Train Simulator: NEC: New York-New Haven Route Add-On Reviews

Great route. Bring back the memories from the macy's day parade. This route brings a lot of content! Technically I’ve never had the patience to sit down for around an hour going from New York to new haven but that won’t stop you!

Not too good. Whats modeled is done for the most part nicely, but scenarios are extremely limited and the route only takes about 60min end to end(W/ stops)

It's a nice route. In the first mission you will start in a metro station, and as you leave the tunnels you can see a beautiful new york as you cross a bridge. All missions are working perfectly.

This is a good route if you want to complete your Northeast Corridor collection but it is fairly old. It looks nice and it's a comfy ride throughout the suburbs but can lack detail.

classic american line. slow and boring. mainline that has multiple sections of 50mph areas, screw that. The only scenarios worth plating are the m8 EMU (cheap add on and the big diesel amtrak train to stamford).

I really want to like this route add on. The graphics are good (for Train Sim) smooth train operation. But it has a bug that will through your train into emergency, even if you are pushing the Alerter button. It makes it unplayable and a waste of money.

It's a great route for running Amtrak services like the Vermonter, Acela Express, and the Northeast Regional. My only critisism is that there isn't a scenario that runs from one end of the route to another, but that doesn't mean you can make one yourself.

I do not understand why this route has so few reviews. It is a great route - detailed, VERY well modelled. Good for both passenger and freight operations with a string of beautifully modelled suburban stations and extensive freight yards and industrial sidings throughout. The drive into New York is so good. I highly recommend it. I own a lot of routes, and this may be my favourite.

The part that is available to play is good, the loco, signalling and scenery are well done. However, all is not good. The description talks about GCT and how good it is are irrelevant as they play no part at all in this route, nada, niente, zilch, the square root of jack squat. This is a pity as I was looking forwards to driving it. If you look at the map whilst driving you'll see that GCT is on it and the branch leading from it, but there are no scenarios for it nor is there any chance to explore it via quick drive.

This is my favorite route in Train Simulator thus far: Pros: + Good amount of length + Cab Signaling is amazing + ACS64 is my favorite locomotive I own (unfortunately, in the older NEC it does not run properly due to the ACSES system not being backwards compatible to the older signals). + Assets are the go-to for route construction. + The CSX SD40-2 is a good upgrade of the original Kuju SD40-2, but most of the sounds are still the same. + Unlike another review has stated, this route does have the Harlem Line, but only up to Wakefield and Mount Vernon West. Cons: - ACS64 is not backwards compatible, (but the NYNH signals are). - Only 2 locomotives, commuter service is deserted unless you have some DLC on hand. - LIRR exists in the route, but there is very little evidence of it. These are the only cons I can think of so far. In conclusion I rate this route 7.5/10
