Route Morristown Line New York & Hoboken - Dover - Feedback

That’s not a bug. The daily timetable often extends past midnight, however when you spawn in free roam past midnight, it’s always beginning of the “day”. Hope this makes sense.

 

I guess it makes some sense, yet NJT's service day doesn't always align with the calendar day, and I strongly believe that spawning in to Hoboken Terminal at midnight should show some liveliness like at 23:55. I find it jarring to see train in certain places ~90 minutes early, yard movements being skipped, and an entire consist being substituted (3 MLs + ALP-45 for 4 Arrow IIIs). NJT has the least amount of train activity on the Hoboken Division between circa 01:30 and 04:30, per the 2015 Hoboken Division ETTs and my own experience.
It'd be at least nice to see the in-game timetable accounting for that, especially if start the game at 23:55 and play through until morning.

 

Anyway, the issue with XB04 is that it spawns with Arrows on an unelectrified track. As a player service, it's extremely difficult to complete, and you have to rely on the slight decline of the yard track to get into the passenger terminal's train shed. As an AI service, however: The AI driver moves it out of Days Yard as if the train has full traction power (the motors make noise and the train runs at 15 mph). Even more jarring is that the pantographs on each pair spring up as they come under the wire, and the interior lights come on in turn. (Video below)
