Railroader Track Map

[thebear05]

For all those players looking for a Railroader Map this is how to find it.
: Open your browser of choice.
:Type Railroader Track Map.
: This will bring up a selection of sites, find the Steam Community listing stating Track Charts: Railroader General Discussions dated 30 Dec 2023.
This will take you to the Steam page with the maps. One of the devs loaded the pdf of the track map, just after the game was released. Unfortunately I cannot place the file in the game guide as I am not the owner. You will have to access the map this way.
The maps which are very detailed were made by DewClaw.

I have one question.

In Connelly Creek Branch track L3 has a capacity for 7 cars. (Log bunks are shorter than 50 feet.)

I wonder if I can take the engine the 7 bunk cars are with straight up the mountain past the spur and just back down all 7 burying the engine to load the logs? So there will be 8 objects on the track itself instead of 7.

Will that work?

Next question related to maps...

In whitter theres a red track behind the coal and water where the coal hopper would go is that color red the legend for that type of track the rest of the mapped area?

I see the map possesses a signal system....

Should I go ahead and purchase the signalling system for the railroad to allow the AI Bots to drive the engines around each other to and from various places? Or are the signals just eye candy? For human dispatching etc.

The signal system is best used by the player by using it in manual mode, switch to the CTC panel by pressing the 3 key. It also has an automatic mode but it can cause some issues since meets still need to be planned by the player.

Thank you for the answer.

Next item on the map question.

Pulpwood is easily understood on the Connelly Branch but not easily understood where to take them on these maps. I suppose thats for me to discover within the operations schedule when I dispatch a train to get it and deliver it. I opened up Slvya branch today and have a lot of discovering to do.

There are two industries in Sylva that take pulpwood, Parson's Tannery and Sylva Paperboard, both are at the far end of the line near the interchange. There's a pretty significant grade approaching the tunnel as you head toward Sylva, so you'll need a loco with decent power to pull the pulpwood train.

I noticed that with regards to Whittier Sawmill Siding SO1, if you have a couple of 54T F30 Flatcars, you can only fit 6 cars into the siding

You'd have to take that up with the map maker, since it is an unofficial map.

Are we going to get an updated map to download once the game is updated to include all of the experimental branch changes?

I use that map frequently to know how many cars can fit into sidings.

Just curious: Do you see a steam warning or any other kinda warning before it opens?
