Train Simulator: NEC--Washington to NEW YORK!! Part 12 TRENTON

[trinityct]

Aren't there any rr crossings here like there were in the real Prr? If so, did you do a crossing sequence for any?

[murjax]

@trinityct Sadly there weren't any. I hope they do add them in the next update though, crossings were a significant part of the NEC prior to the 1970s.

They really omitted a lot through Philly...coming into 30st as u said no U of Penn..No I76 No I 95 after Frankford Jct...the 9700 septa Mu commuter, no such animal..9007 Silverliner from the 60s..and the most glaring omission from the entire trip from Washington, never to have past any commuter trains nortbound...But u cant have everything..I give them a A though on the cantenary, bracket and column designs pretty much dead on...

What does the flashing red light means? Overspeeding?

[murjax]

Yes. The speed limit in the route is 100 all over, but in reality it's much higher.

[ElTrenMusical]

Thanks. In reality, I think the max speed they can travel from Newark Penn Station to Trenton and between to Philly is 110. Right? And also, between NY Penn Station and Newark Penn Station they cannot reach more than 100 (mph).

Nice, looks very realistic

[murjax]

Thanks. I think they could've done a better job on Trenton station though.

[TEMPLE7D]

butiful

[trainriders1031]

Route 1 isn't there.

[murjax]

Yeah you're right it isn't. Trenton isn't very realistic, but it's ok. At least they added the Trenton Makes bridge, that was kind of important.

[Great0ne1]

true! at least the track to your right at 8:12 could've been closer to the platform. It just branches off. It looks like that Trenton has only 3 tracks that platform as opposed to the actual 5 (two island and one side)

[murjax]

Maybe this was the setup in the 50s, idk. This route does have a few gliches. If you're going northbound and stop at Rahway, you won't be able to make the next station, Linden. Also if you're going south, you can't stop at Bridesburg.

[Great0ne1]

the 1950s was virtually the same except it wasn't as modern and had low level platforms. I think it's wierd that you can't stop at certain areas lol! So if you stop at Rahway what happens? The train just won't move?

[murjax]

No nothing happens, there just isn't another switch track before Linden. If you stop at Rahway, you pass Linden on the far right local.
