The next route from All Aboard is the route pictured below, the A&O Sub from Fort Smith Ark. to Heavner. Approximately 50 miles in length it's a neat route with plenty of grades
persistently changing length of the route. Fort Smith is actually a subdivision of the total run which extends from Heavner to Springdale. I'm modeling the southern half but I
am interested in modeling the full run eventually. The action of the route can be described as follows. Most of the activity happens at the ends of the route with a lengthy run
inbetween. This route should be great for those who love switching and extended mainline runs.
The A&M is known for its use of Alcos but with the shortage of rollingstock for Railworks the likelihood will be that the default UP equipment will be used for scenarios. At
this point in development the route is DEM'd and most of the track is in position. Scenery placement should begin just after Christmas and I will progress in the direction from
Heavner to Fort Smith. New buildings, terrain textures and vegetation is planned for the route. The only major deviation from the prototype thus far in the making of the A&O Sub
is that I extended the double-track portion of the A&O Sub to include as much of the total run to Fort Smith as possible so AI trains could be included in the accompanying
scenarios. The table below shows the GoogleEarth picture marking the track route and the picture to its right is the current 'laid track' progress in Railworks.
