    The time table is impossible to keep due to the train being routed through a 10 mph zone right at the start (about a mile into the scenario). As there is not even a train on the parallel rail, I'd guess that the switch and/or the speed reduction around Gilroy Track 6 is wrong. (Would the train pass Gilroy on the mainline, the timetable would be fine, I guess)

    Just finished this scenario with a score ~-15000 and over 7 minutes late. It has been about 5 years and this has never been fixed. Clearly DTG does not test anything, especially US routes.

    And it is not likely to be fixed.
    Unless a fault in a scenario has been found in an early stage of the route DTG don't fix them.

    Usually it is reported in a forum and somebody suggests a fix - like changing the route or moving a train.

    Playing the devil's advocate, the work to fix a scenario doesn't pay. You have to retest it again by fully playing it at least twice (normally, then with delays). Every further change requires you to do that again.

    I have uploaded a fix which repairs an unplayable (crashing) scenario on Peninsula Corridor. The fix got one single "Helpful" and 26 downloads. Clearly not a top priority for a commercial business. I've fixed a lot of other scenarios for myself but can't be bothered to upload them... the NS and DP career fixes are an exception, just wanted to show and destroy the myth that you cannot modify a DLC Career scenario :)

    The only time window for content fixes is directly after release of a DLC, because the devs know what it should be like and can address it, before moving on to the next job.

    Ever tried to fix someone else's scenario, figuring out how it is supposed to be can take up a lot of time alone. It's not worth it for a handful of players, and will drown in the mass of content available.
