Hi to all,
Still waiting for the release of WF10, I have decided to look at the Milwaukee Road's Rocky Mountain Route 1st div. released last year and fell in love with the route. Moe Smith(Dispatcher) have created the template for this route and am looking to create a template for the 4th sub. Before going any further here's some information ( From Wikipedia) regarding the reason behind electrification of the whole area. "The Milwaukee soon found that operation of steam locomotives over the mountain passes was difficult, with winter temperatures that reached -40°F. Electrification seemed to be the answer, especially with abundant hydro-electric power in the mountains and a ready source of copper on-line at Anaconda, Montana. In 1914, electrification began between Harlowton, Montana and Avery, Idaho. The first electric train ran in 1915 between Three Forks, Montana and Deer Lodge, Montana. The system used was 3,000 volt DC overhead line." Moe's template ( first division) covers from Harlowton, going West to Three Forks, Montana,about 100 miles away. The template considered is the 4th division, covering Avery, Idaho, going East to Alberton, Montana about the same mileage. the railway area between Avery and Roland is considered among the finest feats of railway engineering as despite the rugged terrain, engineers were able to keep grades reasonable. Lots of tunnels and trestles inside such spectacular scenery. Sidings are marked, looking good for a template. I have yet to discover some more aspects of this route and will update regularly with progress of its coming template and will try to include shots of this scenic route. -------------------- Denis Gionet
