Thanks for the answer, although it is a bit disappointing. It seems strange they would model the yard, and model the Hudson up to the Stadium, but...
I never did get an answer from the Q&A posts: Did they actually end up modeling the Oak Point Link?
The SD40 is regular power on this route, so it's the logical choice for freight ops.
Is the Oak Point Link included? If not, why? It was included in the TSC route, and if the Hudson Line was developed as far as Yankees, it seems...
Kinda feeling the same way about the Oak Point Link, feels like a strange omission
If I'm understanding the map and the article correctly, the Oak Point Link isn't being modeled... is that correct?
I wouldn't say it's entirely unrealistic, you'd be surprised how far foreign power can travel lol
There's a small layover yard in Bridgeport
Not used to seeing it from that angle, but yeah, looks like Stamford [img]

Excellent write up, and my local route as well (although I'm usually riding Empire Services). Here are some of my own photos to add to the pot......
I still play the MSTS one... It's a shame Making-Tracks aren't around to do third party stuff for TSW. They really scratched that slam door EMU itch.
Mine sits on the couch reading, and likes to mock the AWS "clear" chimes. Pokes her head up from her romantasy book as I pass over a ramp... "DING!"
They take a lot of creative liberties with things like that. I regularly ride the Hudson and Harlem lines and, like you, there are several details...
It'd be nice just for traffic variety between GCT and Woodlawn
It gets brought up often, and I am a huge proponent for it. I've suggested multiple times Amtrak packs similar to the Cargo Line DLC's that would...
I would love to get some CSX/NS/CP freight around the Selkirk/Albany area. I've frequently suggested essentially a clone of Run8's Selkirk...
I couldn't agree more. I'm not entirely getting warm and fuzzy feelings about this one.
The only part of the route that will have the NEC/LIRR signalling will be the Hell Gate Line from SHELL to NYP, but as of right now only Amtrak...
100%, their cab signalling is far simpler and pretty easy to follow
If they fix it, I may actually start playing and buying DLC again lol
Depends where you go. I got some at a diner a few weeks ago that were pretty "meh." They didn't even have malt vinegar... Now, one of my personal...
While the white clam pies are good, traditionally New Haven style is plain. Pepe's didn't start doing the clam pies until the 60's. And now I'm...
100%, they would ace this
I am notoriously early for most forms of travel. Trains are at least half an hour... don't even get me started with flights... lol
I honestly wish they made it more a sim in a fictional setting, rather than a "racing/arcade" game.
Same, I love a Pannier
While I think it'd be cool to have the TSC Springfield and Boston routes ported over, I'm not sure it would ever happen
I'll actually be riding this system for the first time next month, and am pretty excited in general for my first trip to Toronto. While I think...
I just re-uploaded them, hopefully that does the trick
Ugh, sigh, it shows it for me too. And here I was thinking Postimage was the solution to Imgur... Let me do some homework again...
No trains in these, but the sunset was really pretty the other night, so I stopped by the Amtrak station in Rhinecliff for a couple of photos......
Never thought I'd see the day where a New Haven F40 would be a thing, yet here we are courtesy of the MBTA's "Heritage" program... [MEDIA] I...
Here's a really cool cab ride video of my childhood tourist line, the Naugatuck Railroad, that was just uploaded to YouTube. [MEDIA] If you have...
Google is your friend... [img] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slam-door_train
I would love to see some slam-door in TSW
It does for operating characteristics. AC traction motors perform differently than DC traction motors; a P32AC-DM drives differently than a P42DC....
Passing Wassaic last night I thought the Mini-Bomb set laying over looked cool in the fog, so I pulled in to grab a quick photo... [img]
I love TrainWorld, they've always been super good to me and have the best prices around.
Some very adorable Port of Par Twins... [img] [img]
Glitch in the Matrix, return to your pod lol
Bachmann VIA Rail SCV cab car [IMG] I think VIA's trainsets look far nicer than the ones Amtrak are getting, although the Cascades set testing...
The Shoreliners aren't being phased out just yet. The Adessia cars are a few years out, and initially slated to just run the Hartford Line. The...
I don't see DTG doing both, at least at first. The biggest visual differences between the earlier Shoreliners and the newer ones are three sets...
That raises a good point... do they model the SLI and II's, or III's and IV's? My money is on the III/IV, since that's what's already in TSC.
Again, though, it's not typical power for this route
I agree, but not for this route. Now across the river, and on the freight route between Selkirk and Jersey, and the Newburgh Secondary......
I honestly hope they provide the correct power for CSX freight. They've been running SD40's and AC44CW's lately, but I could see DTG just throwing...
MAX said 2020 in an earlier post, so no Budds
