I had heard someone did the S-Line, but have never been able to find it anywhere.
What routes do you wish were available?

I think I screwed up the paths I made, but that is fixable. To show you there is actually the S-Line Rte, two screenshots -- The Loops and Asheville. Click on image for full size.

For anyone not familiar with the S-Line, it was originally the Southern, ran from Spencer Yd to Asheville (east to West) in North Carolina. Asheville is about the pass that separates the coastal watershed with the Mississippi Watershed (via Knoxville TN). A LOT of coal moved east, a lot of furniture moved west. In the middle of the rte is the interchange with the Clinchfield (owned by the ACL in the era I enjoy).
On my copy I added 10km of near terrain on both sides of the ROW and another, ummm, 50km?? of distant Mtn after that and having done that for North Carolina, extended the terrain at the same amount between Asheville and near Knoxville TN. The descent from Asheville into Tennessee is mostly a long twisty canyon. There is a SRR branchline that served a number of coal mines.
