Morning Local Run
Version 1.0
10/11/2012
=================

Brief Description
-----------------
Drive a local SEPTA train from Trenton to 30th Street Station in Philadelphia

Requirements
------------
Railworks Train Simulator 2012/2013
Northeast Corridor DLC - available on Steam
Amtrak Acela Pack DLC - available on Steam

Installation Instructions
-------------------------
1. Unzip the contents of the .zip file (although you probably have already done that, since you are reading this file).
2. Start the utilities program to access the package manager. With Train Simulator 2013, this has been seperated into its own program, and should be located at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\railworks\Utilities.exe (depending on where you installed Steam this is subject to change)
3. Select the 'Package Manager' tab at the top.
4. Click on 'Refresh' and the list of add-on material you have already installed will be listed on the left of the screen.
5. Click 'Install' to install the scenario.
6. Navigate to where you unzipped this directory and select the file "Morning Local Run.rwp"
7. The scenario will automatically install.
8. Start up RailWorks Train Simulator 2013. Your new scenario will be a standard scenario listed under the 'Northeast Corridor' Titled "Morning Local Run"
9. Start driving.

Detailed Description
--------------------
It's Monday morning, and commuters need to get to Philadelphia to go to work. Driving a SEPTA AEM-7, you will pick up commuters starting at Trenton, and continuing until you reach 30th Street station. Due to a shortage of equipment, you will be pulling Amtrak Amfleet coaches.

Inspiration
-----------
This scenario is based on an actual SEPTA timetable. The driver train (SEPTA 9720) is the same as the SEPTA weekday schedule, except for a minute or two here or there. All AI trains you see along the way are also operating according to the actual SEPTA or Amtrak timetable.

Discrepencies
-------------
Unfortunately, some changes had to be made. To make this scenario truly authentic, the following rolling stock is needed, but not yet available for RailWorks:
- AEM-7 with SEPTA paint scheme
- Comet III cars with SEPTA paint scheme
- Silverliner (IV or V) EMU units
- Ex-Metroliner cab car (AI train 'Keystone 640' would actually be in 'push' mode headed north, with a cab car leading. I thought this would look too strange with just a coach leading, so the train as simulated is in 'pull' mode with five coaches)
If these items become available in the future I will update the scenario to include them.

My original design included the SEPTA painted AEM-7 from Smitty's Locomotive Shed (www.smittyslocomotiveshed.com). However, the site owner recently passed away, and it is unknown if this item will be made available in the future. I have since reverted the rolling stock back to the RSC Amtrak AEM-7. If a SEPTA AEM-7 becomes available once again it will be added back to the scenario.

Challenges
----------
Some of the local station stops have very small platforms. Therefore, you have to be very acurate when stopping. You have to stop as close to the end of the platform as possible, to get enough cars to open their doors for passengers. If you overshoot the platform, it will not register as a completed task.
This is a scenario where it is more important to be on time for each stop, not just rush to the next stop and repeat.

Version History
---------------
1.0 - Original Version, exclusively using RailWorks original files and DLC only.

Good luck and enjoy!
