Majestic Falls Railroad for TSC - is a popular, high-detail fictional route for the Train Simulator Classic game. It was created by a community member and is available for free on the Steam Workshop. The route is particularly well-regarded for its detail and realistic feel, often compared favorably to paid DLC. Its primary purpose is coal hauling, with additional traffic from the remnants of a once-thriving lumber trade and local wayfreight.

The route begins at a mainline-served yard with engine repair shops. From there, it follows the Elena River, serving five different mines, a grading plant, a paper works, a cement works, and several local team tracks.
