HUGE UPDATE: Brand new models, textures, effects, stats, and more.

The horn on the train when exiting the station is incredibly annoying. I had to unsub from this, please fix the horn, it shouldn't sound like the engineer is holding on the horn button.

Any way I could get the texture files for this and the modern bilevel? I want to give the Sounder livery a go.

@nhatanh0475 - none of my Workshop assets are going behind a paywall - you'll always be able to download this one and dozens like it that I made without needing to pay at all.

Oh so you allow this to be putted behind a pay wall hah? So how much money did you get? Enough to delete this?
I like, no I love your asset. The thing I don't like is seeing it behind paywall.

This train is also used by exo in montreal

it would be cool if there was one with the F59PH locomotive

Whats the passenger count?

@Frontrunnerfun12 - I'll have a version with a better locomotive for that out soon, then I'll start thinking about releasing the files for retexturing.

I want to recolor the train to look like this

@Frontrunnerfun12 - This train is not officially released for retexturing. I put that warning in a long time ago when my trains were being exported with modtools and retextured without my permission. I guess you can still do that.

how can I retexture this train

Would love to see a cruise ship thats realistic and larger!

Would love to see this in a GO transit skin, Old and new Metrolinx livery.

Even better with a MP40 or a F59PH

Can we get a CalTrain skin? Could be cooler.

@fatfluffycat - I doubt it - there's already a great one on the workshop. I want to move away from local commuter trains as well - there are a whole bunch of trains I have on my list that I want to do before another commuter rail set (barring any sudden inspiration).

Will you make the MP40?

danjbraun, not sure where you're getting that information. BNSF & Union Pacific run almost the entire rail from mid-America to the West Coast. Mid-America is controlled mainly by CSX, who also runs into Mexico. NS & CN controls the vast majority of the rail from the Mid-America to the East Coast. Maybe you're focusing on passenger trains?

NO ORDER all trains except for city are run by Amtrak

Because Americans need things to be big or else it's not American.

bsquiklehausen - Thanks!!! I didn't know that! Isn't it also true that in the US there are much more private companies running the railroads compared to Europe. For example, all passenger trains in my country (Belgium) are run by the NMBS, a government institution.

ORDER69 - American trains generally have to travel longer distances than European ones. They also share tracks with massive freight trains, and the federal safety standards mean that the passenger trains must be able to withstand a crash from a freight train, making them potentially larger than they have to be.

Why are all American trains so huge compared to European ones? Still an awesome model!!!

Needs more guns or else it is not truley American.

cool

Ahem, I got excited about the Big Boy idea and forgot to say: this is simply marvelous work, well done.

+1 on the Big Boy request! I know it's not modern in the least, but with Union Pacific doing the restoration on 4014 it is totally viable as an excursion train.

oh and you can use CR as a logo for CimRail by the way.

Alright fair enough. I was just hoping for a old and new model, so that I can have a mixed fleet in my city.

nice train i love the f59

Any tips for making models or texturing in cities skylines?

Ok I'll look into doing some retextures or trying to do them myself.

The LIRR/Metro North multiple units all look and feel fairly similar to each other - I may make one set that takes design elements from each, but I doubt I'll make every option. I also would not texture them as LIRR/Metro North - they'd likely also be CimRail or similar.

As far as Australian trains go, I will certainly consider them - part of the reason I do American trains is because they are what I want in my cities, and many of the designs you shared are quite ugly. You may also get good results trying to retexture some European equipment - the XPT would be a perfect candidate for a texture job of the British Intercity 125.

if you do ez8 request can you do the lirr m1 m3 and m7 to

EMD GP40 locomotive with typical passenger cars

Well I live in Australia (which is even more under represented in the workshop) and I would like to see trains like the hunter railcar, xpt, nr class, 82 class, g set or xr class. These may not be too challenging for you because the diesel trains are similar designs to those in American. Although if you only do American designs may I recommend the DDA40x or the 4-8-8-4 big boy maybe.

RaginRaptor - I try to stick to American designs because it's what I know best, and pretty severely under represented here in the Skylines workshop. With that said - what do you want to see?

nice work !

Metro north M1, M2, M7, M8, please

Are you intending on only doing American trains because if you allow requests I have some trains that I could recommend although they are not American.

This is awesome,I ride this type of train all the time, and now my CIMs can too. YOU ARE AWESOME!!!

They hold 50 each - if I am remembering correctly. It's on the low side, but prototypical capacities are very overpowered for stock populations in this game.

How many passengers can each of those cars hold irl?

damn great work once again!

Wow. Just wow. This is awesome work. Thank you.

Its called "MoreTrainTracks"

dgiminia, there's already a mod for that.

And great looking train! Can't wait to try this out in my city.

I'll look into props - one of the potential issues is that vehicles and props use different emissive maps for some reason - these'd either have no lighting or I'd have to redo several maps.

As far as removing power lines, there's already a mod that does that, though the name is escaping me at the moment.

also sticking with the american train concept, possibly make a mod that gets rid of power lines over rails

yes we need these train cars for rail yards
