If they do make a new version of the New York to Philadelphia Northeast Corridor, the line to Hoboken Terminal and the Princeton Branch Line need to be included for sure.Īs for a section they never done before, it has to be the New Haven to Boston section, regardless of which game it's made for. Since Dovetail Games announced they're doing an improved version of the Woodhead Line set in the 1970s, it would be cool if they did the same treatment for that for the New York to Philadelphia Northeast Corridor and having it set in the 1970s with Penn Central and Amtrak equipment or in the 1950s with Pennsylvania Railroad equipment.

Thoughts/opinions are of course welcomed. With a bonus Amtrak Amfleet/Keystone cab car included.

I personally would really like either of the options or all of them to be realized for TS2018 sometime in the not so distant future.īut for the sake of getting the most out of the NJT equipment, I would really love to see the NY-Philadelphia section get redone to current quality of the route offerings. But the progress of those are still up in the air. Or New Haven to Boston which has never been officially created in any train sim. They could also do the southernmost section from Philadelphia to Washington DC. It gives it so much character and life to the NEC that seems to be missing in the NY to Philly section.įor a new section. The included loco, the now retired AEM-7’s have sort of gotten a bit of attention to, but the somehow the inclusion of the passenger views for the Amfleet coaches couldn’t have at least been ported over from the latest versions offered in other routes?! The little bit of the corridor that was implemented in the NJCL route showcased just how much more awesome it would look, given that much attention to detail. As it’s not as good as what has been showcased in route offerings within the last few years. granted this route was done well before the inclusion of the google maps integration, and it simply just looks bland, empty. Why do I feel the NEC should have at least gotten a complete remake?! Well, there’s just a load of inaccuracies for the route. With the inclusion of the Princeton branch. But here’s what I felt should have been done back when the first NEC route was temporarily taken down from steam:ġ) I felt it should have been rebuilt from the ground up to suit the NJT stock that was released a few months prior.Ģ) It should have been extended from the NJCL route and at least done all the way to Trenton or Philadelphia.

I know we’ve gotten a few routes featuring the NEC in some shape or form. Okay, so the title is stated as is for reasons I will explain in the article.
