I added the Amtrak stations at Roseville and Colfax for the California Zephyr. Is not 100% accurate, but at least there's a train station for passenger service.

WOW! The rework on the rail line and the scenery adds so much more to this route. The colors are great and makes the route less bland looking.

I think you re-did the signaling as well because it sure seems more comprehensive and less cluttered.

Never mind, I figured it out: there was a conflict between my regular Donner Pass which I had upgraded with the Overhauled 2.0 patch (and which uses AP weather) and Donner Redux, which uses the same Assets folder but is not configured for AP weather. Hence I was just getting wire outlines rather than the whole enchilada.

To set matters right, I then imported a host of scenarios for regular Donner, including all of my High Iron Scenarios and converted them for Donner Redux, and they all are - so far - working a treat.

I love what you've done to this old route, and your supplied QD scenarios work just fine. But the vast bulk of the standard scenarios only appear as if they were a black and white negative from the old film days. The only color is the signals!

You can actually play the scenario - it loads and runs just fine, and you can make out your loco outlined in white with puffs of white smoke coming out of the stack. The lineside telephone lines are clearly there in white as well, but not the tracks or buildings or just about anything else.

Does anyone have any ideas? This is the only route I've ever experienced this on, and it's a shame because as I said your re-working of the route brings it back to life.

Cajon Pass is basically a built in route. Kuju RailsimulatorUS and RSC Cajon Pass entries should already be in your directory. They were there back in the 2013 edition when I started out in Train Sim. Unless there's some special European version I am not aware of.

Here is a list of workshop scenarios for the route.

I love this route! I've been using it instead of the original. I wanted to start the eastbound quick drive scenario at Roseville with the California Zephyr. So, I added a platform and a station building at the approximate location. However, it doesn't let me place a player spawn point. I left mouse click near the track and nothing happens. Has this capability been blocked? Is anybody having the same issue? Help is very much appreciated, thanks!!!

i have all of the dlc for this map but i cant open it because it says i dont have the dlcs. any help?

great job

how do i play on the redux?

"will it overwrite the purchased donner pass route?"
No it will not. This is a separate route base on the original.
A person can actually copy the Scenery, Mixmap, Terrain and Networks folders from this route, into the original Donner Pass Southern Pacific folder to get the scenery there as well.
If someone attempts this, don't try to stuff the folders into the .ap folder, just copy them into the Donner Pass Southern Pacific folder.

will it overwrite the purchased donner pass route?

Yes, Cajon Pass is used for some of the scenarios as well as scenery items.

do we HAVE tto have cajon pass

Oh thank you :)

You can go from Roseville to Sparks in Quick Drive.

Awesome route, but can you make it possible to go from Roseville to Reno in free drive?

You're welcome and thanks jiggywatt.

Great route thanks!!!!

No back dating. The time period would be approx 1980s.

OMG OMG OMG!!! I think I may move my Oil Shortage scenarios to this!

Your Welcome... Great Route Redux!

Thanks Railworks Help Desk.

Feel Free To Tweak The Scenerio's I Made For Donner Redux And Re-Upload Them If You Want.

Great Work. This Route Is Great!

Unless you also downloaded my first standard scenario for it, you should find it under Quick Drive. It was originally supplied with Quick Drive scenarios.

Looks awesome, but for some reason when I hit subscribe to download it I don't see it in my routes.

Why thank you... I think I might know bbaxter. LOL. He doesn't want to admit he thinks I'm a nice guy in public. LOL

Very nice job. Just D/L and ran the workshop version. This is a real piece of work. What started out as a terrible route after the re-do by DTG made into a nice route. This steamshop version makes Donner a great route. My compliments to the author.

No Reno Junction. I found out they didn't use that much. There are a couple of really tight radius curves there that caused some derailments. The right of way that it follows was originally a narrow gauge line.

did you put in Reno Junction? Reno Junction is where the WP interchanges with SP steam locomotives and stack trains take the Feather Canyon to avoid tunnel clearences and suffacation in the tunnels of Donner Pass.

I didn't even think to do before and after screen shots. It's radically different though. I'll have to see what I can dig up in the next couple of days. Some areas were changed so much, a person would have to look at the location data in the screen shots to figure out what is before and after. I can guarantee if a person has driven the original first they would see a huge difference, especially between Colfax and Sparks, but even between Colfax and Roseville has had a lot of work put into it.
This does not have the Reno Trench, it's from the 70s through 80s in era.

No before and after screens?

would this have the train trench in Reno?

wow nice collection.

Now i can run amtrash p42 ph5

@geomodelrailroader, the real Donner Pass during this time frame, only fit single stacks in most tunnels. They had to slowly enlarge tunnels over the years to fit double stacks.

looks good I hope you redone the tunnels I have Gtrex cars and they won't fit in the tunnels.

You are all welcome. As far as money, Right now I just look at it as virtual railway modeling. LOL

I think it is fantastic that you and others are generously investing your time to make TS great for the benefit of all. I am at a point in my career and family that I couldn't pull it off. However, I believe there are other ways to provide support. For example, i buy scenario packs that I am mildly interested in to infuse some revenue into the business. I thought it would be kind of cool to provde a little $$$ for a great route or a series of great scenarios i.e. through Google Wallet. Not sure how you could pull it off without exposing private info such as email address Thoughts?

nice

Could anyone volunteer to do a modernized version of this route? Including crossings with red (not amber) flashing lights and Darth Vader signals?

Buddy I can't thank you enough for this, seems like the players should be the ones running the show. Sad how DTG don't at least thank or give credit to their loyal players that take the time to do this. Simply brilliant!

No, I think you are quite correct. It may not be possible to publish updates to existing DTG Routes.

Thanks for the link to RWA. Now I can choose if I want to apply the update or keep the separate version.

Well Done.

Many thanks for this update. Must have been a huge amount of work!
After subscribing your update was installed as a completely new route, rather than as an 'update' to the original Donner Pass. Is this what you intended?

Cheers, and thanks again.

It's not modernized, so no. I did use a couple of signals from U.S. Loco and Asset pack to fix a couple areas.

Does this include the Darth Vader signals?
