NEW! Lone Pine Branch - Trona Railway
The UP\SP Lone Pine Branch starts at the Main 2 Switch just north of Mojave Yard, heading northeast across Highway 14. This branch originally ran for about 150 miles to Lone Pine, CA. In the early 1980's, the Southern Pacific Railroad filed for abandonment of roughly 100 miles from Searles, CA, to Lone Pine. Since then, this branch is only about 50 miles in length, running between Mojave Yard and Searles Yard. Between Mojave and Searles, there are a few industries served at Chaffee, Cantil & Saltdale.
The Trona Railway operates between Searles Yard and the town of Trona, CA, roughly 30 miles in length. Searles Yard is used as an interchange between the UP\SP Railroad and the Trona Railway. This line serves three mineral mining operations that operate next to Searles Lake (a dry lakebed) near the towns of Trona and Argus, CA. The current parent-company owns all three of these operations along with the Trona Railway and its tracks & equipment.

And
for you folks still sitting on the fence on whether
to try Run8 or not, we have something to share
with you. We showed Run 8 to folks out at Barstow,CA
at the Barstow Rail Festival a couple of years
ago and we had a Trainmaster from a Class 1 railroad
come in and check out Run 8, John Greenstone spent
45 minutes with the guy, and he was very impressed
with what we had done so far and before leaving
he told John that Run 8 was much better than the
program(s) that they were using to train their
own engineers! Now how cool is that!
And now
with well over 50,000,000 Run 8 multi-player sessions
operated since August 2012 Run8 with it's superior
physics and operational capabilities continues
to be the #1 Train Simulator of choice
by real railroaders and hard core train sim enthusiasts
world wide!
