Western Pacific Train #139 - Seattle to Oakland Manifest

In the 70's and 80's Western Pacific and Burlington Northern ran a jointly operated manifest train from Seattle, WA to Oakland, CA. Today you are tasked with bringing your 60 car train to Oroville over the Canyon Subdivision. The timetable states that you are to arrive at Oroville by 8:10, however things don't always go as planned so be ready.

Difficulty: Hard (signals + a very heavy train)
Time: 3.5 Hours.

Notes:
1. After #138 passes the block ahead, make sure you request to pass signal at danger [Tab] before departing Keddie Wye. The signal will remain red until you do so.
2. Sunrise begins about an hour into the run.
3. This is a rolling start scenario.

Hints:
1. In order to make the run easier, I ran the line a good 5 MPH under the speed limit until the signals ahead showed a green aspect. This will limit the amount of times you have to stop for a red signal.
2. I have the breaks set to the maximum difficulty setting on scenario start. This can cause some frustration for inexperienced drivers, because if your not careful you can lock the brakes up. Undoing this takes a minute or two. If you want to lower your brake difficulty, spam Ctrl+Shift+1.

Required Assets:
1. Feather River Canyon (Route)
2. Western Pacific GP35 by DTM
3. BNSF GP38-2 Pack
4. US Loco and Asset Pack
