A diesel only line out of Hoboken. What we know so far, included stock is the GP40PH-2B diesel locomotive and also includes the Comet V cab car and trailer. let's go can't wait
I really wish they could've added the Comet IV as well and make the Morristown Line more complete, but it's still nice to have the Comet V arriving in the game.
Makes sense. Maybe in a future route we'll get those coaches, and have them layer on the other NJ routes that they are assigned to as well, making it feel more complete.
Very happy with this. I loved the ALP-45 from Morristown, so to have it for a diesel-only route now is great. With more NJ Transit stock, would be finally nice to see NY-Trenton updated as another one of my favourite routes.
it’ll be cool to be able to use the ALP-45DP with the comet aside from the tadami line, this will be the only DLC I buy i’ll pass on the rest
Yea and how far it go in this dlc, since it didn't mention an endpoint..Knowing them, they probably end it at Ridgewood lol.
The NJ Transit Bergen County Line is 30.5 miles (49.1 kilometers) long. the Bergen line is the one in gray
They probably going go as far as Ridgewood..They definitely NOT going to Port Jervis...I might be surprised if they even end at Suffern lol.
Hopefully the route goes further than Ridgewood as it would be nice to have more services and traffic from Main Line to complement. Nonetheless, it's nice to have more of a network and, overall, more US content in general which TSW needs.
Very exited for more nj transit content! Im so happy with this announcement. The best thing out of today’s stream. I have a feeling it’s both the main and bergen county branch to Suffern.
An all-electric route, then a diesel-only one? Thanks for the dual-mode locomotive, it's very "useful". Okay, it was stupid to hope for a full NJCL to Bay Head.
Yes... but... You know what I mean. There's no single route divided into electric and diesel sections. I must admit I'm disappointed that this isn't Port Jefferson as was widely speculated.
I still have hope for the nj coast line combined with fixed ny trenton to be a core route for tsw8. With pl42ac as a deluxe loco.
Reading the comments were many that seemed not to want any more LIRR . I for one would love more of it
Following this announcement, DTG should follow what they did with Boston-Providence and the HSP46 timetable with a brand-new Morristown GP40 (and Comet) timetable which would add so much more variety.
In my opinion, many people simply don't want to see the old LIRR with a new branch. And it's unlikely that DTG will undertake to redone the route from scratch. In my opinion, 2.0 was a poor addition, as it retained too much of 1.0. It's good that at least the signaling and the safety systems is working now.
Hyped! I too was hoping for LIRR Port Jefferson, but this is a pretty great choice imo. Hope we get both paths to Suffern. I know Port Jervis ain't happening lol.
Well, I’m going by what was announced officially on Direct and now posted on discord But yea that would be awesome
This is amazing, I definitely can't wait. I am so suprised because the other day, I was thinking about the section of track just east of Kearney but west of the D&LW tunnels that brings passengers to the lower level of Secaucus. I partially wondered if the trackwork present from the Morristown line may have been an easter egg for this route. I also yesterday was thinking it would be pretty cool to see single level NJT stock in the game. Now that it is confirmed, there will be so much replayability and service patterns with other NJT routes. Since this is the Bergen Line, I predict passenger operations for this route will end at Suffern with bringing trains into the yard just north of Suffern. Here is hoping we also get the Comet V trailer too since. I'd be stoked if we also see Metro North West of Hudson liveries appear but highly unlikely since those trains share the pool of equipment with NJT services.
Interestingly, with the Port Jefferson leak that was in several youtube videos, I wonder if there is potential for LIRR Port Jefferson branch to eventually arrive. Who knows, maybe in the season of reveals later on in the winter.
I summarized my thoughts on signaling and safety systems in this thread. Hopefully someone from the dev side will take notice and make improvements for the BCL, Comet V, and geeps. I really hope we avoid the cab signaling disaster that was New York to Trenton in this iteration.
They def not putting the main line part in the game lol..This is DTG we talking about when it comes to US passenger dlcs lol... And did you really think DTG would put Port Jefferson in the game?lol This the same company that once said they couldn't find enough reference on the diesels lmaoo
It’s good to have safety systems enabled by default. But I usually turn off the safety systems since I used the advanced HUD setting enabled and I drive the train and read the signals without crashing the train. And I like driving any US train at any US route. That’s my opinion.
