Railworks America

Against my better judgment, I let RSC's 50% off sale persuade me to buy the GG1 and Northeast Corridor DLCs. This, despite my general dislike for passenger scenarios (meaning that I'm lousy at earning green check-marks in them). So far, I've tried two of the GG1 scenarios and, yep, received 2 red checks for my efforts, but I still feel that I've gotten the last laugh: the last message of the second scenario read, "Well you completed the journey, but improvementsd could be made..." It's amazing how comforting a spelling error can be!

Haha I did exactly the same thing. I got the Acela too. That route has got some problems!

I downloaded RSC's GG1 last week but have been unable to find it on my Horseshoe Curve Route or anywhere on my 2012. I am a geezer and probably did somthing wrong. Should I order it again or notify steam? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

The GG1 appears in 4 scenarios for the NEC route.
Start Railworks,select "Drive by route", select the NEC route, then look for the 4 scenarios below.

From the description in the Steam store:

Includes:
GG1 electric locomotive in PRR livery
P70 passenger coaches

Scenarios:
4 scenarios:
PLEASE NOTE: The GG1 requires the Northeast Corridor Expansion Pack (available separately) in order to play these scenarios.

Electric Revolution: Drive the flagship Congressional Limited Express service from New York to Washington DC, handing over the controls at Philadelphia.

High Voltage: Drive the double headed ‘Pennsylvanian’ express service from Philadelphia to New York Penn.
Run This Town: Today you will be running a main line service with one of the last few GG1s in service on the NEC between 30th Street and New York.

Last Night on Broadway: you will be in charge the last New Jersey Transit service from New York, altered slightly to end at Trenton instead of South Amboy.

Plus 4 free roams

Sure would be nice if those passenger cars had a passenger view!

Watch a movie on your cell phone. That's what most train passengers do nowadays!


Oh and maybe add a crying baby or two in the room.

Ha! Good comments, but I don't even own a cell phone capable of showing movies. When I ride on a train (mostly in Italy, due to America's abandonment of its passenger rail network, I watch the scenery (including, at times, my fellow passengers). And stuff pacifiers into those crying babies mouths, please!

Many thanks for your very descriptive response to my GG1 querey. I guess I didn't have my head on straight not realizing I was hanging around the PRR Horseshoe Route looking for the GG1 instead of going to the NEC Route. Actually, I grew up with the NEC practically in my back yard, in the Trenton to Bristol area. This was my main reason for updating to 2012. Oh well, I know I'll being enjoying the hours ahead and appreciate RSC now more than ever now. Thank You.

Given the attitudes of todays' mothers, I wouldn't dare saying that straight to a mother with a crying baby unless I had at least a couple of bodyguards, and a proper life insurance.... :/
