The UP Salina Sub template is coming along nicely. I have the WB template generating nice activities, including traffic, and will start the EB template next year.
Finding decent UP locos is an issue, and after much searching I have decided to use the Diesels West UP set, which includes SD50, SD40-2, SD40T-2, and C30-7 locos. As a bonus, the user also gets some patched GP40 locos as a DW "special addition".

Final testing is going well. This template should be complete next week.

I understand that Basil will soon release an update. I have been working with Basil to ensure that the update is fully compatible with the activity enhancements that I added to the route. A preliminary look at UPSS-2 appears to work perfectly with the existing template.

By the time Norman has his template for Salina ready for use, I should have a set of maps for the same route and template with the hopes that the route update does not make the maps redundant. If there should be changes to the maps, I will carry out the changes necessary.
If there are other routes without maps that you like to see maps for, I wll take a look to see if I can make some. I am just getting my feet wet, so to speak, so I may not be able to carry out the task of drawing the complicated ones but I will try.

The update having been released by Basil, the route ID has changed in the TRK file to UPSS-2. Doesn't this affect the AG Template, and any previous activities generated?

The track doesn't change, so the map will still be valid.

It does affect the template, and previous activities will not run on this new version of the route.
I have one small change to make in the template files, that being to change the route ID to UPSS-2 in the template activity files. I might be able to get to it early next week. Until I get that done and Steve gets it posted, if anyone wants to run the UPSS-2 using the AG templates, simply go into the .act files and find the route ID line. Change it from UPSS to UPSS-2. BE SURE TO BACK UP THE FILE FIRST IN CASE YOU NEED TO REVERT.
