Chicago Goose Island and North Side Switching Beta V1.1

Based on a real urban terminal railroad in Chicago. See Readme file for more info.

This is a WIP but it's getting there. You will find a few flaws here and there. The included scenarios are not complete so you will probably mostly have to play around on your own in the editor. Have fun!

Requirements

I know there is a pretty heavy amount of required assets. I tried to keep them as minimal as I could, but I am really trying to pour as much detail into this route as I can and I've had to pull assets from many different packages to make that happen. I may attempt to minimize some of these in the future but this is how it is for now. Sorry ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Payware:
-Chicago Racetrack
-Marias Pass
-Penn Coal
-VNHRR (Montana Hi Line)
-Penisula Corridor San Francisco to Gilroy
-North Jersey Coast (pretty much optional. I only used a few decals from this route)

Freeware:
-3D Trains ScaleRail and Urban Landscapes (trying to figure out where I might have put some of these assests since the majority of the trackage comes from The Racetrack. However, I know I was experimenting with some modified ScaleRail tracks and can't remember where I may have placed them. Not having this may result in missing track in one or two small places.)
*Well, looks like their website is down as of April 2022. If you don't have ScaleRail, I don't think it will be too much of an issue.

Additional Comments

Make sure you have this pack! A few of the original testers wrote to me saying that the tracks were missing in the street running parts of the route. 100% of the time, it was because they didn't have this.
