Finally some time to work in Trainz.

Some trackwork and roadwork has been completed along with the terrain a bit. The west end will have a staging yard and a portal for those that wants to setup a few freight trains to run.

will the gates be ATLS or TRC gates? the ATLS gates on the Harvard Sub (or as area railfans call it the "Muscle Line") was an issue i ran into where the gates would simply not go back up and shut off when the train clears the crossing

Hey Andrew,

The route will use ATLS for all of the crossings due to the custom options it offers along with the ability to tie them into the traffic signals when the crossing is activated. The reason being for the most part is, it stays together while TRC for some reason, falls apart if a massive SP comes out or causes the entire route in Surveyor to lag but be okay in Driver (I don't know how this is possible but this was my experience with one of my routes).

The Harvard Sub, I'm going to probably assume this was a custom session made and not one of the included ones but the trains do have to run through all 4 triggers for the crossing to work correctly and if 1 is missed, it won't work as expected.
The best places with placing trains will be in the yards or in the staging yards and run the trains to the route spots instead of just placing them down.

There are some commands on the DLS that you can download if not already installed and issue them for the crossings in question. You will however need to know the channel.
<kuid2:76656:80000:2> ATLS Re-Set Command TRS19
<kuid2:76656:80004:2> ATLS LEAVING Method TRS19
<kuid2:76656:80003:2> ATLS ARRIVING Method TRS19
