AransasPassTerminalRwySP2

This small, partly fictional route is based on the actual Aransas Harbor Terminal Railway, of which there were two (at different times), operating between the town of Aransas Pass, Texas and port facilities on nearby Harbor Island. Besides passengers, the railway carried granite blocks to the carfloat on Harbor Island for use in building jetties. It also carried cotton and other commodities to be loaded onto ships at the port and brought oil from the port to the mainland.

The route is configured for steam operations. It is set approximately in the 1920s and services several small industries, crosses numerous trestles over bays and channels, and even has a drawbridge.

I recommend using the 'Generic 0-6-0 no. 54' by Leeferr for motive power and the old-time rolling stock by Pencil42, which are available on the DLS. For a sample operating session, download my 'AransasSession1.'

Many thanks to all the freeware builders in the Trainz community, without whose generosity none of this would have been possible.
