Summer on the Great Bear Trans Island Railway from The Long Dark. V2.4noS

Description
This is my Great Bear Island Line turned from mid winter to mid summer.
I made it a while back so it is not as updated as the winter layout, but I am very happy with it all the same.
You can now work the line hauling logs and cargo as before, or run a tourist train, taking Hikers, campers, Hunters & fishermen too and from the various lodges and camp grounds.

I have created this model railway inspired by Hinterlands "The Long Dark".
You can now ride the Great Bear Trans Island Railway before the quiet Apocalypse begins!
I have modelled the full line and added locations at both ends not present in the Long Dark.

Great Bear Island lies off the coast of Canada. It is populated by hardy people, but the prosperous times have long passed. The Trans Island Railway traverses the island from Coast to Coast, taking supplies up the line, and bringing back Timber & ore from the mines.
Starting at Port MacArthur inlet, the line climbs through the valley on a loop to gain height.
Through the mountains the line emerges high up in the Coastal Highway region. Along the ridge and through another tunnel you cross the Ravine region and over the ageing Curved Trestle bridge, before entering the third tunnel, the line emerges to cling to the cliff sides and on through a river gorge.
The line passes the abandoned Carter Hydro Dam and on into the Forest past the Mystery lake Cabins.
Through another tunnel you traverse the Forlorn Muskeg region, a sunny marshland, then on to the final section through the high mountains up to the End of the line at the High Falls logging camp.

I designed it with the driver experience in mind rather than the modeler's view, best played in the sun!.
I have updated the map to include more detail along the length of the track.

Thanks to Franks for developing Rolling Line, it is awesome, and Hinterland for the inspiration from the Long Dark.
Hope you enjoy, it was a blast making it.

Will this be getting any updates?

To update this I would have to "Summerise" my current winter layout, which takes a lot of effort. I may look at doing this after the latest update of my winter version. Thanks for playing.
