CPR Shuswap Sub for MSTS
Canadian Pacific Railway's Revelstoke Station, circa 1968.
CPR Shuswap Sub, circa 1968.
"Shuswap" is a native North American term for "shimmering waters". The large lake in the British Columbia interior
is a common backdrop on this picturesque route. The Shuswap route starts at the crew change point in Revelstoke, B.C., at the end of
the Mountain Sub, crosses the Columbia River, and climbs over Eagle Pass with its thick coniferous forest and heavy winter snow loads.
The CPR "Last Spike" location of Craigellachie is found in this area commemorating the completion of the Canadian Pacific
Railway transcontinental route. The route continues past Sicamous along the Shuswap Lake, then takes a shortcut over Notch Hill and
back down to water level along the South Thompson River, which is almost desert, into Kamloops, B.C.
This add-on pack was carefully assembled to help maintain MSTS performance levels and the visual and dynamic sound quality
made available by Maple Leaf Tracks.
