...the Hoosier Line is a transportation link fondly remembered by the residents of Indiana. Does the cultural history of this railroad shine in Microsoft Train Simulator? We'll find out in this review...at the railyard!

Very well done. Loved the music from the "Man from M.O.N.O.N."!

One thing I missed tho is the nature of those activities you mentioned... lots of great roll-by's but what else can one do?

Activities include passenger runs, freight point-to-point, road switching, yard switching, interchange...just about everything you could imagine.

This is a very good video!

Unfortunately there is noting new since May 2014 and there are only two new activities at trainsim.com with a lot of necessary download.
I hope there will be more in the future because I like Monon-2 very much.

Rick has started that this was his final version of the Monon. He has put many, many years of his life into this project and deserves time to persue some enjoyment of his own.

Great inclusion of the historical clips in the review, Nick. Great review as always.

Having the previous variants not including the latest download yet. I can attest that this route is a gigantic route in all ways. It's got lots of miles to run around in. And is even a possible contender to the PRR-E in terms of tracks miles. You can literally spend an entire day just driving in this route. That is if you have an activity that would visit all the places in the mainline.

If you like to spend hours on end just exploring the route. I can tell you it's a joy to run. You'll even find a UFO in there. As one may have seen when I did my photo feature of this route years ago in TrainSim.com.
