Longhood Backward and Longhood Forward

On a summer day in 2014, take UP symbol LRC60 on its entire run on the UP Canyon Sub in two parts. This train ran as a turn from Portola to Quincy Junction and back, interchanging loads with the Quincy Railroad and dealing with any other traffic along the way. Your power for today is a single SD40N--which means that for one leg of the trip, you will be operating longhood forward.

Part 1 is 100 minutes and covers getting together your consist in Portola and the run to Quincy Junction, as well as interchanging with the Quincy.

Part 2 is 120 minutes and covers the return trip from Quincy Junction to Portola, including some work in-route and tying up in Portola.

(Almost) All of the switching in this scenario is unscripted, which means that you can switch your cars in any way you like. Both times there are switching commands, they are essential to making the scenarios completable, and are already unavoidable actions you would do regardless.

See readme for more prototype info and some vital information on the scenario (largely regarding signalling, which is...uh....borked, to say the least)

Payware requirements are linked below, the rest are all freeware and are linked in the readme.

If you come across any problems, please reach out either in the comments section or in the TSC Discord (@unreliable_narrator)

The scenarios aren't showing in the route. You amy want to recheck how you packaged them.

Agreed, Needs a "9a349d2f-90db-4c1e-8f24-c200d222d58c" folder in between Route and Scenarios folder so its placed in the UP Sub folder

Thanks for the reply. I was able to figure it out and get the scenarios in the correct folder. For some reason the SD70s from CSM aren't showing. I only get the couplers and nothing else. What did you do to get them to show? The install. bat isn't working as it should. I've emailed them more than once and no one seems to be home.

Just reuploaded fixed folder now, that should be sorted out shortly. As for the CSM SD70s, I have a similar issue, but only on the units with a yellow sill stripe, and have no idea how to fix it. Hence in the scenario I used the red striped ones even though they should be gone by this time. Just curious, what do your yellow sill stripe units do?

I'm not sure which is which or which one to select. I switched them out with unit I know that work. Still waiting on a reply from. CSM. I may take another look at the units when I get in from the job tonight. For now I can't get them to show in an activity. I can only see the couplers.

The -CSM-UP_SD70M_Install.exe dosent copy over. Where done it go?

It should go into the base "assets" folder and be run from there. Seeing as others are also having issues with the CSM units, I might swap them out for something else when I find the time.

Hmm. I had no issues with the SP version. I'll give it a try and see what happens. I'd already swapped out the units. But I'm willing to go the extra mile this time, lol. Running the install.bat within the Asset folder didn't work for me at all. What files need to be copied over? I may be able to do it manually.

I think the only files that need to be copied over are the engine and cabview geo files. The installer should have installed everything minus those two correctly.

What SD70 unit should the engine file come from?

there's a missing marker where you go to drop the SD70 off as the start. or at least i get the error for it.

The flared units files come from Sherman Hill. Non-flared units files come from the SP SD70M dlc. The installer should have installed the correct files to the respective DLC folder (flared units are in the Serman folder and non-flared units are in the SP SD70M folder). For these scenarios I only used the flared SD70, so to get it to work you only need to get the Sherman Hill ones working.

As for the marker, no idea there, working on my end.
