East Metro Rebuild Announcement

All Aboard (i.e. maker of Canton, Cumberland and the Ohio Rail Upgrade) is excited to announce our latest addition to the abundance of routes available for MSTS with a remake of 'the old gal', the East Metro. Originally one of the early routes using default objects and released in September of 2001, the East Metro was simply a test route reaching a worldwide audience. It fell into obscurity and was soon forgotten with new techniques being the preferred method of building routes. An idea came to revitalize the East Metro last January and the results are now available for purchasing.

The East Metro Rebuilt includes 3 railroads (i.e. the EMMR, Lutherlex Corp and Krenshaw). The mainline of the route is approximately 25 miles in length with over 100 miles of track including mainline, yards, interchange, spurs and branchline) to serve over 29 industries including: Intermodal, textile, coal mines, coal prep, limestone, concrete, grain and lumber (including logging), plus many more. You also get 4 yards, 2 interchanges, 9 passenger pickup points as well as repair shed, facility and engine shed.

The premise of the East Metro is the EMRR is a bridgeline between two Class A's while having its own localized pickups. Large cities to smaller towns are represented in a very detailed route selectively compressed for reasonable run times. The route comes with 26 activities ranging from basic to advanced switching in addition to mainline runs.

The East Metro Rebuilt is a period route depicting life between 1980 and the early to mid 1990s. Seasonal changes are represented for Summer, Autumn and Winter but not for Spring or Nights.

In addition to the East Metro Rebuild route, additional supplemental material includes schematics by Don Hughes, and a 20 page manual as well as an auto-installer to facilitate ease of installation. Links to additional support files are done by pdf for fail-safe connecting.

The East Metro rolling stock by Dick Cowen features a new feature exclusive to East Metro Rebuilt. We call them reversible cabs. Because of this the East Metro Rebuilt route is void of any wyes. The reversible cab allows an engineer to turn around in his seat so as to run reverse without having to change to any outside views. The cab controls are visible to the engineer in both directions making switching more enjoyable and realistic. Most of the engines included have this exciting feature.

Like most of All Aboard routes, the East Metro Rebuild is designed with "anywhere USA" in mind. This means any of your favorite road names ran on the East Metro Rebuild route will look at home. With a very richly detailed route in the background, your favorite engines and rolling stock will look more realistic than ever.
