New Test Map - California High Speed Rail (CA10)
Posted: Fri Jul 30, 2010 8:16 pm
Well, I finally got around to starting a Trainmaster map.
This "Test Map" (not an official release) focuses on the recent past, present, and future in the state of California.
BACKGROUND
With California’s highways/freeways jammed and its airports overloaded, it was natural for the
state government to look for a way to alleviate the problem. In 1996, the California High Speed
Rail Authority (CHSRA) was founded as a basis to tackle the problem. Drawing off of systems in
Europe and Asia, the Authority has drawn up an extremely detailed plan to build the New
World’s first true high speed rail system. Reaching planned speeds of up to 220 mph, the
California High Speed Rail system is planning on being one of the fastest high speed systems in
the world.
DESCRIPTION
You’ve been hired by the CHSRA’s Board of Directors to be its Chief Executive Officer. You are in
charge of preparing, constructing, and operating the entire high speed rail system within the
timeframe and restrictions provided by the CHSRA’s Board of Directors and the California State
Government. You must prove that the system lives up to its pre-construction hype and that it, when
finished, is efficient, profitable, and will be on track to pay off its entire construction and planning
costs within a few decades. This will prove to be no easy task for any Railroad Tycoon.
This map is (somewhat) historically accurate. The California High Speed Rail Authority is a real entity - http://cahighspeedrail.ca.gov/
The map is available at my site's Map Archive: http://www.techtourguide.com/kurtdvich/MapArchive.htm
I hope to get back to finishing the map soon. Thanks in advance for an reviews or comments!
