Santa Fe Junction PLUS

Welcome to Santa Fe Plus! Do you like running multiple trains at once? Do you like railfanning? Shortline? Switching? Yardwork? Mainline action? It's all available right here! Santa Fe Plus is a creative interpretation of the Santa Fe Junction in Kansas City, a famous railfanning site where you can see many trains at once, a freelanced mainline, and a point to point Shortline with an interchange yard. The layout fits two rail operators of your choosing (ex. CSX and FEC); one can operate the mainline while the other manages the Shortline - a combination of 15 destinations! ******************************* As with the Paradise City and Sunnyland layouts, a mock freight service is below, this time from the perspective of a railcar. **************************** CSX 1570 - Originate in "Fiddleton", run straight through "Santa Fe Junction" and into Harbinger Loop" - Make a right now at the junction, and pick up our railcar at "Random Mfg & Co." so that it is the last car* in your consist - Continue on "The Mainline's" inner track towards the "2 Position Bridge" - Hit the switch at "Dubious Deliveries" to enter "Splinter Yard" - The local yard switcher will place the railcar we picked up as the first car on a new consist, CSX 2681 CSX 2681 - Depart the yard headed back past "Dubious Deliveries" and pass straight through "Santa Fe Junction" - Route through "Irvine City" or "Vicious Valley" - Take the switch up the grade into the "Shortline Interchange" - Set out the first 4 railcars onto another track for a later pick up - Runaround your original consist, and then run back down the grade once the route is clear FEC 379 - Originate out of "Fisher Point Yard" with only two empty boxcars, head for "double Down Farms" via the Brandon area - Switch out the empties for the loaded boxcars - Runaround the short consist and head back, taking the point into the interchange yard - Pick up the 4 railcars CSX 2681 dropped off earlier and head back to "Fisher Point Yard" via t
