    It's a 38 station, 82-mile route starts from GCT in NYC to Wassaic with M3A & M7A married fleets, but I want to & from Southeast. Express or Local north of Grand Central. With a lot of history of the route & the color: blue.

    I think a TS version of a Hudson line proposal should be made. We’ve got LIRR, Harlem line but no Hudson, and the Hudson line thread in TSW got so much popularity, so let’s see how it does in the TS forums.

    Sounds like a good idea but 82 miles feels like a bit to long for a high density commuter route.

    They could potentially do half and then, the other half as an extension to the original route. Would not mind seeing this come to Train sim 2018

    I want it in Railworks and not really TSW anymore, it will take a while if it was in TSW.

    DTG can very well get this route done, end to end, regardless of it being 82 miles long, no problem. This is not TSW, where they do 32-40 miles per route, which is the case clearly, for now (have to be fair because they're still working to improve the game as a whole and simultaneously release content, as Jay stated elsewhere on these forums). TS 20xx has plenty of full length, featured routes from various regions. Case in point, look at the recent UK route, "ECML Modern covers the 112 route miles from Peterborough to York" - pulled directly from the steam page. Though its not the entire ECML, its a great chunk of it, set in a more modern setting. Whether they decide to do this route, however, or any for that matter, is up in the air from our perspectives and is something we the community won't know, until whatever is being worked on, is ready for launch.

    Depends if DTG puts the time into it though, they mainly spend their time on UK routes.

    ECML Modern Peterborough - York was not made by DTG, it was made by Creative Rail. Plus I don't think Creative Rail will have much of a time restriction on making it than DTG would of, so they will probably have more time to make a longer route and put a lot of detail/work into it.
