About: The Iroquois Prairielands route features the bidirectional, double mainline, CTC controlled Illinois Central main line as it appeared in the 1940s between Otto, IL and Gilman, IL (about 25 miles) in northern Iroquois County. At the peak of wartime traffic, it was the busiest section of track on the Illinois Central system. With few curves and gentle hills, this section of track saw high speed passenger and freight service. As part of the IC Chicago Subdivision, the main line also connects to the Bloomington Subdivision to Bloomington, IL at Otto, IL, and the Gilman Line to St. Louis, MO at Gilman, IL. The line was later reduced to a single bidirectional track in the 1980s, and continues to be used by Canadian National Railroad after their absorption of the Illinois Central Railroad in 1999.
Current Features: The towns of Otto, IL and Chebanse, IL at the north end of the line have been completely finished. Clifton, IL is nearly finished, and is on the verge of being connected to Chebanse with rural scenery. Ashkum, IL and its interlocking have been built out and labeled, and some trackside structures have also been placed. Danforth, IL has no scenery as of yet, and Gilman, IL has some of its trackside structures placed. The entire route's trackage has been built and signaled for the most part. Custom signage modeled by yours truly will also be added towards the end of the route building phase. This route is still a work-in-progress and is unfinished. It should be used for testing only, and should not be distributed.
Installation: Simply unzip the .zip folder and place it in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RailWorks\Content\Routes. You must have all the required assets, or the route will not load properly.
