About This Content Route includes 4 Sessions."The Canadian Pacific Railway Mountain Sub itself ( Rogers Pass being a separate subsection ) stretches over 300 km East-West. Starting at Ottertail just SE of Field. This takes more than 10+ hours non-stop driving obeying rules and signals and negotiating grades and the trip ends East of Three Valley Lake! This part of the CPR posed tremendous engineering challenges to the 19th-century builders. Standing out are the passages through the Kicking Horse Canyon ( see Kicking Horse Canyon Trainz route ) and across the Rogers Pass.The descent from Kicking Horse Pass towards the Columbia River at Golden meant that the railway had to be hacked and blasted out of the sheer cliffs of the canyon of the Kicking Horse River. Passage of the Selkirk Mountains across Rogers Pass was an even greater challenge and the original route carried the railway through the pass, not beneath it through tunnels. Rogers Pass is one of those subsections that will submerge you in sheer beauty and awe regarding landscape and railways - the Rocky Mountains at its majestic best!Our route stretches 33km from South Portal to MacDonald Tunnel East, emerging 12km later, then continuing on 63km to Revelstoke. Take a side tour there to investigate the Powder Hill Ski Gondola (past the Airport) or the Revelstoke Canyon Dam (5km to the North). After crossing the Columbia River the mainline continues roughly parallel to the Trans Canada Highway 15km further to South West portal. Driving long haul consists over the mountain passes and famous tunnels like McDonald and Connaught will take all your attention to make it a safe and enjoable trip.Imagine the railway climbing even higher from Stoney Creek siding onwards, then following the narrow canyon where now the Trans-Canada Highway runs with its extensive snow sheds. On the western side of the pass the railway descended with loops through side-valleys, only to rejoin the current tracks just west of Glacier siding.History of the Rogers Pass Tunnels:The high cost of pusher engines and snow clearing made tunnelling inevitable, resulting at first in the Connaught Tunnel.The capacity of the single-track railway had grown insufficient by the 1970s, at which time then-prime minister Pierre Trudeau was heard to remark: Well, why don't they double-track it then? Why not indeed, and so over the next 20 years the MacDonald Tunnel and its eastern approaches were built,which increased the capacity of the railway from about 12 to 18 trains per day in each direction. That is not counting stoppages due to snow and rock slides. Those sizable yards at Revelstoke, Ross Peak and, especially, Golden (see Columbia River Basin subsection and or Kicking Horse Canyon subsection) are indicative of the need for waiting tracks while snow and debris is being cleared.With this route, a number of superb related sessions created by Hkoster1 highlight the capacity of the railway under ideal conditions, using either one or both of the tunnels. These sessions come both in automatic and dispatcher options. 1075eedd30 Title: TANE DLC: Canadian Rocky Mountains - Rogers PassGenre: SimulationDeveloper:N3V GamesPublisher:N3V GamesRelease Date: 3 May, 2017 TANE DLC: Canadian Rocky Mountains - Rogers Pass Download Easy Literally the worst $40.00 purchase I've ever made- route is incomplete, missing vast quantities of assets, including track which you can place trains on and drive, but is completely invisible. Absolutely disappointed that a +500Mb, $40.00 payware download comes with invisible track and missing assets to the point of being unusable. Then, upon trying to uninstall and re-download this DLC, I am completely unable to do that, instead being granted the option to purchase the DLC all over again. I will not be supporting any future products from N3V games. I have been a devout player of Trainz since TRS2004, and have been putting up with increasingly-buggy maps, assets, and now expensive payware. Don't waste your money or your time on this developer. They are a joke. An expensive one that will leave you searching for missing KUIDs for hours so that you can slowly piece their payware together to actually get maybe 5 minutes of enjoyment on until another blank texture has you searching an independent site for what the 20-digit KUID translates to in English, then hunting for it on the "free" download station. Free is in quotations because you get ultra-slow download speeds unless you buy a "first-class ticket" for 3-bucks a pop that gives you two days of high speed downloading. Such a blatant cash-grab for everything in this game. Save your money and dust off your old Windows 2000 machine with Microsoft Train Simulator for a more enjoyable way to play with trains. Absolute joke, and for that, this company will not get another dime from me.. You just gotta love it! It has so many things to look at and so many cool trains.
