomotives such as Raiders RLW RMWF-1/2 JARL's & Crushers DMIR M-3 Yellowstone's.

-8 Track Storage/Sorting Yard in Logansville.

-Small 3 Track Interchange Yard for the Wiggins Creek Logging Railroad which is further detailed in its own section below.

-Access to the Branch is through the "Alarka Jct Viaduct to Logansville" Milestone (Requires the Alarka Jct Wye to be built) in Company mode & the "Logansville Branch Connector" Map Feature if in Sandbox mode.

-!!!Be aware that trains cannot be on the viaduct & the mainline track that passes under the viaduct at the same time!!! Because of how the game calculates impacts the game will see the 2 different trains crossing each other & assume they are colliding even though one is crossing over top of the other.

Alexander Automotive:

As the larger of the 2 Anchor Industries in Logansville, Alexander Automotive (AA) is the reg
