    Last year, the Northeast Corridor was brought to Train Sim World. While it is a nice route, I find it a bit lacking considering it only stretches from New Rochelle to Newark, thus I propose for an extension for the route.

    Now I know that the NEC is a huge route and it cant all fit into one route for TSW, so here are some possible extensions. If the route were to extend north, I would say it would go up as far as New Haven much like the NEC route in Train Simulator. If the route were to extend south, it could go as far as Trenton or maybe even Philadelphia.

    With possible extensions like the ones I've proposed, this can also make way for Acela Express services. When looking at the my proposed extensions, there are a few stops that the Acela Express makes. Those stops are New Haven, Stamford, New York Penn, Newark Penn, Metropark, Trenton, and Philadelphia.

    I hope you all enjoyed this little proposal I made, see y'all next time :)

    Yes, I suggested something similar. I think that, if possible, the NEC map should be Trenton-New Haven. That would allow 2 commuter railroads plus both the Amtrak NE Regional and Acela.

    For freight, the extension needs a CSX Genset and maybe an ET44AH, ES44AH, or SD80MAC.

    I’m not sure if you are aware of this, but I’m part of a group called Northeast Corridor Simulator Development. We will be building the entire NEC when the editor is released.

    That's great if you're on PC, but Dovetail should do this officially to appeal to both people who don't involve with mods and console players. It would widen the market and allow them to profit off of it.

    That's not actually true. There's no limit on route size, it's just a matter of how long it would take to develop compared to the price they could sell it for.

    Yes at least to another mojar city. And the Acela Express.
