    Cleveland RTA's Red Line is a mostly aboveground line which runs from Clevelands East side into Downtown Cleveland and then out into the west side to Clevelands International Airport.

    The red line runs along a section of Norfolk Southerns Chicago line as well as CSX's Short Line and NS Lake Erie District.

    2 subterranean sections include a tunnel entering the Cleveland Hopkins International airport grounds which is the USA;s first Central Business District to Airport rail link, then as the line reaches central Downtown Cleveland, you travel into the space once occupied by the Cleveland Union Terminal which has been made into an RTA train station connecting to Cleveland RTA's Blue and Green Lines.

    Central Rail Maintenance building can be found at the East 55th Station and yard.

    Rolling Stock includes 2 models of a mid 1980's Tokyu Rail Car which one is a single cab which is in a married pair with another single cab car as well as one which features double ended cabs which can run as a single train car, Both of these models are similar on the exterior.

    Non-drivable trains would include CSX and NS locomotives as well as Breda Cleveland Car LRV's, The LRV's could possibly be added as drivable in a future expansion to the Red Line route which would feature the Blue and Green Lines as well as the mini Waterfront Line in which the Green and Blue lines sometimes terminate into.

    Scenarios could include extra evening sports runs which would feature packed cars(not sure if its possible, but packed as in standing passengers), snow storms, single tracking due to maintenance(currently a plague on Cleveland RTA rail lines), and getting retired rail cars to the chopping block(located between Brook Park Station and the Airport)

    There is also much graffiti along this line, I wouldnt expect exact replication but some kind of generic graffiti could be displayed along this route.

    Maybe also introduce a keybind that needs to be pressed at a certain time to announce next station and approaching station?
