New York Division - Croxton Ordinary

[minerman146]

That's being worked on right now ... IT will be out by 10pm Eastern

You mean for the Bergen, but not possible for the Croxton as a WS finalized route.

For the Croxton route - I haven't finalized it yet... as I type I just made the Meadows in a test run

So I chose another QD run, Hillburn Yard Westbound to the north up to CY.
In the spot shown in the screenshot there is a change from 60 to 35 mph right in that blinking green light. The SL looks totally normal because of the diverging tracks.

Looking at the next shot, you can see the speed limit is set by a short stretch of track.

The limit is not fixed by the light and the train acquires the new speed almost at the end of that stretch.
However I can´t see the speed limit in the HUD tape and I can´t explain why.

ROUTE UPDATE***FINALIZATION PENDING***
This is it - the big show. I will do one more update (for more cool scenery additions) for the next 90 minutes. Please do the QDs ,drive around, and TEST YOUR SCENARIOS!
If you haven't figured out what is going on, here is the skinny, were finalizing a working copy of the Bergen to build scenarios on it and have some fun already. Also some EL DLC is coming our way and we need a route to operate them on.

Wow after 33 months - that was weird to do... Ok let the fun begin!

Ha this isn't a WIP anymore.
Mr. Moderator please move this thread to the plush, finished route area.
(I hope the new room has table service)

Hey MM,

Just wanted to let you know I encountered a problem yesterday with the QD from Jersey City-Suffern. I believe it was CP Croxton that had a red signal against me even though the path was lined correctly and would not allow permission to pass. I started a QD from Suffern-Hoboken but only got a few minutes into it before I had to leave for afternoon. I will report back on that QD later today when I get back to it.

Also having this issue. Hopefully can get resolved.

I can say that this issue has been fixed as I just made it all the way through Croxton.

I heard, testing it out now!

I am pleased to report all is going well with the Croxton Ordinary. Scenarios are made already and some are being developed. I have driven 2 NJT ones out of HB - very nice - the route meets my expectations. I am going resume work on the Bergen in the next day or so. This whole experience, aside from the 3am sessions for 5 days straight, has been truly rewarding. People I never heard of before are looking at the finalized version for the first time and they love it! Woo hoo!

Darn it all - the Ordinary and the Bergen has a bad track flaw.
During work I must of clicked Super elevate on the track going into Croxton from HX .. Diverging signal stays Red and will not let you pass in a scenario
spent 3 hours isolating the issue. I got a rail break.

Another 2 hours to fix...

Another 1 hours to fix recurring track brake as the switch was close to Super Elevated track.

*WORK AROUND*
I just tested this solution:

For ingress to Croxton Yard - From Rutherford OR the NJ&NY Branch:
STEP: Route the Train to Track 1 at HB East Track 1. This will give you a Green to the Yard!
If you desire AI, have it run on track 2 !

I will do the repairs and additional testing on the Bergen. Unfortunately I cant repair the Croxton Ordinary.
MM

THANK GOODNESS for all the markers I lay down at the interchanges!
