| | Welcome to the CV Division of the L&N;, or as we know it, the Cumberland
route. All Aboard is proud to bring you this railroad line which runs from
Harlan-Loyall to Benham-Lynch in southeast Kentucky. Approximately thirty miles
long, you will drive trains along the valley floor between two mountain ranges
and the Poor Fork River. While the route life span was pretty significant, we've
narrowed the route time frame to focus in on the 1950's to mid to late 1960's.
But our route representation includes industries from eras past. This
presentation is great for running steam or diesel locomotives, or side by side.
Cumberland, like my previous routes is very detailed with a depth of scenery and
dense object placement which makes this route a beautiful route to run. I should
warn you though that this route is not for the elder computer which hasn't been
updated for a long time. My recommendation is that you have at least a 2 ghz
processor and even 1 gig of RAM. With that said the route results so far have
been good with those with lesser.
Once again we graciously thank Dick Cowen for allowing the route to be packaged
along with Dick Cowen's L&N; rollingstock. These packages provided to you at no
extra fee are free for anyone to download and consist of a large variety of L&N;
steam and diesel locomotives as well as freight and passenger equipment.
To round out this offering is 15 activities including both steam and diesel as
its own separate download. Included is a template activity which allows you to
create your own activities very easily. Within the route package is Don Hughe's
innovative, detailed route schematics. And within the Cumberland route manual
which like the schematics is provided within the route package, is numberous
helpful bits of information to make activity navigation and creation a breeze.
What the route includes is seasonal textures for all seasons with Summer, Fall
and Winter the primary focus. Night textures and people are not included. While
you will recognize most of the structures from Canton over 185 new models
enhance this route with a number of the Canton buildings modified to look better
than ever.
If you like mountain routes, you will love Cumberland! A grand effort was made
for the route to have that mountain look. And with a wide diversity of industry
included, Cumberland will keep you busy for a long time. But don't worry the
route is too long to know. Cumberland is just the right size where you can
finish most activities within the hour.
If you love mountains, railroading, diesel or steam locomotives, coal hauling,
