New (expanded) route announcement: https://train-simulator.com/going-to-gilroy/

New Route Expansion and the Caltrain EMD F40PH-2CAT and NS Cab Car
The F40PH-2CAT

And Cab Car

Very cool! I love commuter rail and urban / industrial switching so this should tick both boxes for me.

Definitely hyped for this, but I wish that we were getting F40PH-2Cs.

Some people are just never satisfied.

Personally, I'm more excited for the San Francisco pier district than the Gilroy extension. That opens up an opportunity for operation of SF Belt Railway's alco S-2's!

I wonder if this 'Extension' will install a new instance of the complete route
Like the North Jersey Coast Line & North Jersey Coast & Morristown Lines and the Bristol - Cardiff & Bristol - Swansea routes

The new stock included looks quite nice. I am also excited about the switching opportunities available in the extension.

Missing the cabin view now

Yes I am with you 100% on that!

This shows why starting at the 11 minute mark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VOnTZKSSgM&t=1s

There is a reason the F40PH-2CAT was selected over the F40PH-2C. According to the official CalTrain site (http://www.caltrain.com/about/statsandr ... leets.html) more -2CATs are on the roster while only 3 -2Cs are present.

Based on past experience it is very likely.

Oh this is going to be real nice.

It mentioned in the article it will be out as a stand alone route, just like they did with the Morristown add-on.

I wonder if it's still the whole route plus the addition as a stand alone do I still need both installed? Can't I copy the scenarios from the shorter route to the bigger route? Then remove the original smaller route to save hard drive space? Sounds like I have some experimenting to do.
