The Pacific & American Railroad is a Virtual Railroad that has its origins in the western part of the United States. Through expansion and trackage rights, we have added routes in the Eastern section of the U.S.A. and also in Canada, making for a truly International Railroad.

To facilitate operations the Pacific & American Railroad has been divided into seven divisions. Click on the Division name for more details:

• Kings Gate Division
• Belle Plaine Division
• Mojave Division
• Rocky Mountain Division
• Bluefield Division
• Canadian West Division
• Canadian East Division

The Pacific & American Railroad uses a combination of payware and freeware routes, purchased from 3DTrainStuff, 3DTrains, Maple Leaf Tracks, Diesels West , and Streamlines.

Whitefish 9, Hoodoo Pass, North Coast Railroad, Clinton, Tennessee Pass, Moffat Ver5, Colorado Joint Line, MacTier 1.5 Sub and now the Bluefield Division routes are freeware routes available at Train-Sim and here.

When you are accepted as an engineer here at the Pacific & American Railroad you will be asked to pick the Subdivision to which you would like to be assigned. Each Subdivision will have a dedicated call board listing all assigned personnel. You are free to request a transfer to another Subdivision 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 currently made up of four or five Subdivisions. You may run intra-divisional work orders that take you to the other Subdivision within your Division. You may also run inter-divisional work orders that take you to another Division and on to other Subdivisions. 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 Subdivision is your starting point, your favorite route, your favorite area, a personal preference.

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