Rolling Line changes
It's time for Christmas! This update wraps up the Multiplayer Map Jam and includes a bunch of shout-outs of my own personal favorite maps from the event.
It's also a good time to enjoy a bunch of snowy themed maps and make use of the various winter themed features in the game! Previous year's Christmas updates added things like:
Dynamic snow cover on trains and wagons (if you set the weather to snowy!)
The Canadian Christmas train
Rotary snow plow
Attachable snow plows you can add to any train
Snow globe prop
Christmas decoration props
Christmas presents

Winter themed maps
Over the years there have been tons of snowy maps and Christmas themed maps uploaded to the Steam Workshop, so here's a few of my favorite examples:

Multiplayer Map Jam shout-outs!
Congratulations to everyone who took part in this map making event! There's a ton of amazing maps and It's been great to see public servers being hosted where people are enjoying these maps.
As with all map making events, I always play every single entry personally and at the end of the event I post some of my favorites!
So here's a few maps I really wanted to shout-out:
Boberfjorden Railways
This massive map is so impressive! It has tons of height variation with walkways and elevated tables, combined with excellent trackwork, scenery detailing and overall design:
Primrose Mountain RR
An incredible map! It's got a beautiful range of scenery along a huge main line, one of my absolute favorites of the whole jam:
Utah Northwestern Freelance Railroad
Really impressive map with tons of steep cliffs, bridges and verticality! It even has a switch control room hidden under the tables:
RL30 New Westphalia and Balcones Railroad
Beautifully detailed map with heaps of little scenes and areas of interest, as well as lots of operations potential tightly packed together:
TrainMann's TrainLine- Mid-Wales Missions
An excellent little map with a surprising amount of depth to it's operations, with a daily schedule and lots of custom freight loaded wagon mods:
Pineland, CA
Amazingly detailed and polished map, with especially designed switchboards and electronics:
The POTB Expanded
A massive map with a super long main line and heaps of yards, industries and sidings. This would make for some excellent ops with huge freight trains:
Salgótarján
A beautifully vibrant and unique map with lovely scenery:
And a couple of shout-outs to huge map projects that got big updates:
And these two maps that did really interesting things with the "Multiplayer" theme by making unique gameplay designs!
Of course there are SO many more maps to play than just these, and I really encourage you to go over to the Steam Workshop and have a look at all the entries yourself:
Thanks again everyone for taking part in the Multiplayer Map Jam, and have a lovely Christmas!
