    Just a small idea, which would make the game more realistic.

    This would definetely be good to see, for 3rd rail power supplies aswell. Especially as overhead wires or powered rails get wet or icy, arcing can occur.

    I believe Matt once mentioned it on a stream aswell. They definetely do want to see it, but DTG isn't actively working on it, though I believed he mentioned an employee looking into it in his spare time (don't quote me on that though, not 100% sure). I wonder what became of that.

    Anyhow, this, along with snow and dust being blown around by passing engines, are among the visual effects highest on my wishlist.

    I agree with this. This will make the game much more realistic. Hopefully we will see it somepoint down the line.

    Definitely agree with this and the arcing will be different between the voltages 25kv 50hz 15kv 16.7 Germany 25kv 60hz 11kv 16.7 & 25hz 1.5kv DC OHLE Third Rail Top Contact & Bottom Contact 750v DC 630v DC Bakerloo Line
