Shasta Splitter

Due to several past stringline derailments (which still happen fairly regularly), Union Pacific employs a maximum trailing tonnage limit of 5,200 tons on Northbound trains between Dunsmuir and Azalea. Any train over this limit is split into two, with a helper set taking the second part northward, usually as far as Black Butte, where the two halves are recombined. Today, MWCEU has just arrived in Dunsmuir weighing in at over 9,000 trailing tons, meaning it will split into two. You are on board the helper set and will be coupling to the dropped half and following the front half northward to Black Butte, where you will cut off and return light down the hill to Dunsmuir.

This scenario should take around 2 and a half hours, and is very easy.

There are a few broken signals; the readme lists them and there will be a note in the scenario itself whenever you are approaching one.

As usual an AP cloudscape has been selected, if you don't have the cloud pack/sky and enhancement pack you will see the default weather (This is a partial sunset scenario, so without AP weather the sky will look like crap)

All payware requirements are linked down below, all freeware requirements are linked in the manual, as is more prototype and scenario information.
