==========================================================================

This simulation started as MANHTN.A-T by Peter Wilkens, which I
downloaded from the Compuslurp railroad forum. The Empire State Building
and World Trade Center are his, along with most of the geography.

It inspired me to add some of the major subway lines and of course that
meant I HAD to include the "real" A-TRAIN!

You will recognize Manhattan instantly, New Jersey across the Hudson
River, Queens across the East River and Brooklyn to south (across Newtown
Creek), with the Bronx to the north.

I had to take some liberties with a couple of routes so that everything
would work together. See if you can spot them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The trains running on each route are color-coded. Each equipment set is
numbered according to its registry number in the At-Train "Schedule"
window.
