The New Tsw6 Routes Added To My Google Routes Map

Good job

 

glendathu I wanted to thank you for making this available and keeping it updated. I refer to it *all* the time. Thanks!

 

Is there an ETA on it getting Stamford?

 

I see it has been updated, I did go and tweak it a bit myself though as it didn't include the route to Penn, and the old NEC route does not accurately reflect what's there in NY-Stamford.

 

Good idea to give the old NEC route the same colour ! What did you mean with "not accurately reflects" ? Is anything missing ?

 

When I downloaded the kmz, the purple lines of the NY-Stamford route contained Grand Central to Stamford, but had left out the segment from Penn to New Rochelle, which in NY-Stamford includes Hunts Point, Oak Point and Harlem River Yards, but no longer includes the spur to Fresh Pond that existed in the original NEC-NY.

Essentially 1/3 of the NY-Stamford route was missing from the map, and not accurately represented by the old NEC-NY route.

 

And I can surmise it was not just a decision not to show track that is shared with another route, because if that were the case, why show all the track it shares with the Harlem Line either?

 

So cool seeing all the routes overlaid on the map like this... awesome!

 

So the latest update is closer to being accurate for NEC NY-Stamford, but not *quite* there, it now reuses bits of the old NEC-NY that aren't part of the current Penn-Stamford route, and has one old location name that doesn't reflect its current name in NY-Stamford.

 

Thanks for your corrections ! I erased that part.

 

I would love to see a real world map for each route in game. Not to include it seems weird to me as I often have to Google places just to find out where I am.
I was thinking a simple outline map with a line drawn. For example; SEHS, an outline of mainland UK with a line from London to Faversham and Ashford. However, if you ghosted(faint lines) close by/layering routes, it may entice sales.
It'd be easier to understand where you are in the world, giving greater involvement.
