For a little over a month now, I have been working on a new route in the Ohio area from New Philadelphia to Massillon. Lots
of industry, and I mean BIG industry abounds on this route. I have selected two lengthy spurs which head south from New Philly
to be included as well. Rough mileage estimate looks to be about 40 miles. Highlighting the route will be Massillon's Integrated
Steel Mill. The route offers multiple expansion route building so please keep your web browswers pointed to the soon and upcoming
New Philly webpage here at All Aboardrails.com. Because of the expansion potential this route offers, one to Canton's (Canton, OH that is)
steel mill and another a huge yard west of Massillon, releasing the route through Steam will probably not be likely. This may change
in time but this is due to technical reasons within the game of Railworks itself. Until the webpage is ready, please visit
the link below for more information.

can visit here.)

The second of the Highlights & Meets videos just cleared production and is ready for your sneek-peak! Just uploaded in this new movie
is more highlights from the Fort Kent Scenario Expansion Pack #41-#56. Just a fraction over five minutes long you'll see more AI train
action from this package. While the movie is aimed for All Aboard purchasers, purchasers of the Steam version will see a CN loco
pullin their trains instead of the UP loco. And after watching the movie, scroll on down just a tad where you can purchase the scenario
expansion package for $9.00. $9.00 gets you access to both versions of the scenarios but remember, you only get the CN loco if you purchase
the Steam version.

Wondering about those Fort Kent Expansion scenarios? Now you can have a sneak-peek of what's in store for you! Just uploaded is a new movie
featuring some of the highlights from the first few scenarios. Six minutes in length you're going to see some railroading featuring signals
and train meets you'll encounter. While the movie is aimed for All Aboard purchasers, purchasers of the Steam version will see a CN loco
pullin their trains instead of the UP loco. And after watching the movie, scroll on down just a tad where you can purchase the scenario
expansion package for $9.00. $9.00 gets you access to both versions of the scenarios but remember, you only get the CN loco if you purchase
the Steam version.

Important! An update for Railworks was just released and appears to have fixed an old problem. The unfortunate side-effect of the fix is a number of
the Fort Kent scenarios now suffer a broken-consists error which can be repaired with the update found on the Fort Kent page. This revised
set of the first 20 scenarios, of which half needed the fix, are available now and are very easy to install. This update is only for the All Aboard
version of Fort Kent. Those who purchased their version of the Fort Kent route from Steam should wait until their version is fixed via Steam (unless advised
differently.)
The expansion scenario set for Fort Kent was not effected by the Railworks update and continues to function normally. No patch/fix will be issued for either
the All Aboard or Steam version.
4/21/2010 Purchase of the Fort Kent To Eagle Lake expansion scenario set now includes a version for Steam users which makes
use of the CN SD40-2 included in the Steam version. One purchase, two versions. See news entry 4/09/2010 for more details on the scenario
contents.
4/16/2010 Please note that the planned expansion scenario pack using CN equipment for the Fort Kent To Eagle Lake route to
be sold on Steam is no longer in the works as was originally announced. However, the current version which is available now is perfectly
compatible with the Steam version of the Fort Kent To Eagle Lake route. Don't miss out and get these great scenarios now by visiting the Fort
Kent page via the link above.
4/09/2010 Available for purchasing is 16 new scenarios for the Fort Kent To Eagle Lake route. Make sure you have installed
the 1.7 version for best results. (To know if you have the 1.7 version of the route, look in the lower left hand of the loading screen and
above the title of the route you will see a 1.7.) Approximately 16 hours of new "fun" including AI train traffic which in some scenarios
interacts with you the player. At $9.00 (Paypal Only) don't miss this opportunity to increase your railroading experience on the Fort Kent
To Eagle Lake route from All Aboard. To learn more of this expansion pack, see the Fort Kent page and scroll down to the purchasing section.

Fort Kent To Eagle Lake version 1.7 is now available for downloading! This is the same version of the route which has been submitted
to RS.com for the Steam version. You only need to download the route again using your link and then use your supplied password to
extract the Railworks installation file. The manual is now included as part of the installation and has some significant changes added
to the schematics so your awareness of what to do is better supplemented and optimized for Railworks. You get to the manual by the
opening dialogue that shows you what's new for Railworks in the Tools & Docs tab. Look under English and click on the Fort Kent manual.
And as well, some significant changes have been made to the trackwork including manual switches added to the single spur industries along
the mainline for more realisitc operation. And the signals along the route have been beefed up to allow greater flexibility in adding
AI Traffic to the route though the original 20+ scenarios do not include AI Traffic. And the southside Fort Kent potato warehouse trackage
has been revised. Looks sweet, give it a good looking over as you head on down the tracks. The revisions are worth downloading the route
again so find that receipt (you better have it the route's only been out two weeks!). I recomend uninstalling the previous version and then
installing the new version. Yes, the zip filename is still the same but the version inside is the new version.
