Check NY routes created by Approach Medium. They are on his website and they are a very reasonable priced.

Approach Medium also has a great YouTube channel where he showcased his routes has did some great tutorials. Since he is a New Yorker he does a heck of a job replicating the locations he's been around through his life.

Well in that I have no idea. This could be an opportunity for you to take your own route build for a NYC mainline. There's probably thousands of photos out there from different eras that could inspire you. I'm probably the most noob that ever noobed in Trainz but that never stopped me from obsessing over my routes despite my b***ing on the forum how much the game irritates, or RTFMing the crap out of the Wiki making me want to quit daily. There is something very satisfying about building the route you want. You may only fancy just being a driver, but there's nothing to stop you from building that dream NYC mainline. Imagination is a terrible thing to watse in my book.

Joe (Approach Medium) inspired me a lot in my very short time with Trainz 22 PE (I've only managed a meager 2450+ hours in just 1 year of constant playing). I picked up a lot of cool tricks from him. Though in those early vids he only had Surveyor 1.0, but I figured out the techniques for Surveyor 2.0 because I was bent on doing it. Eventually I figured out my own techniques (especially yard ladders, signals, rolling hills and so on).

I learned something back 22 years ago in college from my business managment instructor. He told me "if you want to succeed, you've got to surround yourself with the best."

The best routes come from your imagination, and taking chances. So again. Build that NYC high speed and freightline how you want it to be. There are no perfect routes, and the only bad routes are the ones that never get built.

Well said. I wish there was a +100% button and a checkmark for approval. As you said, you have to just take your imagination and go with it. With Trainz, as much of a pain in the rear as it can be is great for this because we can do things and not worry or care about spending hundreds on switches, flex-track, plywood, and everything else only to find out something doesn't work. All we've done is waste a bit of disk space, time, and pixels.

My inspiration came from George Fisher. His style and track laying inspired me to learn to do better when I first started. Eventually, I was doing things on my own with his style embedded in mine. This is what a good teacher does even though I never learned from him directly. George is around 86 now and retired from Trainz.

Yes

<kuid:-12:1002> Harlem Line
<kuid2:155325:100013:1> Harlem Line Multiplayer Session

This route will report as faulty, with the following errors

- <kuid:-12:1002> : VE194: Tag 'region' does not contain a valid kuid: USA
- <kuid:-12:1002> : VE45: The tag '0' is not permitted within a container of type 'map'.
- <kuid:-12:1002> : VE45: The tag 'thumbnail' is not permitted within a container of type 'map'.
- <kuid:-12:1002> : VE30: The tag 'info-page' in 'map' refers to a nonexistent file: 'hoopmoopso.html'.
- <kuid:-12:1002> : VE30: The tag 'image' in '0' refers to a nonexistent file: 'images/map.jpg'.

The multiplayer session will also be faulty, due to the route being faulty
It's unfortunate that Auran pretty much dumbed the route and didn't finish it off

What about <KUID:232658:100003> ?

The Harlem Line revamped route works pretty good, I wished it did include Bronxville to Grand Central the missing link Auran left out from the original route

I'm not seeing anything like what you are looking for under NYC, so If I were you I'd start looking under place names or slogans (like "Water Level Route"). You may have to build something yourself I fear. The Whiteshore route from JR while more New England could certainly be NY/PA, just use NYC stock; but it is mostly switching, not mainline running.

I would make my own route but im god awful at building

Practice, practice, practice and open other people's routes to see how they do things. In the beginning, expect to scrap a lot of routes before you have one that you are satisfied enough with to continue working on it.

While working on your own personal route, keep a scrap route that you can use to experiment with and test various assets, textures, and building techniques.

Building a route takes time, patience, and a lot of work to get it to the level you expect it to be. Work slowly and plan on doing things over again if you're not satisfied. My large personal route has taken me a bit more than 20 years to get it to where it is today and has seen many additions, revisions, ongoing continuous renovations, and complete abandonments along the way.
