Interchanges with the NEC in Secaucus?

Manhatten ferries across the Hudson, Tribecca skyline (famous for its illumination at night from many movies and upmarket TV serials), Statue of Liberty visible, should be a sure seller in the USA.

Only that locomotive seems new, the commuter cars probably not. Will we finally get some commuter EMU's that could be useful on the NEC (NYC-Philly) as well.

Licensed and all? Or are we to be suprised with blanked out panels come the release?

Naw, It will be licensed upon release. I can't imagine them advertising that with logos, only to actually take it away upon release. In all honesty, I would have been happy that they're even releasing anything close to NJT, Routes and rollingstock.. As we would have talent within the community that would have remedied those anyway.. I can't wait to see more of this. This will be happiest I will have spent money on any TS related DLC since anything New York - New Haven related, mainly the route.

It has happened before, several times even, that DTG advertised a product and couldn't deliver it as advertised due to not obtaining the license at the last moment.

We'll have to wait and see how this NJT license turns out.

I think, or would hope that was a lesson learned, by now. I doubt at this point they would put logos on something only to retract them close to release. Even if this was advertised and sold unbranded, I'd still be quite happy. Anything closed to what is asked, is better than getting nothing at all.

I used to run this line! It hops onto the NEC at Rahway then from there it can go to either NYC or Hoboken. Trains from Bayhead with Diesels usually went to Hoboken Terminal and trains from Longbranch went to NYC. This is before the dual modes. The wire ends at Longbranch. Also as a note, The line has two different wire voltages. 12kv from the NEC to Mattawan then 25kv from there to Longbranch. Its a nice route to run and at night you have Conrail (shared assets ) running freight to different areas. This is awesome!

Awesome Indeed. I do hope they include Penn station as well for that line.

Well they said they always was working on NJT equipment. Well, it ONLY took them 3 years for them to actually do something.

That red tape is something else. But, at least we're finally getting something.
