    With our latest update for Train Sim World: Northeast Corridor New York, the highly anticipated Service Mode CSX freight operations are now yours to drive!

    Please find full details below:

    All new services have been added utilising the included CSX GP38-2, and also the CSX GP40-2 (available separately), depicting a “day in the life” for a CSX Engineer in New York.

    The new services add around another 10 hours of unique freight-orientated gameplay to Train Sim World: Northeast Corridor New York; you’ll manage trash trains between Oak Point and Harlem, sort manifest trains and deliver freight cars around Oak Point and Hunts Point yards, move trains between Fresh Pond Junction and Oak Point and do various switching moves in all the yards.

    Overview
    Trash Train Services
    • F01 - F04: manage trash trains between Harlem and Oak Point with F04 taking a train of trash cars out to Fresh Pond to the barges.
    • F08: deliver empty trash cars up from Fresh Pond to Oak Point later in the day
    • F09: a final trash train service later in the day.
    Manifest Freight Services
    • F05: primarily an inbound manifest AI-only train that comes in across the Oak Point Link, this then leads in to most of the following services which move these cars around the yards.
    • F06: a big Oak Point switching exercise.
    • F07: delivering the cuts of cars you sorted in F06
    Fresh Pond Freight Services
    • F10: (in six parts) take a manifest train down to Fresh Pond Junction in the first three, then the last three bring another one back up to Oak Point.
    • F11: what happens in the middle - where the switcher at Fresh Pond Junction takes F10 (first half) train and moves it to east yard, and brings up another train from east yard and makes it ready for F10 part 2.
    There are three major switching services, F06, F07 and F11, along with numerous runs between Fresh Pond and Oak Point that cross the amazing Hell Gate Bridge. You'll work in all four yards and use a mix of one and two locos for the various work shifts.

    Substitution is of course supported, you'll find CSX GP38-2s and GP40-2s (if you own the appropriate add-ons) swapping in randomly in various liveries each time you run. Furthermore, the whole thing can run on its own - sit and watch the AI go about any or all of the services on its own, or observe the action in the yards as you cruise on by in Amtrak ACS-64 Northeast Regional services.
