Canadian Pacific Watertown Subdivision

Description
Welcome to the Canadian Pacific Watertown Subdivision! This subdivision stretches from Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Portage, Wisconsin.


Coming out of Milwaukee, trains will either enter/leave from Milwaukee Depot, or if they are coming from or going to the yard, they will enter/leave from Muskego yard. A few trains will go to the North Milwaukee Spur, mostly the WSOR trains and a CP local. Trains on the Watertown Subdivision must also cross the CN Waukesha Subdivision at Duplainville. The line then turns to single track with some sidings until Watertown. During that stretch trains will cross the lightly used UP Clyman Subdivision. The line is double tracked between Watertown and somewhere West of Columbus. The line turns back into single track with a single siding until it reaches Portage. There is a small yard in Portage due to it being the convergence point of three subdivisions. The Watertown Subdivision, the M&P Subdivision, and the Tomah Subdivision. Portage is quite the busy place and must be managed carefully. This map is about 95% accurate to the ATCS screen, so it also is 95% accurate to real life.

Nerd stats:
- 10 hours and 7 minutes

Very interesting map, different to lot´s of others. Great Job.

Wow! Just completed this - what a map. I really like all your stuff man...

Hey there, CP (CPKC :steammocking:) Signal Engineer from the Midwest here, gotta say this is pretty good! Really enjoyed playing this. Felt like I got to experience life from the dispatcher's office. I refused at one point while playing this map to give myself track rights to work on a signal hahaha
Awesome job!

@historybuff - What I might do is Milwaukee to B6. A nice 80 miles or so, with multiple junctions included. Straight forward but hopefully still challenging and realistic.
Redbird Aug 17, 2022 @ 3:57pm 
@GoodGuyJerrell - Certainly an extension to this route would be awesome. But perhaps building a different line, or another junction perhaps. I've been working on one myself but I've been have some issues. I enjoyed your Deval and B6 Routes as well. Perhaps making your Techny Route into a scheduled session as well? (If you're wondering, I've been working on the Tolono Junction in central IL, just south of Champaign. A junction between CN and NS.

I had fun, well done! Forgot about 100 and 101 trains haha
GoodGuyJerrell  [author] Aug 14, 2022 @ 8:59pm 
@historybuff - I don't have anything in the works now, but if I do make something it likely will be an extension of this route, either from Portage up to La Crosse, or Milwaukee down to Chicago area. If you have any suggestions on other routes, I'd definitely look into them

@ThrillsN'Chills - wow, never thought someone from CP would see this. Thanks a lot, hope you had fun!
ThrillsN'Chills Aug 14, 2022 @ 5:00pm 
I work with CP and you've nailed it mate.

Fantastic Route! I hope you have more routes in the works with accurate symbols, had a ton of fun playing it.
