File Name: The Bridgton & Saco River Railroad for ORTS
File Submitter: Sandy River Tom

File Category: Routes

The Bridgton & Saco River is a 20-mile-long, 2-Foot Narrow Gauge Railroad, that served the businesses and residents of Cumberland County in southern Maine from 1883 to 1940. It interchanged with the Maine Central Railroad in the town of Hiram and ran east and north along Sebago Lake and Long Lake to the towns of Bridgton and Harrison.
The Bridgton & Saco River Railroad for ORTS was originally built by Christian Schroeder, following the release of his 2-Foot-Gauge “Monson Railroad”. When life responsibilities took up most of his Train Simming time, he “gifted” the B&SR Route to me to finish and release. As additional information, maps, and photos were discovered, I have modified the Route to try to match the best data that is available. The locomotives and rolling stock were built from the published drawings and photos. Passenger Activities are based on actual 1924 train schedules. Freight operations are a “best guess” by myself and Beta Tester Herb Kelsey based on the need to fit Southbound and Northbound Freights into the passenger train schedule.
Download and unzip the “B&SR Installation & Documentation” file, follow the Installation instructions, read the Documentation and operate on the B&SR Railroad as you are transported back 100 years to “downeast” Maine in the 1920s.
For any questions or feedback, contact “Sandy River Tom” via a PM at Elvas Tower.

Thank you Tom for a nice historic route, for your efforts for gifting it to us.
How did you fit that to 640.93 kB installer?

Having a little trouble downloading the global files, goes to a page saying it's powered by sendspace and no download begins. The other three are working fine. Dunno if it's just me or something else.

EDIT: (7:06 PM EDT) The route seems relatively functional when installed alongside the Monson Railroad without the Global download, but with some missing items. Will do some more test runs.

Hello All

There was a typo in the original Route Posting.
The Download link for the GLOBAL Files should be: https://www.sendspac...m/pro/dl/nwoimq
I initially read the "q" as a "g"

I will be reposting a corrected version in the Downloads library today.
