Welcome to the Austin Western Railroad route by Shortfuse.
Route Info
The Austin Western Railroad (AWRR) operates 155 miles of track from Llano, TX to Giddings, TX with a 6.4 mile branch extending from Fairland to Marble Falls, TX.
The line dates back to 1871 when the Houston and Texas Central Railroad built the Giddings to Austin line. The AWRR interchanges with the UP at McNeil and Elgin. Nearly 49,000 carloads move annually, shipping commodities such as aggregates, crushed limestone, calcium bicarbonate, lumber beer, chemicals, plastics and paper.
In March of 2010 the City of Austin began commuter operations, sharing the rail with the freight.
This route is a prototypical, DEM based route depicting the East Subdivision of the Austin Western Railroad. The East Subdivision runs from the "Y" in East Austin to Butler Materials, approximately 5 miles East of Elgin. The route includes approximately 1 mile of trackage West of the "Y" which leads into Downtown Austin. This track is primarily used by the Metrorail commuter train.
This route was built in '09 and tested in '09 and 2010. Most of the dependencies can be found on the DLS, or by doing a Google search. If there are any dependencies that cannot be found please visit the forums.
Thanks to CN-NorthwestBC for making the milepost meshes, also to Gisa and RI4321 for Beta testing this route for me.
A special thanks goes out to Bob Currie, an engineer/conductor with the AWRR who supplied me with timetables and valuable information about the route. Without his help this project would have not been possible.
