They're at capacity, and since I don't want to/can't make them every 15 minutes they need to have the capacity they do.

However, I could just decrease the passenger generation factor - maybe I should do that. But then the commuter trains will be rather short.

How do you like my screenies?

i would make more use of station grf's (non-track tiles)

New game started. This time, amenities for passengers have been provided.

First is the huge Roscoe King St station, for now very underused (only one intercity and one commuter line). It has a connecting streetcar service running through Roscoe. To prepare for the expected future onslaught of passengers once more trains call here, two identical buildings have been constructed to serve the customers.



Here you see the intercity express leaving Roscoe and passing the maintenance shed as well as the orbital highway. It is not yet open, so there are no cars on it. The commuter line diverges to the bottom of the screenshot. We will follow it first.



This is Gunworth Falls, the first town along the commuter line. An outbound train is just entering the station. Also visible is Cadwood, the first double-tracked section of the line.



A few uninteresting stations later, we arrive at Gafingbourne Bridge. Just outside the station, we see two trains passing. This is the only other double-tracked location on the route.



Here is the terminal, Fort Sondworth. It is the only commuter station with an enclosed station building, because this town is the biggest along the line.



Heading along the intercity line now, we first arrive at Invewood, where a train to Mundingham is just leaving. This station was built with the entrance to the parking lot on the far end of the station, which angered locals. This, combined with the fact that the current station building is insufficient for such a city, means that a new one will be built and the old one will be replaced with parking.



In Mundingham, the temporary terminal of the line, the builders got it right from the start - parking on both sides, building in the middle. This is what Invewood will look like when the construction there is finished.

Wow, those are VERY nice stations!

Thank you.

Here are some more. First, the network has expanded, and Roscoe King St station is nearing its capacity - soon it will be time to build the second terminus in the city. But for now, it has been rebuilt, with a huge station building and parking, which was not present before.



The multitude of new lines serving King St has created quite a tangle of lines outside the city. Here you can see a Railbus and a commuter train in the midst of the junction.



This is Fort Sondworth, formerly the quiet terminus of a commuter line, but now a bustling transfer station on a high-speed mainline. Its parking has been expanded and it has received a new station building (barely visible in the picture).



This is Sarnfield, the end of the aforementioned high-speed line. A famous Dutch architect was hired to create the station you see here, to great acclaim.



This is Sondstone Bay, the second-to-last station on the other express line. Every other train from Roscoe turns here, as you can see from the departure board. The line continues one stop towards Chentburg, which sees an hourly service.



Finally, a geographically-accurate map of the network. Feel free to request areas for screenshots.

Another line has been built from Roscoe King St. This is most likely the final line that will serve that terminal, due to lack of capacity.

This line, because it has only three stations, including King St, is equipped with Railbuses.

Here is the first station, where two 'trains' are scheduled to pass. Note the left-hand running, built to allow Roscoe-bound trains to enter the station at speed instead of slowing for the switch.



This is the last stop, not too far from Getborough. Since this picture and the one before were taken at the same time, the train in the upper left shows the proximity of the two stations.



Finally, the (again) expanded junction, where three Railbuses pass each other.



Please comment. Any requests for screenies?

And the same scene, this time at night. A game is about to begin at the local stadium.

Loving that night shot and the tidy, realistic style - could I trouble you for a full GRF list?

Sure, here you go - be warned that this disorganized mess has way more grfs than you can see in the screenshots.



Here's a bonus shot at night. See if you can find the screenshot it's based off earlier in the thread.

The largest station on a busy night.

Wundworth, Gafingbourne Bridge and junction between it, please

Maybe the map is unclear because the tracks are so close, but there is no junction between Wundworth and Gafingbourne Bridge. Here's what's there, however - in this picture you can see a Roscoe-bound train arriving at Gafingbourne Bridge.




Assuming you mean Roscoe King St, just as the helicopter camera approached, the news spread that the power had failed in Roscoe. The quick-thinking power workers soon restored power to the streetlights and gave limited power to the station. The trains themselves are not affected because their catenary system is separate from Roscoe's. The streetcars, however, are stranded until they regain power. The one building you see with lights has an emergency generator.


The real reason was because I simply don't have the time to draw lights into every single building. That's why I prefer night-ifying non-city screenshots.

Finally, after much anticipation, the second Roscoe terminal has been opened. It has an express line and a super-express line, although more are planned.

This is the new terminal, Roscoe State Street. At first glance, this station may seem like a step back in development from King St, since there is no parking here. This was, however, due to the lobbying of those who wished to see classical architecture in their city; after King St was built with this design and then replaced, they vowed to have the next station have this design. The entire process has made King St Station's parking even more overcrowded, however, since people park there and ride the streetcar to State St to catch their train.



The highway was set to be opened soon but city planners realized that the railroad had no way of getting its trains between the new terminus and the depot. This was quickly fixed by building a new non-revenue rail line in the median of the orbital expressway, the opening of which was postponed to permit the construction.



The express line has three intermediate stations between its termini; the super-express goes nonstop between those stations. One of the bypassed stations was located far enough out of the way that a direct bypass was built; the other two were aligned such that the super-express was routed to go through them. The idea of 200-mph trains passing through stations with passengers mere meters away proved dangerous, so an order was issued to make sure no passengers were on the platform when the super-express passed through.

Here is Sunnley, the junction between the express line and super-expres bypass and also the site of one of the aforementioned stations. A Roscoe-bound express is seen entering the station.
