    Sparks from the third rail and OHLe were supposed to be new features for TSW according to JD's infamous teams message on the IOW preview stream a few weeks back.

    It’s quite telling that a simple lighting effect is considered a ‘feature’ for this release. The dynamic sky / moving clouds is nice, but also not really innovative or gameplay enhancing.

    The tunnel entrance is very swiss like, according to photos on google. I think therefore this is an upcoming swiss route.

    Ah, the tweets were all made up, They are only figuratively flying to the location of the live stream, into which they will be green screened tomorrow, and the camera equipment they were supposedly lugging is represented by that viewfinder overlay superimposed over the location which is just an in-game scene but is supposedly so much more realistic than previously we ‘could’ mistake it for live camera footage. Excellent trolling from DTG.

    And the mystery continues!

    (Which means this might be the longest route ever made for TSW, if so)

    It would be. To date the longest are Sherman Hill (76 total of both tracks), Clinchfield (63 with all spurs) and LGV (58).

    The scene in the video looks pretty. Haven’t heard the sounds yet. Will have a listen shortly.

    EDIT: Have now heard the sounds. I’m excited.

    Well, DTG tries to build the hype with these teasers in the past (except for Rush Hour, someone accidentally published the webpage on the TSW site before it was announced), before it hits a disappointed wall for many peoples in the community.

    90miles is the next clue so that puts it in either US or UK. But what 90 mile US route is alpine with over head gantry? Unless it's a pre 1970s route where US lines experimented with electric wires.

    Could we be seeing an Electric historic US fright line?

    I would be surprised if they did a Great Northern or a Milwaukee Road route, as those are two with some mountain terrains in the northwest with some electric power back in their heydays, more so with MILW than GN.

    I will be highly annoyed if it's another Northeast US. I will swear to that.

    However, been looking at the stream and there is this one rock formation that looks eerie familiar for some reason.
    ScreenShot_20220805120920.jpeg

    And yet, I can't even ponder on where it's from. (either that or it's just the lighting or the textures they used to make it look different)

    Lol!!! I'd love an 80's Conrail route though.

    Afaik, there's never been any official Conrail content- i know the licensing might be tricky because the company still exists in zombie form.

    I'd quit complaining about TSW for at least a year of they could pull it off!

    To me it means something like Rosenheim Brenner line ÖBB Baureihe 1216 1116 4024 4124 4758 1293. Innsbruck has Vbf Hall in Tirol it's equivalent to Dresden Friedrichstadt. Own Rosenheim Brenner route. You will find that your train got an ÖBB 1216 1116 1016 instead of a 146.2 143.
    1016 shares the Leipzig 182 achievements while 1116 gets the Hamburg achievement tracker. Basically another pathway to get the True Taurus 1820km by running ÖBB 1016. Hamburg Runs 1116

    Don't know if I'm imagining this or not, but whenever the train sound plays it looks like something starts coming out of tunnel, but you can't really see the train that well.

    Yeah, some are speculating that there is indeed a train hiding in that tunnel. I'm assuming that train will be the grand finally once the stream reaches 0 tomorrow.

    There was a change when the countdown hit 18 hours, so after 6 hours, this would suggest 4 parts, maybe seasons? Hard to see difference other than the clouds changed direction but maybe is spring and summer so far, will see if trees change leaves after 12 hours of stream...

    Actually maybe the wind changing direction was the whole point?

    Major league trolling from DTG and just about everybody is feeding it. Fun, though, isn't it, even though I'm mostly just a spectator. :D

    A umbrella just came past, possibly hinting that passengers might have umbrellas.

    Surprised someone would lose their umbrella, let alone be flying near the tracks. I smell something hazardous from that.

    It's because the camera height is lower it's obscuring it:

    A 90 mile British route, a 85 mile US route (based on the desert landscape), and presumably another one of a similar length, no wonder DTG hasn't been doing releasing routes that often.

    BNSF Cajon Subdivision is 81 miles, but an extra 4 could be a branchline...

    Edit: BNSF Mojave sub would also fit the biome, but is much longer.

    Apparently, a UK term for, get this, "Umbrella."

    Not sure if this is right, but it is the closest to have an answer with real words from the code. (instead of more scrambled words, to be frank)
