Sticks and Stones

BNSF ever-so-rarely runs baretable trains both up and down the Feather River Canyon, and on a very poor February day you've landed yourself a shift on symbol BOIGSEA, which takes empty wellcars from the Port of Oakland to Seattle. It's pouring rain, and snow is on the forecast in the upper parts of the canyon, which isn't ever a good combination on this beautiful route.

Part one takes you from Oroville to Pulga, and is 90 minutes long, easy.
Part two completes the trip up to the BNSF crew change point just north of Keddie, and is 120 minutes long, medium.

Signalling is completly screwed, some may remember a few screenshots I showed a few months ago which are in this scenario. As usual, listen to the dispatcher, they tell you everything you need to know.

As I just mentioned, these scenarios are pretty old, part one was done in January, and part two was almost done when Pipestone released, which made me run that 1000x times before coming back here. Thus, the orignal player consist was a duo of Dash 9s, which is what the video of the player train had on it. Obviosuly, the SPS ACe dropped last week, and I had to use that. BNSF ACe's don't run on baretables super often, but I found a few recordings of it happening so I swapped it in.

The scenario is names "Sticks and Stones" for a reason, those who know the canyon well might already know what this implies, if not, well, play the scenario and you'll find out.

As usual, payware requirements are linked below, all freeware requirements are linked in the manuel, as is more prototype and scenario info.
