    I'm seeing alot of people want NEC and NJT content.
    H
    ere's my wish list route. This may be a bit of a challenge. If you're gonna do the NEC you gotta do it right.

    NEC NY to Washington DC including
    - Amtrak ACELA express service
    - Amtrak regional services
    - Amtrak long distance services (Cardinal, Silver trains to Fla etc)
    - NJ Transit express and local services to Trenton
    - NJ Transit express and local services North Jersey Coast Line as far as Woodbridge (one stop past NEC mainline). It's probably too ambitious to extend the long branch or bay head.
    - NJ Transit Morristown services from NY Penn Station via Newark Broad St station (one stop off NEC Maintain)
    - Septa services between Trenton and 30th St Station
    - Septa services between 30th St Station and Newark DE
    - Marc Services between Perryville MD and Washington DC

    The timetable for this route would rival London commuter.

    Raritan Valley line originates in newark. You need to change trains to get into the city. It could however go down the line.

    Realistically, I could see them doing New York-Philadelphia since it is 91 miles. The main challenge however is that there are 28 stations on the route. 1 more if you include the Princeton Branch, and 3 more if you include the SEPTA line to Temple University. Definitely does seem pretty ambitious, but it would easily be the best part of the NEC. DC-Baltimore just like the TS version would also be cool to see. Maybe they could also include Martin Airport.
