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:
- Kings Gate Division
- Whitefish Sub-Division (Whitefish 5 Route)
- Cascades Sub-Division (Cascades Crossing Route)
- Belle Plaine Division
- Hoodoo Sub-Division (NERR’s Hoodoo Pass Route)
- Clinton Sub-Division (Clinton Sub Route)
- North Coast Sub-Division (North Coast Route ver 2)
- Mojave Division
- Tehachapi Sub-Division (Tehachapi Pass II Route)
- Cajon
Sub-Division (Cajon
Pass Route)
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.
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.
