Carlisle 1957

Description

Covering the full 24 hour day, this is set in the summer of 1957. Diesels have begun to make their mark on local services and in the yards, but most traffic is still powered by steam. Both weekday and Saturday schedules are provided; effectively this gives you two very different simulations. Passenger services often require an engine change at Citadel station, and some will need a pilot over Shap or Beattock bank. Freights serve several local yards, with a lot of trip working, as this was before the development of the Kingmoor yards. You have three sheds to manage: Upperby (12A), Kingmoor (68A), and Canal (68E); in addition, motive power off the Settle & Carlisle and Tyne Valley lines often has to be serviced in what is left of the former depots at Petteril Bridge and London Road. Bonus points are available for allocation of locos of the correct type and depot, and for correct placement of incoming freight.
