    This route is 14 miles long and consists of 21 stations:
    - St. George Ferry Terminal (Southern end)
    - Tompkinsville
    - Stapleton
    - Clifton (short platform, first 3 cars (R44) or 4 cars (R211) in the southern direction only)
    - Grasmere
    - Old Town
    - Dongan Hills
    - Jefferson Av
    - Grant City
    - New Dorp
    - Oakwood Heights
    - Bay Terrace
    - Great Kills
    - Eltingville
    - Annadale
    - Hugenot
    - Prince's Bay
    - Pleasant Plains
    - Richmond Valley (short platform, first 3 cars (R44) or 4 cars (R211S)
    - Arthur Kill
    - Tottenville (Northern end)

    This train line uses two types of train class: The R44 (built in the 1970s, numbers 388-435, 436-466 (even numbers), and new R211Ss (numbered 100-174, in five-car sets). The even-numbered R44s are cab-cars that can be in the middle of a consist or normally at either end of the train. Both trains use an Automatic Train Operation (ATO) signalling system.

    One major train depot and one siding are used to store the trains. They are:
    - Clifton Yard, situated east of Clifton, having 5 tracks
    - Tottenville Yard, situated right next to the station, having 3 tracks.

    This train line operates on a peak express service schedule, running non-stop express northbound between St. George Ferry Terminal and Great Kills weekdays during both AM and Rush Hour, and between New Dorp and St. George Terminal weekdays during AM Rush Hour only.

    I hope this gets considered to be added to the game. [​IMG]

    This may still come up against the transit operators not being prepared to agree licensing, access or depiction of their operations and procedures in a game/sim.

    In contrast, the LIRR Commuter DLC uses some of the procedures/depiction of operations as it does irl so I see no issue here
