Description
So while I haven't played a lot of TANE lately, I decided to share a little sneak peak at a new mini project that is going to be just a little scene and nothing more for now. It's called the Brindleton Bay Logging Railroad Company. It's suppose to be set in my version of the Sims 4 map Brindleton Bay in New England in the modern times of course, with the railroad having diesels and steam engines (obviously), hauling log trains, general freight, passenger and excursion trains. This is gonna be interesting since I've never done anything set in New England and I hope it goes well in the end. While I may not be reskinning tons of stuff for this railroad, I already have the logo made, a few engines ready to be relettered and possibly other stuff. The EGRR takes high priority still though.Game used: Trainz: A New Era.

When Former Southern Railway 2-8-0 number 50 was restored by the Eagle River Railway in 1998, it was the only steam locomotive in operation on the railroad, hauling
public relations excursion trains from Beaver Cove up to Camp 'B' high on the Northwestern hills.
For twenty years, the success of the EGRR's excursion business slowly overwhelmed to the absolute limit that one day, it was decided that number 50 may come to the
very point she could break down or struggle up the 2 to 3% grades over the entire line and back.
In order to ensure the controlled tourism for more excursions, the EGRR found and bought another steam locomotive, this time from the Norfolk & Western railway.
The locomotive was number 70, originally numbered as 429, a 4-8-0 class 'M' that was hidden away for a number of years since it's retirement in late 1959.
At the distinction of being in exceptionally good condition indoors from the elements, the N&W 'Mastodon' was found by one of the Eagle River Railway employees who
find the locomotive perfect enough to handle the steep grades for hauling the overwhelming passenger trains.
Once she was transferred from Coalwood, West Virginia in early 2016 to the Eagle River Railway at the Northwest region, it took exactly three years for the 429 to be restored
into operating condition, renumbered as 'Number 70'.
With the railroad's expanded excursion service, number 70 now shares with number 50 pulling a all-new "Sightseers Special" train, as well as occasional freight trains at
times of total need.
