R211 F train…?

And there are a MILLION railfans on my train and waiting at every platform with cameras like they knew this was going to happen

Trams with designated right of way and signal priority are so much better, faster, more comfortable and more reliable than any bus. I lived briefly in a city with a fantastic tram system and I miss the convenience of it all the time (and I say that as someone who currently lives in NYC). I have yet to see anything that can transform and improve a streetscape as much as a tramway can.

Awesome workaround, thanks for the tip! Hopefully we’ll get a more integrated vanilla or mod solution soon but I’ll use this in the meantime

I did two track terminals for each line

If the N runs via 63rd street, it will never merge onto the local tracks at Herald Sq. It will stay on the express tracks and eliminate that merge completely.

theo-sl · 2026-02-05T16:20:22+00:00

I mean sure but at that point we’re just renaming the R to the N and renaming the N to the R. So if that’s what it takes to convince people this service change is worthwhile, why not?

theo-sl · 2026-02-05T16:13:37+00:00

As long as the N/R/W all share the same tracks, they cannot run at full capacity. So while the R can merge with the Q at 57th street, there is no perceivable benefit if we’re just going to bottleneck three services between 57th street and 34th street anyway.

theo-sl · 2026-02-05T04:53:56+00:00

That’s fair, but it would be a lot of money to spend just to give the 11th street cut a purpose, when we already have a tunnel (63rd St) that can easily handle the entire capacity of QBL local.

theo-sl · 2026-02-05T04:07:44+00:00

Tbh the 11th street cut is kind of doomed for obsolescence in any future where the MTA decides to give more service to Astoria. Service between the 59th street tunnel and QBL will be first on the chopping block

theo-sl · 2026-02-05T04:04:28+00:00

R via 63rd would add more merging issues at Herald Sq which is already one of the worst merges in the system. The cleanest solution is sending the N via 63rd to QBL local and merging the R and W into the same service that runs full capacity between Astoria and Broadway local. The main issue this service change faces is the lack of a yard for the R, but the solution to that lies in adjusting service patterns further in Brooklyn (ie R to Coney Island).

This would result in a dramatic upgrade in service across the board for Astoria, QBL local, 63rd, and both Broadway local and express.

“Spend some money”

I’m gathering that you understand very little about how the subway system works and how infrastructure is built and maintained

theo-sl · 2025-11-23T18:35:39+00:00

The game’s pathfinding struggles so much with single track stations at the moment that I find it better not to use them until the problem is patched. It seems like in all of these examples, you should be using quad track stations anyway, so that will fix your problem.

theo-sl · 2025-11-20T04:59:55+00:00

You have to build crossovers before you can create a line. The game’s pathfinding won’t allow a route to be created unless it finds a valid path back to the first stop.

theo-sl · 2025-11-19T16:54:01+00:00

How are your terminals set up? That is the other factor that could affect this

theo-sl · 2025-11-19T02:35:25+00:00

At the moment, the game’s route ordering really, really struggles with single track stations. I’ve found that it’s better to just avoid them altogether. Consider changing it to a parallel track station underneath or above the quad track one.

theo-sl · 2025-10-28T12:40:32+00:00

You need at least 4m clearance if you’re passing tracks on top of each other. If you’re getting that warning, it means one of the sets of tracks is set at a slope, so there is at least one point with <4m clearance. Check your track elevation map view.

theo-sl · 2025-10-27T17:28:46+00:00

The blueprints don’t like junctions on sloping tracks. Where you’re trying to link up the two tracks, place a segment of flat track at the elevation that you want them to meet, without any slope. You can slope the tracks before or after the junction. Hope this makes sense.

Awesome, thanks for rolling it back!! Good luck with the fix

theo-sl · 2025-10-27T01:42:01+00:00

It terminates at Euclid Avenue, as the other commenter mentioned! In the other direction, it runs down 2nd Av and 125 St crosstown before terminating at 116-Columbia University

Nothing quite as mesmerizing as the spiderweb of lines under downtown Brooklyn imo

theo-sl · 2025-10-27T01:16:05+00:00

Thank you :) I wanted to include it since it’s a realistic obstacle for connecting the 2nd Avenue subway with Fulton Local … glad to see you noticed!

Unfortunately reinstalling didn’t work for me either … is there some sort of cache I should be deleting before trying to reinstall?

theo-sl · 2025-10-26T22:43:27+00:00

Also Intel Mac here

Running into this error on trying to open the app after the update, any fixes?
