Dtg, The Timetable For Harlem Line Is Broken & This Is Totally Random

I've finally had my first AI stall. My train was 2325 deadhead 0728 GC to Crestwood, all went well until I needed to crossover at Crestwood. The interlocking signal stayed red. When I checked the map I found an south facing AI stalled just north of Crestwood blocking my path. There was about 6 AI stuck behind. When jumping into the cab of the stalled AI I checked it's timetable and found it had been sitting there since around 0725. I don't think it had "woke up" Ie. It hadn't starting moving at the point I started the scenario. redrev1917 you might want to try this to see if you have the same problem.

 

This is a great run, provided you spawn at GCT and take it over. Then, all works well! See this post in the Awesome Setvicrs thread:

The Crestwood Turn on the Harlem Line

There is a fantastic ECS run with the M3A on Harlem Line:
Train 2325 GCT to Crestwood at 07:28.

But,there's a catch. If you launch directly into the service, you will encounter an AI blockage at the end. The AI trains are tangled just north of Crestwood and I think it is a southbound express service holding things up. However, if you spawn on foot at GCT, the run plays out perfectly.

So, spawn at GCT at 07:25 and head west up the the stairs to track 40. Walk/run to the front and take over the service. There is plenty of time to get there and get things set up before the 07:28 departure.

Be ready to hit the acknowledge button and brakes repeatedly. You arrive at Crestwood just a little after 8. If you return to free roam at the end of the service, you can shut down your cab and head to the other end for the southbound run. That run is Train 326, Crestwood to GCT described in the post above.

All in all it is a fantastic round trip that starts on foot in the depths of GCT and ends in the seat parked on a storage track in the depths of GCT.
