It wasn't my intent to strike a nerve, I did my best to make that clear. I'm aware that JoeSchmoe123 (made up name AFAIK, if JoeSchmoe123 exists,...

Hats off to you for dealing with manual lap brakes. * Salute Emoji *

This might just be me, but it is something I wanted to bring up as constructive criticism, and / or something to think about. A number of...

I noticed a few inaccuracies: 1. At NYP, Tracks 1 - 4 have 3rd rail and lack bumper blocks. In real life, tracks 1 - 4 don't have third rail, and...

I'll get into more detail on it over time. Overall I enjoyed it. One thing I noticed that's a bit defeating is the grade from the North River...

I noticed that certain AI trains have been running with the rear headlights on for some time, most notably in the Caltrain DLC.

Same. As long as there aren't Harlem Line glitches that literally prevent me from finishing services, I should enjoy it. Is it 100% perfect for...

That's a good point. I don't know what the internal workings are like at DTG, nor is it my business to know. However, I think that has to do with...

As far as the route being empty, it's not too inaccurate in the stretch between Trenton & say Elizabeth or so. Empirically albeit I normally take...

The way the Amtrak train near NY Penn clipped just about every support beam in the stream was a bit bizarre and comical. You can see it here...

I didn't know DTG was making trackline belts for their merch. A Trenton - NY belt to hold up my pants at my waist sounds stylish. :cool:;) Just...

Amtrak should invest in DTG's ACS-64 locomotives & NJT should invest in DTG's ALP-46 locomotives. They're apparently dual mode! :D;)

Also, another history lesson, a visual one! I found this YouTube video showing Trenton during rush hour in 1996. [MEDIA] This was before...

Just chiming in with context about why imo TRE - NYP instead of PHI - TRE was a better idea. In real life, Amtrak (inherited from PRR) used to run...

Thanks for sharing that. I always wondered how these things work. As in how gaming companies get permission to create these routes, and how it...

I'm glad someone got the reference. DTG / TSW's equivalent would be a route with 2300 services.

Empirically, PHI - TRE is a ghost town when compared to TRE - NYP.

Major can be subjective. In my opinion, any station where a good chunk of Amtrak's trains stop is major. Most Regionals, LD, Keystones, etc stop...

Yep, as I mentioned, I'm not sure how accurate those numbers are. Let alone who records them and how they record them. Plus I'm not sure if those...

Trenton & Providence are major stops, along with Philly. The #s below are from Great American Stations: Providence (PVD): Annual Station...

Same here. There's barely any freight ON that stretch of the NEC nowadays. It's not like the 1970s when freight was all over the NEC. When they do...

Yep, NYP doesn't look 100% accurate. But I can see better on the platforms, it's not as dull / dark as it was in TSW 2020. The tunnels appear to...

I'm interested to see how the stars align during "NYE on NEC" *insert sunglasses emoji* The ALP-46 horn is immaculate. It sounds cleaner than a...

I'm with you on the take a breath part. At the end of the day, it's an optional video game DLC. No one is forced to buy it. The services will take...

Yes & No. I'm not all for that route, but I understand there's a demand for it. Not to diverge too far from the topic of this thread, I'll just...

Oh ok. Sorry for the mix up. Thanks for clearing it up.

The disappointment at the omission of Morrisville Yard was mentioned a few times. Even I chimed in, agreeing that it should've been included. But...

Oh wow. I didn't know the shuttles were discontinued! I haven't been on a NJCL train a day in my life. I just know about them from photos, threads...

I'm referring to Trenton Diesel Expresses, not NJCL Diesel Expresses. The Trenton / NECL (Northeast Corridor Line) Diesel Expresses were...

Yep. The majority of NJCL trains from NYP terminate at Long Branch and then there's a diesel shuttle from Long Branch to Bay Head. Many moons ago...

Also, albeit not being 100% about this route, the Dovetail article on the DLC today featured a podcast. On the podcast was Jim Rooney, an NJT...

Ah SWIFT! That's it. I forgot the name of the interlocking that the MidTown Direct trains use. Thanks for the refresher.

Matt said and I quote "You got the ALP-46 with the double decker coaches & the cab car" in the Roadmap Video from Feb 5, 2023, around the 10:24...

NJT's Push Pull trains use cab cars in both directions, unlike MBTA for instance. NJT loops a good bit of their trains, so not all of them face...

As I mentioned, AFAWK only NJT NECL trains are included. This means if it's not a NECL train, it's not known to be included. We'll know for sure...

Thanks for the input & clarification. I've seen the ALP-45s all over the system running in one mode, either electric or diesel. I understand NJT...

I agree, I like those locomotives. But when was the last time you saw an Amtrak Dash 8 between Trenton & NY? Let alone in Phase V paint? I'm not...

Correct. AFAWK, only NECL NJT trains are included.

I sat and watched the entire video. Well done. Also, you reminded me of Matt's question regarding the NJCL. He essentially asked if it's ok to...

I saw there was a "NYE in NYC" achievement / trophy. It's possible the fireworks have something to do with that. Good eye. I'm looking forward to...

Two things: 1. I love your profile picture. It makes me laugh, albeit it may not have been the intention of Ghost from MW2. 2. I knew what you...

If that's how you feel, to each their own. I won't be PISsed off at passenger information systems. We can all agree to disagree, without getting...

Ditto. I'm pretty passionate about this route because I've rode it for YEARS. I'm disappointed about a few things, but that's bound to happen...

The other Comet coaches are cool, but I think DTG would rather do solid consists than mixed ones like NJT. It's RARE to see a solid consist of...

This thread is 10 pages & counting. So you might not have read each one in detail, but the Acela been brought up a number of times. We'll have to...

Thanks. I'm not familiar with the inner workings of NJT. But as someone who has rode trains on that stretch of the NEC for over 20 years, it's not...

As a refresher, here's what DTG JD stated regarding the timetable services. It's on Page 3 of this thread: There are 289 total playable services...

They say good things come in threes... That's what I heard at least.

I feel like the DTG team is trolling us with these names. Is this for real or a April Fools Joke in February? Whose job is this? * My laughing...

One other thing. I saw a few comments complaining about Harold Interlocking not featuring the Grand Central Madison tracks. For a while Harold...
