## About This Content
At ~50km long and 40km wide the beautiful Columbia River Basin covers a
staggering 2000 sq km. Bounded in the east by the Rocky Mountains, the west by
the Cascade Range, and to the south of the Great Basin, the land within is
exceptionally diverse with tall mountains, arid plateaus, green river valleys,
and deep gorges.

This gorgeous route has fantastic scenic views everywhere you look and gives
players a diverse and unique rail experience. Its main river, the Columbia,
starts in British Columbia and empties into the Pacific Ocean near Astoria
Oregon. With population of more than 6 million people within its borders, the
Basin and its rivers have a rich history and are of great economic importance
for the region.

This route is a subsection of the world famous CPR Mountain Subdivision and is
prototypical as far as the software and assets allow. It is a wonderful
addition to the entire Canadian Rocky Mountain route series that is being
created for Trainz.

7 x Sessions Include:

The Basin LegLP Engineering have requested a unusually large woodchip order
and the usually truck delivery method just isn’t going to cut it. They have
asked CP Rail to pick up the goods and drop them off due to the large amount
needed and the speed in which it can be delivered. Pick up the goods and make
your way round to the LP Engineering warehouse siding. Be on the lookout for
other freight trains coming through as they will have priority over your run
today. These freight trains can get rather long so you might have a bit of a
wait. Best to take in the beauty of the Canadian Rocky Mountains!

CP Rail Freight RunYou and your colleagues will drive a freightliner from the
North of the Basin and delivery your train cars along the way. Donald
Industries requires the CP Rail Hoppers first. Once this is done you have a
long 12 mile journey with the group until you break off. Once you reach the
junction before LP Engineering driver Alan will head to the South and continue
his run without you. You will head towards the East through the mountainous
ranges. These canyons can be tough to navigate through so you might want to
get some coffee before the next leg. Be on the lookout for incoming traffic
down the mountain and once you get close to the exit another driver will take
over as you will need a rest by that stage. Good luck on the long journey
ahead.

Main Yard SwticherWelcome to the main yard of the Columbian River Basin. Today
you’ll be assembling an important freight train that is headed North West.
There is another switcher helping you assemble a few of the cars today. He’s
only doing part of the job though; you’ll be doing the majority of the work.
Follow all navigation points to determine what you need to couple up to and
move around to get the freight train assembled. Good luck.

Golden Airport – Heli Flight South EastTake a 45 minute flight from Golden
airport into the Kicking Horse Canyon than on to Parson and follow tyhe
Columbia River Basin through its gorgeous valley and river back to the
airport. Along the way you should see a Train or two hopefully so be on the
lookout. We hope you enjoy your flight.

Golden Airport – Heli Flight North WestTake a 45 minute flight from Golden
airport to the North West corner of the Columbia River Basin and back again.
Along the way you should see a Train or two hopefully so be on the lookout. We
hope you enjoy your flight.

One-Tunnel Automatic Session CRB
One-Tunnel Dispatcher Session CRBA busy day at the Golden hub of the CPR
Mountain Sub, with increased traffic on the Windermere branch line because the
MacDonald Tunnel (further west on the main line) is closed for maintenance and
repair. Trains are emitted at roughly 80-minute intervals at WestUnPortal and
EastUnPortal on the main line, and at roughly 120-minute intervals at
SouthUnPortal on the branch line. Trains are emitted in random order, which
may cause congestion at various choke points. Train drivers have their orders,
but are blocked at entrances to single track and at the crossings of Golden
Junction until it is safe to proceed. The Dispatcher session makes you
responsible for switching the blocking junction(s) giving access to single
track or crossing; appropriate rules do this in the Automatic session (the
blocking junctions are locked in that case). Junctions are reset automatically
to the blocking position after passage of a train. Access to the run-out
sections towards the UnPortals is always handled automatically, simply by
means of an open time window after a new train has been emitted. It is
possible to operate your own train in a running session, or even to take
control of an AI train. Just make sure to obey signals.

Other Assets include:Clean and dirty skins of a CP Rail Engine and several CP
Rail Consists.
