    So we're glad that the NEC New York route was made but it is lacking a few things. For example theres no commuter trains, the keystone only runs to Newark Penn Station when in reality it also stops at Newark Liberty International Airport,and theres no extension going south either towards New Brunswick or Trenton. What I am proposing is either and extension or a stand alone route of the NEC New York City-Trenton to be made for TSW featuring NJ Transit trains such as the ABB ALP-44 with Comet IIM through Comet V coaches/cab and the General Electric Arrow III emu railcars. Also when it comes to Amtrak train this would be the perfect route to feature the Acela Express, Hhp-8, AEM-7, and the ex metroliner cab car from the NEC New York route. If this extension/route was to be made it would be the perfect balance of both regional and commuter rail service to operate with a variety of different trains, this route/possible expansion from a business prospective would be a cash cow just like the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) route was and now would be the perfect time to make this into a reality. 363522EC-3B27-4FB0-B82B-0D5399053BB2.jpeg 778A0CC1-43C4-45F5-8DFD-CF05B0C57EC3.jpeg 24E14691-6AF0-4F38-AB43-BC7B734B1A58.jpeg 5E92BA9D-0698-4661-B6AF-2364F35A7DBC.jpeg 0A1F0D47-46E5-47BE-800A-D8D31A53EF2F.jpeg

    A CSX Genset could be included for switching and freight services.

    Honestly if that is done, technically a number of NJ Transit lines and CSAO lines would HAVE to be added if this is gonna go to Trenton...Possibly in pieces but it just wouldn't make sense to go to Trenton but NOT Philadelphia...You have a whole (CSAO) chemical coast that must be included as well as 1CSX sub, 1NS sub and 3-4 CSAO subs spread about through the NEC corridor between NYC and Trenton that not only can't be ignored but also would be horrendously RAM and HDD space consuming. Also once in Trenton, consider SEPTA trains must be added, CSAO locomotives and freight must be added, the big CSAO yard with NS and CSX locomotives in Newark have to be added besides the NJT/AMTRAK equipment...This is the reason why certain parts/places/stations are NOT included, for example Newark Liberty, requires the CSAO yard at Oak Island. This route alone would be more space consuming than all the routes included with TSW 2020(that's why it was decided against which bothered me about Train Simulator, some stuff was just kept out completely

    the least they couldve done was add some njt commuter trains like the alp-44 with some comets and the arrow III mu but thing i dont like is how they dont let you run the keystone to and from Newark Airport

    As a route extension for the NorthEast Corridor it should go from Newark Airport to Washington DC and also adding the New Rochelle to Boston. This would complete the full NorthEast Corridor line
