Didn't someone just ask that in a recent thread? I swear I just saw it a day or two ago.... would save having to repost all of it. Well, short...
By mileage and tonnage? Long, flat pieces. Texas, Arizona, Kansas, Ohio, Florida, etc. There's Cane Creek and Sherman Hill (and even Sherman Hill...
There's two already, albeit alpine runs.
Prolly gonna get shot down again, but hey go with what ya know. =-) The route has a lot of track (167 miles) but the actual main part is just...
It's not clear from the original post if the OP intends a "heritage" (museum) railway...or a functioning railway from "back in the day" era...
Just no appreciation of the finer things in life!
Ah well yeah XBox doesn't have that many sales. That kinda sucks. But either way, if they give us some ideas we can suggest more options! Given...
This isn't in the suggestion forum because it's more of a curiosity I ran across when looking for something else. In the TSW 4 release news for...
There's a sale coming up I think on Steam. Maybe they'll be there then. I've bought most of my DLC on sales, but it's up to you. What sort of...
The Class 91 might come to the Preston to Shap route.
All of them. I'm not sold it'll be a great route for freight, but we'll see. At least the outreach was there to include it.
Save works for me. There's only the one save slot, but I don't need any more than that. I'm not so sure it's "broken" at present, so much as...
You say that... but again it's a guess. *shrugs* It beats the usually silly answer "they want it to be broken" for some unknown reason. I'd...
Not sure if you thought I said a "bad save option" was intentional. I meant that the focus of TSW is different than TSC. That's not an opinion....
Save is for saving progress. The length is irrelevant. 20 minutes in, an hour or two hours in. I think we're starting to go in circles again...
Do you need a route over 150 miles? The average freight speed is around 50 mph. That's a 3 hour session without stops. I dunno how many people...
You're just making my point about the difference between serious and casual gamers having different opinions and desires. You are entirely welcome...
I keep running into that with the smaller lines. GW has been very busy. List of small railroads owned by the Genesee and Wyoming...
I didn't see you say you had those in the original post. Have you looked at any of the other freight focused DLCs? Is there anything specific you...
I see where people are coming from, but it keeps getting brought up because there are no other multi-user options for console players. They can't...
I'd be fine with that, but there are a very vocal number of players who are allergic to even hearing that idea and think it akin to blasphemy to...
If they're in TSC then isn't that pretty much good for "preserving" them for later TSW? DTG already has access to what is required to build them...
JT seems to be doing great with what they're focused on. 80s stuff in the Northwest, centered around Preston. I can definitely see them using that...
I think they're gonna do what they think people will buy. I'm not convinced much of that mentioned was all that popular or "historic" to warrant...
CN Tower is pretty famous and there's the AMTRAK Maple Leaf that goes from NYC to Toronto, plus Ottawa has a pretty neat little rail system that...
Do you have any other freight DLC beyond Cajon Pass?
The Oakville one is fun I must admit. The F125 runs very well on Fife Circle as a stand-in for the Class 68. Same engine and similar design. We...
That describes passenger services too... go forward... stop... go forward... stop.... go forward... stop. Sometimes you get to sit at a red light...
You and Spikee just made the case for doing older US freight routes (pre-2007) and making them hilly. Like Sand Patch. No PTC systems were...
Tooty pretty much gets it in the entry below your post. There's a lot of actions involved in freight driving that just aren't in the game. Only...
Fair enough. Just stating what may be obvious to you but not to everyone. There's a different "work flow" to freight operations that may be...
Freight is a different animal. Different lifestyle. Even though they're both on rails. It's like expecting a school bus driver's day and an...
The only difference (again, practically) between the two systems seems to be that the freight system operates off of GPS and Wi Fi in rural areas....
I really don't need to know the answer since I don't care for it anyway and think it destroys "fun" for casual players, but is there much...
The DTG team are DnD nerds... who woulda thunk it?
I haven't played TSW on console, but from other games I've played on both platforms it's often a lot harder to manage detailed games with lots of...
Yes, we were all called "special" by our parents I'm sure =-)

Yes and yes. Not entirely different crowds since quite a few people play both, but as I've stated before I think the huge number of younger,...
I know this is out there, and might be a nightmare logistically, but for something that's scalable and identifiable you can't really beat it....
There are several areas that always seemed to be very busy in a small size. Switzerland would be one that you could model a huge part of the rail...
In the case of the Genesee and Wyoming, it's international since they have lines all over the world. I didn't know until I started doing research...
But you could argue that if you're just speeding across flat, similar terrain or obscured by trees you're not really getting the feeling of...
All routes, production of all routes... same point in the discussion. It's not relevant to the main focus of the discussion.
I never said all routes were identical.
Okay. That's a fine belief. Let's test it. So DTG is making mostly urban passenger routes because there's a huge market of rural freight that...
I don't recall what thread. It was roughly 80% being console sales vs steam sales. (Not sure if it was number of sales or total amount of sales)...
Different player base I think. The freight people migrated to there (or stayed there instead of going to TSW) in large part, meaning the player...
Does it take more time to drive them? Seems to be similar given that passenger stops are more often so they both take quite a while to complete....
The truth is that most of the population lives in urban areas and sees commuter trains more. People tend to enjoy things they are familiar with....
Separate names with a comma.
