Metro North New Haven Update
Name of Route: Metro North New Haven Update
Version and Release Date: v2 1/30/2021
Description: A massive track overhaul to the original Metro North New Haven route released in 2013. The addition of the Hudson and Harlem lines allow for 3 lanes of traffic to be used at once. Please note that track, speeds and signals are complete while scenery is not. Further updates will be posted once I get enough scenery added. Still a rookie with TSRE5.
Any activities made for previous versions of this route will not work. Please create new paths for these activities. A big hefty thank you to the beta testers. Right now the route is in a stable position to be released. My next big project is adding in the New Cannan and Danbury Branches, then reworking NYP to New Rochelle. Scenery is ongoing and will take years.
