Sweet Carolina

created by: chad608


Organized in 1873, the P&P was built to facilitate a connection between the Upstate of South Carolina and the vast Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. The line was originally built encompassing a line from Pleasantville to Thatcher until 1888 when the road built the line from Thatcher to Beaconsville. Until 1892, most of the railway's shares were bought out by the Richmond and Danville Railroad. Due to the consolidation of the railroads in 1894, the former P&P was officially taken over by the Southern Railway and its vast systems.Phase I of Sweet Carolina encompasses a little over 25 miles of the former P&P Mainline & Atlantic Coast Line of East Pleasantville.


Filmore County

created by: freethecheez


Hidden amongst the wheatfields and grain elevators of southern Minnesota country lies the Fillmore County Railroad. Operating on the remains of a Milwaukee Road branch line the railroad serves the towns of South Bay and Keane with a ragtag pair of diesels and a shoestring budget. Enjoy operating, exploring, and making your own story on the Fillmore County RR!

In the 1880s the Southern Railway billed the Asheville division as “The land of the sky” however the climb to this mountain haven promised by the Southern was never easy. In order to reach Asheville from the east trains must climb the grueling 9 miles of track known as the old fort loops. Now you can challenge yourself to climb the loops in Trainz 2019!
