Re: (erielack) track schematics west of Marion

George and List,

     Train Dispatcher 3 that Easy Haas is working on is a different program 
(http://www.signalcc.com).  Currently there is no "dispatching" add-on for 
MSTS (Microsoft Train Simulator).   Train Dispatcher 3 is a very nice 
program.  I do own version 2.  Has some free downloads of EL and DLW 
trackage.  Fun if you would like to learn more about the trains or 
operations of a railroad.  Tells you what the dispatchers have to do as a 
regular job every day.  Most of the information that you need for Train 
Dispatcher 3 is available from a timetable (speed limits, connections, etc). 
  Most of the information for MSTS that is helpful would be full track 
diagrams (including industrial sidings, spurs, etc).  I am specifically 
working on a MSTS route for the EL.  It is the First Subdivision of the 
Mahoning Division.  This is the line to Cleveland Ohio.  I have talked to a 
few people that have been tremendously helpful in giving me information on 
this line.   I would be more than willing to hear anything else about this 
line or if anyone has photos of the line (fyi, I have checked George's 
site).  If anyone has helpful data please let me know.  I have done my own 
observations of the line from the Ore Docks to Leavittsburg.  I am working 
with a fellow list member on this line.
