Can you add this route? That includes Amtrak’s and Metro-North Railroad’s P32AC-DM with Amfleets and Shoreliners (All Shoreliner versions). This route is from both New York’s Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal to Albany-Rensselaer next to the Hudson River. The Hudson River is a beautiful river and I can’t wait to see it in Train Simulator 2019!
Hopefully, but so far the American routes have been getting shorter and shorter. So I don't have much hope for it to go that far. Even if it goes to Croton-Harmon, and expansion can get done.
Yeah, your right. TSW hasn't had routes over 40 miles yet, so it would make sense to have it go to Poughkeepsie since there have been long American Routes. I hope it gets as much or similar effort as Marias Pass considering it's the longest American route in the game.
DTG has seemingly gotten into the habit of doing shorter sections. Croton-Harmon being a major end-point along the line for electrics does seem likely, unfortunately, as extensions do give them time to focus on other content, where they could go back to it at a later date, and still make extra profit. I would prefer it go to Poughkeepsie, at the very least for the first section, as it is only about 74miles, if I'm not mistaken. But Albany would totally be welcomed as well.
There is a chance. But even with TS, they don't always give it all at once, or even the first time. I see it as an extension to the NYNH, or more likely, a standalone, which will more than likely be merged post-release. If done, I'd seriously be pretty excited for the Empire section from Penn Station to Spuyten Duyvil. That would be the only part I would imagine where Diesel operations would be most useful if they don't go beyond Croton-Harmon, which would be quite disappointing. But, something is better than nothing, which I'm usually hardpressed to say when it comes to DTG content, as it does in a sense sort of welcomes "corner cutting."
Yes, puh-leez! I would love to have the Empire Corridor implemented into TS. The Amtrak Empire Connection (between Penn and Riverdale), the Metro-North Harlem Connection (between Harlem - 125 St and Riverdale), and the joined Empire Corridor (between Riverdale and Croton-Harmon for electrification, Poughkeepsie for Metro-North, or Albany-Rensselaer) would all be key components and great additions to TS itself, but especially for the MTA collection! Attached is a whole list that I made up quite a while ago of all the station layouts for the Metro North. Pages 2 - 18 are specifically for the Hudson Line between Yankees - E. 153 St and Poughkeepsie. All tracks are also included for every station, as well as all possible trains that can run on them. The list gets a bit hectic near terminal stations, so if you need any help, feel free to reply to me here. I hope this helps nudge the TS Development Team into developing this route. Thanks

Oh my goodness! My heart is racing right now with excitement lol. I've been waiting for the Hudson Line for so long! Alas, we didn't even get close to Poughkeepsie, which is a huge letdown. But, it's better than nothing, right? Perhaps they will make a Poughkeepsie and/or Albany extension in the near (probably far away, considering DTG's precedents) future. I'll probably be stuck on the Hudson line for a while nevertheless lol
