The frame controls the crossing of the Illinois Central with the Peoria & Eastern, and Wabash railroads, together with various connections, the passenger station and leads to the yards.

The traffic includes famed long-distance expresses such as the "Panama Limited" and the "City of New Orleans", tremendously long freight trains, local switching movements and lots more.

This simulation provides a complete contrast to the other PC-Rail models.
