New train simulator! Still in the dev phase, but is highly playable and very enjoyable if you like steam-era operations (and the operations-side of railroading vs just running trains). Think of it as Run-8 but with steam power. If you're interested, PLEASE check the game out and support the developers by picking it up here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/16...

Red Marble Grade is one of the famed steep hills in North Carolina, and happens to be in relatively close proximity to Saluda. Located on the old Southern Railway's Murphy Branch between Nantahala and Topton, the 3-mile long grade hits a sustained 4.5% in two sections, sandwiching a stretch of 3.9%.
