    You know how the snow spray in tsw3 and tsw4 from the tail and side of the train. How about water spray in tsw5. Yeah that right water spray for tsw5. For example oh there a puddle of water on the side kinda deep let say a train run right through it (splash) gosh I just got wet by a fast moving train speeding in due to heavy rain. Not only heavy rain what if there just a puddle of water on the side of the track another way of getting wet by a moving train. Water spray could be interesting kick from the back just like snow. I may want to add (windshield washer water) from the wiper. Do you want to clean your windshield with water while your train in motion. What do you think about this for tsw5.

    Trains do not run through puddles. Standing water in the track is very bad and typically only happens when there’s flooding or some kind of slide or washout that blocks the normal drainage. Train crews would be notified in advance, and the area would receive a slow order or some other form of emergency speed restriction.

    I have taken a train through flooding twice, and both times we passed through at walking speed, with the conductor and brakemen standing beside the track keeping a close eye on the wheels, ready to call for a stop if anything went wrong.

    The snow spray looks awful so I’m not confident water spray would look good tbh
