Mission for this map is to cross the Alps
|
|
|
|
|
Using this view you can clearly see the two lines that cross the mountains. The gaps are the summit tunnels, just like the Gotthard in real life.
|
|
It is not easy to find a path throught this with no more than 6 to 8% grades...
|
|
|
|
|
In order to keep the grades as low as possible you sometimes must folow the mountain sides while slowly descending
|
|
As in real life you might have to make spaghetti-like tracks to achieve this

The "Orient Express" campaign level offers a very special, very fast and half-organic (yea right) engine that you can unlock by connecting to Zagreb and making some monks happy.
|
|
It's a remarkable machine indeed
|
|
|
|
|
But: one of the goals of this mission is to keep a rather high all-time average speed for express trains.
Since this engine is quite fast, it is smart to try to get it as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very
hard to maintain the high everage speed required for the Gold award.
