Metro-North New Haven Line Route Released

it looks nice can't wait to try it!

These guys really did a terrific job on this. Thank you both.

Now my amtraks can run in CT.

Job well done to everyone who worked on this project! It's been hard, very hard work I'm sure, something I would never have been able to accomplish. Thank you to everyone that's worked on it!

THIS IS A BLESSING!!! Thank you very much and keep up the great work!!

I seriously wonder how people are so amazed.. once you're outside NYC, the route looks nothing better than the MS standard routes. I like the M2 trainset though.

Frankly I'm amazed at all the routes done at today's standard. I know they are a lot of work and so far, it's more than I've done. I appreciate it very much.

One of the requirements for the default activities with the route is NALW's NEC Megapack

thank you.

i am having a problem finding the nalw nec mega pack. could you give me more info

Search for file necpak01.zip in the file library above.

thank you Christopher.

hi again, i am getting a shape file error "a1to-2mstrs. not found."

I'm having a little difficulty. After installing, MSTS opens but the "Drive a Train" option is not available. I looked and there are indeed some activities, services and paths in the route. I have the required rolling stock (are there also required consists?). I also can't seem to open the route in Activity Editor. Haven't yet checked it out with route riter. I did re-install. I'm on Windows 7 . . . permissions seem fine and I'm just copying a stripped mini-route that served me fine in other instances.

Any thoughts about what's going on?

thanks
Christopher

hi Christopher,
do you have conbuilder? if not, run route riter 1st. see what error messages there are. there is a program msts activity anaylist. may give some insight.

Did you run routeconfig.exe? you can find it in:
>Start Menu\Programs\Michael Kurras and Ryan Murphy\The Metro North Route

This software patches the route with either visible or invisible catenary wires (your choice which) and is required to be run as part of the installation process.

This information is also located in the README file

Same here

Thank you Micheal - that did the trick.

I DID run the route config program when I first installed it . . . but when it opened and asked which wire option I wanted, I thought "I think I'll leave it default as built and see how the creators set it up," so I didn't choose either of them and shut the program. It never occurred to me that would introduce complications.
