Metra | Train Sim World 2 Route Suggestion
Рет қаралды 7,088
Күн бұрынHey guys! I thank you all so much for 500 subscribers. To celebrate, I wanted to bring back the TSW2 route suggestion series. This is easily my best one. It took me 2 weeks to research the script of this video, and took me a few days to edit the video. It was a very ambitious project for sure. I hope you all enjoy it as well. In this video, I talk about the Metra Racetrack, and Milwaukee District West /w North Central Service. It was definitely a challenge for MDW and NCS as there is very little information about both of these routes on the internet unlike the Racetrack. Overall, I'm very proud of this video and I think perfectly fits for a 500 sub special. In addition, I am also opening up a poll (scroll down for the link) where you guys can vote on route suggestion ideas that I have. Whatever gets the most votes by the time I make my next route suggestion video will be the route that I do. More info on the poll itself. I thank you guys so much for watching, and I will see you guys in the next video!!!

Please DO NOT post in the comments saying "The racetrack can't be added cuz of BNSF licensing" or "DTG does not have a Metra license". I know. This video is simply just a wild dream. But I just had to cover Metra eventually.

Oh by the way what I would recommend in TSW2 is that they add the Metra EMD F40PHs and the freight trains first and then a few months later add the MP36phs, the F59PHIs and the switchers next because that’s what they did for Peninsula Corridor.
