Pacific & American Railroad - Only the Seriously Qualified Engineers Need Apply
Divisional HQ

The Pacific & American Railroad is a western road that runs from San Bernardino on the southern terminus northwards to a connection with GL&A at King's Gate. The Pacific & American Railroad also has westbound connections to vNERR’s Death Valley & Western at Barstow, vNERR’s Cascade & Northwestern at Whitefish and vNERR's Bison Rail at Clinton.

To facilitate operations the Pacific & American Railroad has been divided into three divisions. They are the:

  • Kings Gate Division
  • Belle Plaine Division
  • Mojave Division

Each division has been further divided into sub-divisions as follows:

The Pacific & American Railroad uses a combination of pay ware and free ware routes. Tehachapi Pass II and Cajon Pass can both be purchased from 3D TrainStuff. Cascades Crossing is available at Maple Leaf Tracks.

Whitefish 5, Hoodoo Pass, North Coast Railroad and Clinton Sub are free ware routes whose authors have generously allowed us to make them available for download here.

When you are accepted as an engineer here at the Pacific & American Railroad you will be asked to pick the Sub-Division to which you would like to be assigned. Each Sub-Division will have a dedicated call board listing all assigned personnel. You are free to request a transfer to another Sub-Division at any time after completing your probation period. Please Note: We will not be changing you on a whim. A good reason will be required.

Each Division is made up of two or three Sub-Divisions. You may run intra-divisional work orders that take you to the other Sub-Division within your Division. You may also run inter-divisional work orders that take you to another Division and on to other Sub-Divisions. Until you complete a work order that returns you to your home division you will be listed on Temporarily Assigned Duty (TAD). The Crew Callboard will keep track of your current location based on the last time slip that you filed. Simply speaking, your Home Sub-Division is your starting point, your favorite route, your favorite area, a personal preference.

Divisions and Sub-Divisions are used to retain the real world flavor of our operation. By assigning engineers a Home Sub-Division we hope that they will develop a Divisional Pride that will motivate them in inter-divisional challenges and competitions.

The Crew Callboard and PATS will keep track of everything and the data will be displayed for all individuals and divisions.
