I would assume New York City Bus. Thats where the forst 4 batches are supposed to go.

I wouldn't be surprised if it rolled out with the "Regional Bus" name but MTA isn't even totally set up for that so let me not get my hopes up.

That's what I'm thinking, but right now it's at Zerega to get registered. It came with only a blue stripe. No numbers, or MTA logos.

It'll be interesting to see what the text would read after the MTA logo....

Haha, nice photoshop.

HBLR is probably gonna go two ways once in SI, its either gonna go west, or go east to St George as you said. Now, I doubt the line would end up at St George, but there aren't any set plans or anything so it can would up anywhere. Hell, it can end up at Eltingville Transit Center or run down where the 122 use to run (I'm totally blank on the routing of the 122 in Staten Island right now). And no, I'm not talking about the 144, thats still around, and the S89 follows much of that route anyway.

Do you or anybody else have any info on this, I think I remember the North Shore line vividly but I'm not too sure if its the same thing.

There isn't much about it, most is just talk. When HBLR was extended to 22nd Street in Bayonne, and then the plans for West 8th Street came out, talks of HBLR going over the Bayonne Bridge to run possibly on the North Shore line. And thats all its really been, talk.

The North Shore Line, has been abandoned since August of 1953. The Line needs a TOTAL Reconstruction; No upgrades, no track repair. Just a total, 'Start from scratch deal'.

Well, if your putting light rail there, your gonna have to.

 

Putting anything there anyway needs to start from square one.

Ya, North Shore Line is gonna get worked on because the MTA was to do something with that line. They wanna try to run HBLR on there.

Hmmm....so the entire fleet is gonna go.

 

Three choices:

1. R179s

2. Modified M8s

3. Something totally different

 

It'll most likely be just R179s.

Where can I buy this Trainz Sim program?

You can try stores like Best Buy, Circuit City, J&R Music and Computer World.

Nice. Good Luck!

R179s or Mod M8s!

Wow, those vids were awesome man! The Arrow in the consist is pretty interesting to see in that mix.

1st photo: Bus I believe had a minor problem and needed to be towed to the garage.

 

2nd photo: That bus is not the same bus and its being delivered to TTC.

 

-PATH is a Commuter Line, right?

Ya, PATH is a "railroad" because its a special case under the FRA. Same goes for SIR, thats why it has the title "Staten Island Railway" and not a letter representing it as a subway line.

The R68s are NOT FRA cerfied.Which means that they cant run on the SIR.And if the MTA give SIR some R68s.What will the and lines have?

They can if the MTA does the modifications on the R68/As to meet what the FRA regulates for SIR specifically.

 

But really, its best to go with all new cars for SIR. I think they deserve something new down there. And it'll be easier because when the car is being built, the stuff that the FRA regulates for SIR will be done right on the spot instead of doing modifications to not so new cars

One of those problems is the extreme cost of it.

 

The next "rail" plan thats in store for SI isn't going to involve SIR. Mind you, still in planning.

LOL. Cool route.

Ok, the first photo asked what it is, well its an R12/14.

 

The second one, which would be the PATH car, would be a K series car.

I would recommend BVE if you don't want to spend your money.

 

But if you want to buy something, get Microsoft Train Simulator (MSTS) or Trainz Railroad Simulator 2006. With MSTS you get a good Amtrak route, a good Tokyo, Japan route, and good US freight route. And the add on routes are great like the Berlin Subway.

I see the Stagecoach buses in one of the photos.....

 

Not the NJ ones.

Awesome shots!

 

I have an interest in Trainz and own a copy of Trainz 2006 but it doesn't work on my computer.

None, until they make a MNRR, LIRR, NJT, and NYC Subway MSTS route. MSTS Metro N.Y. it should be called. I want all of the Locos, EMUs and subway trains on it too!

Just make an NJT special and I'll be fine!

As long I get to operate some Arrow IIIs and ALP-46s!

This calls for the help of Joe (Phantom909).

Do you have the 4thAve and LefShut object folders in the right spot?

Holy smokes! What a collection Zach!

 

I got to get me more transit memorabilia.....
