Description
You'd think 8 trains in one hour would be easy. I'm here to prove you wrong. The schedule doesn't look tight until you realize how slow the trains are and how many trains there are wanting a single section of track at any given time.

There are no signal penalties on any trains, but watch out for the passenger train (Labeled PASC), which has 30 second stop times at its stations, and all of its stops (except for Blay) are on the main route. However, all of its stops are set to any platform, so don't worry about sending it the wrong way.

This was kinda hastily made after I spent most of my recent time making another level for the game itself, and you might notice a lot of similarities between the two when it releases. Keep an eye out for WES in a soon-to-come update.

320 max score.

This was acutally quite easy, definitely not worth 4/5 difficulty. More like 2,5/5 at best, nothing really intricate about this and easily playable with 3x speed all the time.

A very enjoyable map! Completed it on the first go - slow but pleasant. Many thanks... :steamhappy:

Yes I see it now. But being a former train driver I did not see it as in real life it would be signalled for the train to go behind [which it isn't in the game]. But as it's a game, 'rules' can be broken so to speak lol. Ta.

Have you ever heard of something called a "wye"? It's a clever little trick that apparently you completely missed. Both levels are 100% possible. I've tested them both several times, and got people to playtest them before they were published.
Don't look at getting those trains from point A to B as fast as is possible for every move. Think outside the box.

Same with "Wading the Willamette". EM27 has to move from Union Station 3 [8:11-8:14] to Union Station 1 [8:24-8:27] - [how to do it when both lines are occupied to the east of Union Station and west is main line and will block incoming traffic?] when another train CS14 is going into that platform [8:20-8:22] from Salem.
I did this last year no problem but it has been changed as EM27 just changed ends and went back out. Also NOT good!

Your Wes map does not give you 100% because a freight train at the end has to propel at 30km/h and the timings are therefore out and you loose 3%! NOT good!
