I've uploaded a set of 30 activities for my FJ&Gv2 route for the fall of 1979. They took me over 150 hours to run.

I've also uploaded two other files that go with the activities. In the fall of 1979 two CACV work cars were sent to the FJ&G to be shopped, and the Delaware Otsego System bought Roberval and Saguenay 31. It was sent to the FJ&G to be shopped, painted, and lettered as LASB 103. 103 was then assigned to the FJ&G to start replacing the two aging S-2s.

You're welcome Dano,

I screwed up on the November 1st activity, but it should be a bit obvious that the pattern in Johnstown for every activity is whatever cars get lifted and left in front of the freight house to be picked up on the return trip.

If you start the activities on October 1st and work through them they are consecutive day to day. whatever cars you spot one day will be there then next.

Paul :-)

Hello, Paul.
I suppose, that's a great idea. Never seen that before.
But may I know, do You duplicate this route, stock and activity pack on TS.com?
If yes, it could be possible to recommend that to non-ET members.

Yes, Everything is on Trainsim including the route. Like you said, there are people out there who wouldn't be able to download it from here unless they joined, and even then, it might take months for them to get library privileges.

Indeed.
But I impressed a lot with an idea of Continious plot of railroad working, which covers a month-long period.
So I believe, there might be many trainsimmers, who would appreciate such exciting thing on beautiful route during golden-autumn time.

Following Damian (professional train-driver, by the way), I am saying: thank You for these great efforts.

I'd love to see a customer/car pool based activity generator that goes from one day to the next built into Open Rails. When I do it manually I have Route Editor, two Microsoft Excel pages, and Notepad open and it takes about two hours per session to set up (hence the off spelling error or other mistakes). A bit of a juggling act that would take a computer a few seconds to generate.
