Something else to note (that is sort of hinted at in original post) is that the brakes seem to be setup only for freight service even though this...
Well I tried it out, and it is certainly an improvement over the old AEM-7, but I think there's room for improvement. My thoughts here:...
Overall, there is no denying that Reppo’s AEM-7 is a definite step up in quality from its RSC counterpart from a decade ago. However, there are...
I can confirm that I saw a major improvement in performance as a PC user since the near constant stuttering is mostly gone on my side too. Glad...
At least from my experience on PC, this has not been fixed. I just ran westbound timetable services 79 and 3943 - both of which bypass Metropark...
I guess it’s probably a bit subjective, but yeah it is possible to be on time with a good majority of the services on the route outside of rush...
Short answer is no. There have been numerous posts about signaling issues in this route such as this one:...
While it is good to hear about the progress on updates to the timetable, I saw no mention in the article about other fixes for the route. Are they...
No worries, Joe. Too bad the dispatcher/timetable is still a bit finicky when it comes to reversible tracks. In any case, I’m happy to see all...
Hi, Joe, you may already know this, but just in case not - if you are using the 2015 timetable, the 26XX series trains primarily used ALP...
Good to hear you are still seeing/testing the backside of these developments! A NYT with your style of signal implementation might make this route...
Exactly! This is pretty much what I have experienced as well in my test runs of the timetable too. These scenarios demonstrate the exact behavior...
Sorry if I sound like a broken record at this point, but I have to keep stressing that the cab signals should be addressed too. I have mentioned...
No that makes sense to me. The public timetable for the coast line from September 2019...
Joe can correct me if I’m wrong here, but my guess is that the Hoboken services would represent the 26XX series trains between Hoboken and Long...
To say that I am relieved to hear the timetable is being overhauled for NYT with a much more prototypical NJT services (player and AI) is a huge...
I encountered what looks like another safety system bug. This time it looks like the alerter, without warning, throws my train into an...
I agree - it looks like conformity between cab signal and wayside signal has not been fixed. Something tells me that getting this to work...
Unless if you are actively experiencing a penalty brake application, that message should not be shown. Indeed that’s one of the bugs included in...
Signal Issues Further info on the "spider" signals hung within the east side of the Newark Penn station overbuild: See reply #3 above for the...
This is what I can see from recent YouTube videos: The exterior signs on the side of the multilevel cars will cycle between the destination...
I see a lot potentially wrong in that video. I can’t tell which system is giving you a penalty brake but they don’t make sense for either case....
Thanks for compiling these signal reports, Brandon! You certainly have much more patience than me to record all these specific examples....
I totally agree here. From what I have seen so far, the conformity between wayside signal and cab signal is wrong more times than it is right....
Rolling Stock Issues The brake indicator lights and door open lights on each multilevel car are not working properly. There are many videos on...
Adding more items below: Signal Issues There are two pedestal type signals on the east side of Rea Interlocking (Harrison). They both seem to...
Figured I would share this list I’m working on collecting issues (mostly can signaling related) here:...
I am starting to collect a list of issues that I have found so far playing the Trenton route. I have listed them below. I'll probably have more to...
I think this is probably more an issue of terminology. If they technically included all the 31XX, 37XX, 38XX, 39XX and associated deadheads, it...
Personally, I think it would be a nice to have, but ultimately not as high priority to include RVL services. My position is that they should focus...
Yeah, I’m keeping my expectations low, but I guess it is worth asking the question to be sure. In any case, I guess we’ll find out in the preview...
My apologies if this has not already been answered, but I am wondering if anyone from Dovetail can reply. What, if any, non-playable/A.I....
Yeah, at least for NORAC signaling (which Amtrak and MBTA use here), that is not a valid signal aspect. The closest correct aspect you can have is...
Right, ideally, if they set it up correctly, it would make sense to allow players to operate the off-peak services up to Rahway before they split...
If this is the case, from a purely NJT perspective, it is a bit underwhelming that they would not at least include NJCL trains that make most if...
Gotcha, thanks for the confirmation, Brandon!
Yeah, it makes sense to me that both 270 ppm codes would be introduced for LIRR compatibility. I just have yet to find and example where 270/270...
One would have to see the signal control plans for the railroad to confirm this, but as far as I know, CAB SPEED 60 (270 ppm) is indeed used...
This article describes the cab signal progression I mentioned above....
Yes, MBTA uses an ADU that can display all 9 cab signals (plus stop for ACSES) as originally specified by Amtrak. I have not noticed the “TPP”...
See my posts above, but to summarize, the only services from NYP that prototypically need an ALP-45DP would be the services to Bay Head or...
The same goes for most midtown direct trains going to Dover or Summit (though these would probably go in the non-playable category since they...
Here’s my 2 cents on NJCL services: At least on the weekdays, the only trains required to have dual modes would be the 3300 series trains that go...
Thanks for the response, Brandon! I am happy to hear you are still involved in these potential fixes for Boston Sprinter. The route in its...
With the renewed interest generated by a new AC electrified route based in the USA, I wanted to give the devs some feedback on Signaling/Safety...
I agree with the general sentiment that this is partially an issue with how the dispatcher works. It simply does not make sense to have an Amtrak...
Great to hear and thanks to you and the rest of the team for keeping track of these points! These were the items that caught my attention, but I...
I have noticed similar behavior with the regular services too approaching Boston (Amtrak trains from Back Bay). It seems that the dispatcher...
Update: For Item (7) above, I now realize that the Stoughton Branch is NORAC rule 562 territory (no fixed ABS signals) - so we should have more...
