Description:
This route represents the Corpus Christi Terminal Railroad (reporting mark CCPN), circa 2010. Owned and operated by the Genesee and Western, the Corpus Christi Terminal Railroad serves the port of Corpus Christi, the sixth largest port in the USA in total tonnage. Online industries include transfer docks and warehouses, a bulk granular facility, grain elevators, a large cement plant, several refineries, and numerous other smaller industries. Commodities transported include aggregates, brick and cement, chemicals, ethanol, food and feed products, machinery, pipe, minerals and stone, and petroleum products.
This route is nearly identical to the 'Corpus Christi Terminal RR' route, except that --as on the prototype railroad-- the Tule Lake Lift Bridge has been removed.
Also represented are the Union Pacific RR and Kansas City Southern RR tracks that connect to the CCPN, and over which the CCPN has trackage rights. The UP and KCS tracks are equipped with Dap's CMTM portals to allow the simulation of trains coming and going to and from the outside world.
For sample operating sessions to help familiarize you with the route, search for 'CCTR Sample Session' 1, 2, or 3 (kuids 425968:100638, 425968:100637, and 425968:100635) on the DLS or through your Content Manager.
The vast majority of assets in this route are available on the Trainz Download Station; however, there are a few assets you'll have to download elsewhere. See the thread for this route on the Trainz Freeware discussion board for information on this.
Please note that this is a fairly large and detailed route that may tax less-powerful graphics systems.
Many thanks to my friend Dap for beta-testing the route, and to all the freeware creators out there, without whose work and generosity this route would not have been possible.
