Just in case you don't know about it.

The San Diego & Arizona line in Southern California. Real nice buildings and well done landscaping.....

Very well done for a desert type railway with lots of tunnels and really hard grades to get up.

When you setup to leave from Division there is a grade you start on. Many engines can not handle this grade with consists. Some even have trouble as a stand alone engine. Most of the problems are with Steam. Unless you have a long consist, diesels can start on the grade but proceed very slowly.

Yes it is. I'm surprised it only took you this long. :rolleyes: It's a fairly old route by now.

One caution about the turns and curves too. Try not to pull those super long wagons or rounding the sharp curves in there can be troublesome.
