Nj Transit/metro North Port Jervis/bergen Line

In Hoboken, NJ this line travels north up the NJT Bergen line till Suffern, NY from there Metro North owns the line till Port Jervis, NY on the way to Port Jervis the line crosses the Moodna Viaduct, a bridge that is over 100 years old right next to Salisbury Mills/Cornwall station

 

There's a workshop version of this route by the Minermen, which I would strongly recommend getting. You need the North Jersey Coast Line, Sherman Hill, and Munich-Augsburg. It's found here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=265923409&searchtext=bergen

 

i know i have it but there are some missing details and doesn't go all the way to Port Jervis

 

I think that the eventual plan is to bring it to Port Jervis in due course. Some of the areas around Hoboken are a bit lacking in detail, yes, but as you go north the quality gets better.

 

I had the Workshop version of this route at one point. It looked horrible and it caused a dump crash every time I went to drive on it. Sometimes it was only about 30 seconds into driving too. I'd still rather have DTG make the LIRR or the Hudson Line, but this is a good suggestion for another NJT route. There needs to be more American commuter routes. All these mountain passes are getting old.

 

That is already being made on the steam workshop.

 

Look at the comments above

 

Very true I’m always wanting to drive on Stevens pass since it has all the mountins but when do it get board

 

I find Donner to be the most boring of the mountain pass routes. Sherman Hill isn't one for scenery either. Stevens Pass is good and Feather River Canyon is good, but it's like come on. Enough mountain passes. We want some commuter routes.

 

It seems that they find doing mountainous routes simpler ones because it's much easier to just plop hills and trees than to place roads and buildings. Hence why there are more of those than commuter based routes. I agree it sucks because though I do like variety, I'm more of a commuter guy.

As for the lack of detail in the Workshop version of the route. I'm not sure what version of the route you guys are playing, but that route is beautifully and heavily detailed. And while I do also get the dump file as well. That, I believe is partly due to the game itself, as well as the number of resources the route uses. I hope there is a fix for it somehow. And I don't think you'll get a more detailed version out of DTG, to be honest. Though if they do it (which is doubtful), it will hopefully be easier performance wise.

 

C&O 614 would go well with the Port Jervis line... oh well.

 

Yeah, I mean you can only drive at 25 mph through the woods for 3 or 4 hours so many times. Yeah they have their highlights like the Cascade Tunnel etc, but the time it takes to get to those highlights is just plain tedious.
