    Another thing I would like to see for TSW 2 is the Pascack valley line, where only New jersey Transit and Metro North run on that route, it runs from the yard - Hoboken. This would also be a great thing I would like to see. This would also be a great edition also. Hope you like the idea.

    Excellent idea and you need to explain Rolling Stock Route length with video and train protection system. To make it easy on yourself this line is actually is equipped with Postive Train Control like the Raritan Valley Line. My suggestion which is found on my signature

    Yes I should've been more specific sorry about that, the rolling stock are multilevels, comet iv and comet v. The line is 31 miles running from spring valley to Hoboken, the year should be set with diesel train, about the year 2018, with the ALP-45Dp, GP40 and F40. WIth the comet and multilevels.

    2018 predates the installation of Postive Train Control on Pasack Valley Line and what would it be better for the route is setting in 2021 with PTC active and ALP-45DP 4534 in service. That way it can be combined with my suggestion the Raritan Valley Line do to Both routes linking at Hoboken Terminal. Common locomotives between Pasack Valley line and Raritan Valley Lines are ALP-45DP tier III 4500-4534 tier IV 4535 GP40 F40PH & soon-to-be retired PL42AC.
