under the Ministry of Railways, and is tasked with operating the rail network in
India. The Ministry is headed by a cabinet rank Railways Minister, while the
Department is managed by the Railway Board. Indian Railways is not a private
corporate body; however, of late IR has been trying to adopt a corporate management
style.

Indian Railways has a total state monopoly on India's rail transport. It is one of

INSTALLATION
____________

You would require INDRAILV2_A.ZIP , INDRAILV2_B.ZIP & INDRAILV2_C.ZIP for the

installtion.

1.Create a New Folder named 'INDRAILV2' in the Path '\Microsoft Games\Train

Simulator\ROUTES'(Refer your MSTS installation accordingly)

2.Unzip all the Three Parts (A, B & C) in seperate Folders & Copy the contents into
the Newly created folder 'INDRAILV2'.

3.Please extract the 'CONSIST' folder from the 'INDRAILV2_A.ZIP' package & paste
the contents into the '\Microsoft Games\Train Simulator\TRAINS\CONSISTS' folder. DO
NOT Replace the folder.It will cause loss of previously installed consists,just
update with the contents of the folder.

4.Run the Installme.bat file and then you are done!

COMMON ISSUES
_____________

1.You might encounter 'XXXXX.SMS' file missing.First check at TRAINS Folder level
if all the sound files are present.If No, please install requisute Sound files. If
yes,then please do a search on your PC & get the .SMS file & copy into the
\Microsoft Games\Train Simulator\SOUND' folder.These are normally Loco/Coach
sounds.

Special Notes
_____________

Since the route is highly detailed,folks with lower PC configuration might face
issues & frequent freezes.I would request them to reduce the Graphics settings
appropriately. Also folks with lot of routes installed are sugested to use Train
Store for optimal performance.

I would like to dedicate this Route to my friend & fellow railfan Swapnil David.

Hope this route runs error free & please mail me at my email id ,I would love to
hear feedbacks,critisim if any :-)

Enjoy!
