Title: Show us your... railroads and GLR
Post by: threestooges on March 25, 2007, 05:46:02 PM
I know there have been similar (yet different) topics here and elsewhere, but what can I say? I'm a fan of trains. Note: it's not necessary to show both (although you are certainly welcome to if you have them to show)
Here are some of mine:

A daily commuter route: the trains are short and realtively frequent

On one of the longer hauls: a longer train with higher speeds

Nice threestooges.  Here are some pics from my old region.

I think this is the only place so far that I've actually used GLR (though I'm starting a new region that will probably us it a lot).  And it comes out on the other side of a canal as an Elevated section, so it isn't really GLR at all.   ::)

These photos are from the rail town of Leakesville in the New Mississippi Region. This yard is situation at a junction between a major north-south and east-west line, at the foot of a high pass.

Heading south out of town you can see that the railroad and old highway wind around ridges while the freeway and HSPR go through them.

threestooges: That GLR looks fantastic!  I love it when railroads run along side the road.  It looks like a place I wouldn't mind visiting one day!  That's also a very nicely decorated rail bridge.  Nice work!

bwatterud
: Nice sunken rails!...or is that the same line?  I like the second one, just because it looks a bit more orderly and pleasing to the eye (but that's just me).  They both look great, and it looks like you put a lot of thought into both of them.

Ahh...the railroads in my town don't get much love from me, so I don't have any specialized lines or anything...but I'll post up some pictures where the rails are at least part of the main focus:

In the middle of a high-density commerce district (facing north)-

Great pics so far everyone. I really think that rail travel is something that is overlooked in (at least) American society. It's good to see that it is being kept alive.
-Bwatterud: nice pics. The glr shot is very nice. It's a very clean looking track.

-BigSlark: Nice railyard, but I would hate to be a bus driver trying to get across all of those rail crossings (stop, check, drive, stop, check, drive, stop... etc). It's all well done.

-Masochist: That first shot at sunset (or possibly sunrise) is great. It really gives the feel of elevated rail networks I have seen and how they weave in and amond the buildings... a very well done shot.

I hope to see more. Everyone has shown some good stuff so far.

You may have hear that there was a huge fire on the Southern Pacific lines last week?  I live about 6 blocks away from the fire site.  American rail is alive, I hear it's "heart" beat as they pound in the supports for the new trestles, night and day

Post by: threestooges on March 29, 2007, 05:50:09 PM
Wow, I can't believe I didn't hear about that. I remember driving (well, my parents were driving then) alongside those tracks. It's good to hear no one was hurt, but I hope you get some good sleep soon (my school is just up the hill from a construction site and boy do they start early with those pile drivers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pile)). Also, when I said rail travel was overlooked, I was referring to the decline in passenger travel from its heyday back before cars took over as the primary form of transportation. Freight is still a major part of American commerce. Someone in the business actually told me that most goods have been on a train for at least some part of their trip to the store (especially with the rise of intermodal trailer containers). Thanks for bringing the fire to my attention, and I hope you would be willing to show some of your pics if you happen to have some.

Last post on March 29th in such a great threat.
I like your railways, especially those bridge over the river or the elevated rail.  :thumbsup:
In most of my cities you can cross the tracks by car only over bridges, cause the high usage of them. It`s too dangerous for the driver and a sim don't want to stay in a traffic jam all the time :D
But I have some railroad crossings in my cities, too. They are on suburb streets, with low traffic capacity and on streets were nobody needs a bridge, like on farmland :

I like the railroad crossing sign, it looks better than this american sign with the large gate. It isn't a TE_Lot as well, but a 21-Network-Lot :)
You see much crossing of this in western Germany, in the east the used other signs :)

-royal, nice pic, and the T21 thing you are referring to looks promising. Well done.

-nardo: This seems to be a thread perfect for you; and you have not missed your mark at all. You always seem to raise the bar on rail realism in the game (and your tutorial is quite useful too), but the signal arms are a great new touch themselves. Always good to see what you come up with.

Well, I plop my railroads (you read right...plop). I don't know how to make stuff appear next to the dragged network so I just made a whole system of lots. I have lots ranging from regular rail, to signals, control boxes, everything. As for the MU'ed locos, I made one lot with the locomotives on it, and put the last engine near the end of the lot, I then made several consists so that they are interchangeable. I'm not using a rail side mod though, they are PEG's mountain theme road sections with railroad overlays. (I might just upload these...)

That outta clear things up  :thumbsup:

Well that explains a lot. I thought the dirt looked different. If that was actually made into a railside mod, then that would just be spectacular.

Lars (praiodan): GLR avenues are probably one of the better additions to the NAM (although it looks like it has caused a bit of an accident just south of the glr station). That pic is very well done (and if I'm not mistaken, I saw a different angle of it in the pic competition thread). This new addition should provide many more options for the intra city transit network.

That's a very well staged shot. Simple and detailed. A great combination. The only thing I would think to add would be a sonnection between the street and the parking lot with the windmill in it. Again though, very well done.

It's part of the HSRP (High Speed Rail Project), which re-skins the monorail network, and the original designer reskinned the bridge as well.'

And great shot Mulefisk, that bridge was definitely made to go across deep gorge.

@Haljackey Glad you like it! The map is under construction and I may need to BAT to finish it but I might post some more pics here or in my MD/CJ

@RickD: Hmm - now that you mention it - have to check that next time I open that map ...

@figui: The Passenger station is from Ill Tonkso, most probably not the "original" one from the STEX but the remodded one from the SimcityKurier (http://kurier.simcityplaza.de/) - here's the Linkie (http://kurier.simcityplaza.de/details.php?file=421) - as I am replacing the Lots from the STEX  with the superb modded versions from the SimcityKurier.
The Freight Station  is Silentbreaker's Rural Freight Station (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=3989) as far as I remember the first TE freight station ever on the STEX but definately the first TE freight station ever I used (and I still use it!)

You have to love that rural rail. The trees are a nice touch, but I would almost expect to see some on the other side of the tracks too (but then again, things like that occur in rl too). It's a simple pic, and that's part of what makes it so interesting.

Hi Bernhard ,

I wanted to comment not only this picture but the one currently in competition as well ( but it's a personal choice to do not participate to this competition in anyway - too subjective - ) . Everything looks so natural and we know at the same time that it is so elaborated ... this is the definition of "Brilliant work" .  :thumbsup:  &apls &apls &apls
As a great train fan ( but that's too much work for me with SC4 , have already so much to do ...) , I've visited recently websites about Microsoft Train Simulator and Add-ons , don't know if you know/play that game , if not , you should have a look . ;)
Title: Re: Show us your... railroads and GLR
Post by: Nardo69 on December 29, 2007, 03:31:01 AM
Thanks for all the compliments! I must confess I am still a bit shocked that THAT pic got not a single vote in the second round ... but oh well, time goes on ...

@Badsim: Only a little bit. I do have MSTS plus some commercial Addons and freeware downloads (the latter I couldn't install though ...  :'( )but I never went into it very deep  - a question of time ... My favorite addons are German railways between 1960 and 1980 btw (the more steam the better ...  ;D )
And well, you are right: the more natural it shall look the more you need to elaborate it. It took hours only to get the dam and the bridge over the PEG's kanal (a kanalized river btw) in the right shape ...

For those who haven't look into the competition by now here is my current pic:

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg247.imageshack.us%2Fimg247%2F6663%2Fcapture24102007222559wa7.jpg&hash=73ae2b5b33a4c49eb47c2129dbc597ff48a34e42)

It's in the third round but I don't believe that it's going to enter the HoF - the other pic is too much beach and sun and holiday I think ...

Anyway:

Have Fun!

Everything looks very good, but my favourites are little but unusual details - for example the pedestrian underpass under the GLR line and pedestrian bridge over the canal (both on the second picture)

Maybe I'm not a rail maniac, but I had a lot of Piko rail stuff when I was a boy  :D
And now I like building rails in sc4 very much!
These catenaries and new signals are a great addition, they increased realism of rail areas a lot  :)

I have two questions:
1. I understand you had to put catenaries relatively close one to another (you have a small rail station). But what you think (as a rail specialist): which distance between catenaries would you suggest - on the single rail line and on the station (more lines, wide catenaries)?
2. Would it be possible to add catenaries and signals as props to the large railyard set (This one with multiple lanes and many train props)?  :)
Title: Re: Show us your... railroads and GLR
Post by: Nardo69 on January 07, 2008, 05:40:05 AM
My friend, you don't need to be a maniac to enjoy a good railway design. Which isn't that difficult as the rules for the signals aren't that complicated.

1) This is a very good question. IRL I would estimate the distance to 30-50 m - small catenaries with smaller distances than with the large poles for 5 tracks etc. It is also a question of speed - the higher the speed the higher the forces on the wires and therefor the catenaries.

Right at the Moment I use 1 tile orthogonally and no tile diagonally to be compatible with the catenary mod (still in beta, will be available for download when it will be ready). But a two tile orthogonally and 1 tile diagonally fits, too, actually I used this distance before I began to test the catenary mod.

2) Definatively yes. In order to place those signals at the right places especially on large stations and railyards a lot of LE works is necessary therefor all the signals will be available as props - orthogonally with and without offset and diagonally (only without offset)

Anyway if I find the time I am going to do a large chapter for this topics in my "Thoughts" - thread ...   ;)

Post by: Ennedi on January 07, 2008, 06:14:22 AM
Thank you Bernhard!

I supposed you was preparing something interesting for rails, I think if you will release these lots and props and if we will start to use them, our rail networks will completely change and all we have built earlier will look empty and ugly for us  :)

I think your thread will be very interesting, please find some time to make it!  :thumbsup:

Now then for the rail roads

Thanks to the work in developing the EL Heavy Rail Viaduct, the Solarian Imperial Transit Department have begun raising 75km of rail in Core Cities to eliminate clumberson railway crossings and speed up commute times both on road and rail.

First a small section in Solarian City through the Town Centre

The line being Southern East West Solarian Line coming in from Solarian Point

Thanks for your lovely comments!

The railbeds and catenaries are of my own design. I created them back in the day when the only available catenaries were the Frogface ones and I needed more sophisticated props than they were. The railbeds are just custom textures on lots mixed with a modified version of PEG's alternate railway set.

Sorry, but I think I'm going to keep these to myself. It's not that I like to be mean, but some of these lots (especially the long curve ones) are quite tricky to use. Even I have to think twice sometimes how to use them! Many times I also have to create new lots for different rail configurations, as they are quite picky.

Not sure about a release, you would need more prop packs than imaginable :P I can tell you what part I BATed. The piece right behind the platforms and in front of the station. The big box. Took about 5 minutes (including render, which was 4.55 minutes of it). And uses a maxis texture.

The trees are CPs and Jeronij's.
The cantenaries are SFBTs
Cars are Glenni's
Trains are converted (by emilin) swamper trains and the ones that come with the station.
Station is by Nob (and Platforms and some trains).
And just basically have every BSC prop pack made and you can make it yourself  :thumbsup: Thats half the fun!

There have been some great pics in this thread recently, but it's been a while since I last posted one. As I am currently working on a bridge in my BAT thread, and it is to a point that it at least looks decent, I thought I'd post it here and perhaps get some feedback for it. Bernhard, the rail fans are still here, and I don't think we're going anywhere any time soon.

Don't worry, personally I look at every your new creation, unfortunaltely the RL is too demanding lately  ::)

Threestoges: very nice structure, I suppose it will be rather good for smaller rail bridges. It would be good to have at least a bit of foundation on both ends (the steel structure should be supported by something), even if you don't provide any pylons.
It would be interesting to see this brideg from a bigger distance, at this moment the structure looks a bit too thick, it is always nice to see a train crossing the bridge  :)

The only thing I would comment on is the small little patch of grass just before the rail bridge. Also where did you get the bridge itself? It looks good. In fact, the whole picture is really well done. Delightfully rural.

Post by: Nardo69 on March 17, 2008, 03:19:31 PM
@paroch: Hey, show the pic, I am curious and always a sucker for good railway pics ;)

@Threestooges: Thanks!
The bridge is jaystimson's Railway Trestle over Road (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=15259), there is also a Railway Trestle over Avenue (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=14918) and a Railway Trestle over Highway (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=14883). I like to use them as bridges over roads as well as little creeeks in rural surrounding.
They are a bit tricky to plop: You have to plop the bridge first on the railway and then plop the slope pieces to close the connection. The T-Onslope doesn't work unfortunately that is why you see the green spot. Only workaround is Peg's Alternative Railway texture or a mod that completely remove the textures under the rail.

About pedestrian spawining tiles, well, I honestly don't know. I think cogeo made some lots of this kind for rail and road, maybe you asked him?

@threestooges: Ooooops - I totally forgot to comment your bridge ...  :-[
It's a wooden one, isn't it? Not bad, not bad at all but as Adam and Toicus already stated it needs some support - at least at the supports the way Toicus showed. It shouldn't span too much, too, wood is not steel and sensitive to tensions.

Stone supports would be nice and you should think about a (wooden or stone) pillar.

Great pics of the rails Bernhard & Paul just perfect!!!  I would show my rail stuff but its a major weakness to what Ive seen here lately...  What I think about Matt's pic its supposed to be weight suspension and there are still some old time bridges like that around, Usaly found nowadays on defunct rail lines...

Title: Re: Show us your... railroads and GLR
Post by: threestooges on March 17, 2008, 11:38:04 PM
Pat is right about the bridge design (though I am planning to add some footings at the ends) and there are pillars, just for longer spans. The way I understand the physics behind the bridge design (and please correct me if I am wrong) the weight from the train on the tracks pushes down on the bottom beams. The force is transferred to the vertical metal bars which then transfers the force to the top beams which then enters the crossed beams and works to push the bridge further into the sides of the gap. However, footings would be very useful (visually and otherwise).

-Paul: nice work with the station combinations. As far as I know the NAM puzzle pieces produce people (though I think the quantity has been toned down a bit) but if I recall, visual settings require a slightly closer zoom to see them which might make that pic a bit difficult. Great job though.

-Bernhard: It is wood indeed. the bridge I modelled it from didn't have supports and it was fairly long. However, I have made supports for the bridge. Its just that the distance to be covered by the bridge puts it just outside the range of a pillar piece (I'll look into changing that). While wood doesn't necessarily have much flexibility, this has been a surprisingly sturdy bridge (but again, supports and footings are in the works).

-Pat: Please don't be intimidated. The more that is shown, the better. To rephrase a quote: the only bad picture is the one not shown. If you're looking for ways to improve technique, you're sure to get some good advice here (I mean look at what I've received so far for my bridge...thanks again to everyone who's commented on it, it's really helpful).

Well that was surprisingly long, but I'll try to make up for that with a revised bridge pic sometime soon.
-Matt

How about Rail to GLR? NAM makes it possible. Rail and GLR not only can connect, but it seems to have transfers w/o disapearing automatta. Not pictured but freight will go over too. Hopefully RAM can connect highspeed/mono to either one as well. Anyon else try this?

Now that is a new one. You just attached puzzle pieces of both transit types? Have you checked to see if commuters actually use it or if it is just a visual thing? Either way, well done. Good experimentation.

Post by: Andreas on March 26, 2008, 03:09:24 AM
Actually, that's old stuff. ;) Tropod once created a rail/el-rail connector by using a Japanese ramp model, and that was in 2005 or so, way before anyone thought of GLR. There are still paths for rail, so the automata can use el-rail/glr tracks as well, but I wouldn't recommend this setup, since rail passengers can't use el-rail/GLR stations, obviously.
Title: Re: Show us your... railroads and GLR
Post by: Diggis on March 26, 2008, 05:29:44 AM
Actually Andreas this is not uncommon in the real world.  Just last weekend, while there were engineering works going on in London the trains were using the Tube tracks (at least where they were overground) to get around the works.

Are you saying that the GLR/ELrail paths are the same paths as the normal rail?
Title: Re: Show us your... railroads and GLR
Post by: j-dub on March 26, 2008, 08:20:01 AM
@ andreas If it just was to get from one place to another without stopping, this isn't a problem right? I had only planned connection in my city for just what you said, to get rail to connect to el-rail over road to pass through dense areas of the city, so I have a double decker network, versus the rail puzzle piece system. I thought it would be okay after blahdy's car to subway connections via big dig, so why not substitue el-rail for this?
Title: Re: Show us your... railroads and GLR
Post by: Andreas on March 26, 2008, 05:05:38 PM
@Diggis: I don't know enough about paths and such, so I can't tell more about the inner workings, but I would assume that such a setup can confuse the pathfinding engine, and this is not exactly something that we would want.

I do know that there are places in the world where rail and light rail share the same tracks; actually, there is one system not very far from here, in Karlsruhe, Germany, where the regional S-Bahn turns into a tram within Karlsruhe.

@fairlane: Great one - it has that gritty atmosphere! I just don't understand why you put that single road in between the railway tracks ...  ()what()

This one is a side product of my new chapter in my "Thoughts" - thread. I though it deserves it to be shown in an adequate size:

-Bernhard: Nice pic you have there. Your "thoughts" thread is a great source for railroad info. I'll be keeping an eye out for that signal update you've mentioned and I'm going to look through that station part when I get some time.

Post by: Swamper77 on May 11, 2008, 11:56:20 AM
Actually, they used transparent lots with just the overlays of single tracks on them. The "fading" is caused by the shadow plane that is attached to each of the engine automata prop models.

Post by: Toichus Maximus on May 12, 2008, 05:50:08 AM
Everything explained by the folks was true. The automata props made that weird shadow that got rid of the tracks too much (you can kinda see them peeking through) so I'm probably going to replace them with the new peg railfleet FT engines soon. They're just lots, so they're non functional (tho I do have transition to rail pieces). And that's basically it.
Title: Re: Show us your... railroads and GLR

Using pegs engines instead:

Title: Re: Show us your... railroads and GLR
Post by: Cosmic on May 14, 2008, 04:59:43 PM
The reason for those engines looking so large, is because the game's automata are smaller then Pegasus made the props.

To quote:
Quote from: PegasusAs the game automata trains are considerably under scaled, these props are larger... and scaled to look more appropriate on lots with properly scaled structures, vehicles, peeps and other props.


So there you have it: Sim City is not the game for you if you want realistic scaling.  :D

But nice pictures, in any case.

I'm aware of that, and the automata is under scaled, but I still think PEG's engines are still over scaled, I like the scale of Jestarr's train props, seems right in the middle and perfect.

Time for another station (or rather three). I'm basing my region on Copenhagen, though it's far from an accurate recreation. But you'll be able to spot some familiar areas; one of them is Flintholm Station (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flintholm_station). My version doesn't look anywhere near the original though:

Metro services running on the el-rail, 4-car S-trains (third rail Electrostars (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_357)) on the upper level and 2-car S-trains on the lower level.

I'm considering wether I should remove the centre roads; that might make me able to place them tighter. We'll see :thumbsup:

krbe: nice work, but to repeat Nardo's statement regarding passenger switching, did you use the NAM grass ped mall piece to get people up the hill, or is it just an "implied" transition?

Bernhard: Nice work with the diagonal rail there. A very seem-less look. Out of curiousity, what is that little building right by the roundabout (with the green/white awning etc)? Good work on the new pic.

Matt, Bernhard; All were* connected by by roads and buses, and when we know how crazy these Sims are when it comes to buses, it did work to some extent...

* I redid the entire area, moved all stations closer and connected them with pedmalls/bridges.

The layout looks like this, where X is the ped-bridges to the upper-level station. The ||| denotes an avenue running under the metro line and upper-level S-train line. The P's denote the place in front of the lower level S-train station and the Metro station.

Nothing beats this though... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxwaEBI9rJM&feature=related)

what a nice residential neighborhood. You'll never have to worry about sleeping in.

America's last Interurban!

I've gotta get down and ride on it before they bi-pass Michigan City.... though, if they haven't done it for 100 years (the line just turned 100 this week), then I'm not sure why they'd do it now...!)

And to think that electric interurban trains used to be the norm, not the exception.  I used to live in Wheaton, IL, where the shops of the Chicago, Aurora & Elgin were and now live in Highwood, where the Chicago, Milwauke and North Shore shops were.

With the current fuel crisis, these would be THE way to go... but they've been gone for 50 years.

Here's a small little stop along one of my lines. The town is old, but it does a good tourist business.

It all comes down to the train's mouth being really loud. I don't even live by one, but boy can we hear hear it past the community line, versus no warning when it speeds across the gates when your right there. This is past all the other residents, and this is a built up area I'm talking about when you can hear it.
@Threestooges, thats a real life small town classic.

I have to say, that you're really a master of creating realistic railways in SC4! :thumbsup:

And one question: The middle part of the viaduct doesn't have the ordinary NAM pylon. What mod is it? ()what()
Title: Re: Show us your... railroads and GLR
Post by: Nardo69 on August 25, 2008, 04:57:20 AM
Thanks ...  &blush

The pylon as well as the texture on the railway tracks under the NAM Bridge are Buddybud's props from his famous bridge skins that I added to the car resp. loco track lots in the LE.

Ejc uses many custom lots/lot combinations in his MD. Those appear to be several buildings that have been placed together in a very unique way. You would have to ask him how those buildings were plopped.

Here's something I did. Nothing fancy. I wanted to do a mozaic but couldn't because the water fog (or whatever it's called  ::) ) kept changing in every picture. This is the airport sector.

No. There is nothing ordinary about this rail road scene, if you look closer at it.
Look closely at the sides of each end where the line hits land after it crosses the water. Notice anything?

I am not completely MIA though I still am not able to fire up SC4 ....

But while checking my backups I found some of my old screenshots and there is one I like to share ;)

But before:

@apeguy: The overall layout is not bad but now the big BUT... is coming

you really should do something about your (ab-)use of level crossing. Your Flag showss Great Britain so you should know the video about those idiots who just pass the crossings before the train (and loose their shoes)?: If not go to the tutorial section and look for my Thought - thread there.

And then eliminate thelevel crossings in that layout ;)


An example for a good crossing is here:

I think this is the only place so far that I've actually used GLR (though I'm starting a new region that will probably us it a lot).  And it comes out on the other side of a canal as an Elevated section, so it isn't really GLR at all.   ::)

Wow! Beautiful pictures everyone got. They all give me much needed inspiration for my future developments  :)
Bought the game a couple of years ago but was to young to really put any real effort into my cities and I created mostly big chunks of zones and hoped for the best. But now I installed it again a week ago and find it very enjoyable to sit down for an hour or so just fine tuning a particular area of my much smaller and more personal cities.
Well enough with that. Here is a small scene a enjoyed making and I just love watching the morning freight trains passing through here. Nothing special really but I thought I would share it and maybe get some pointers on how to improve my work  :)

Leonholm: I. Love. That. Picture! It's so smooth! Everything has a place in it, and I can tell that you must be a perfectionist. The green water is a nice twist from the classic blue shade so many people use, and it gives a very different feeling and vibe to the image. I always think of SC4 as a canvas, and you need to paint or gorgeous picture of whatever is on your mind, and I can tell that this is what you did here. The blue and green tones in the image really give off a certain sense. I think using a culvert is much more realistic than putting a bridge over that small stream. I doubt whoever built the rails would've put money into such a tiny bridge.

Great image, and I hope to see more from you!
Title: Re: Show us your... railroads and GLR
Post by: FrankU on March 03, 2009, 03:34:37 AM
I agree with Albus. It's a very thought through and detailed image.
It has hardly any reference to the original pupose of the game, but who cares about that! ;D

And welcome to our community. I am sure you will be an inspiration to a lot of us.
Or is this the only reasonable image you can show us....? $%Grinno$%

Post by: Gwail on April 03, 2009, 01:34:11 AM
Sorry airjack_dude, missed your edit.

It's funny, first of all I've used Photoshop's built-in action called "sepia tonight". Next I've altered it in a way I wanted (layer opacity mostly - I didn't want to have full sepia, left colors a bit), added the old paper texture (found with google graphics) as overlay (modified, too). That's 70% of effect.

There is only some tweaks left, one of them is masked dark layer for vignette and some additional layers for soften - it's not necessary, a matter of private preferrences, as all mentioned above layer alterings or the black-white border.

Good luck ;)!

I might add either a pedestrian bridge or underpass there, for the ladder I like to use small chunks of subway, a technique I once learned from marrast's lost masterpiece Eladremme years ago - too bad it doesn't exist anymore.

I read plunderer's thread on his catenaries mod thread (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=6316.0). He was looking at the possibility to use SFBT props, but it seems like the project is now completed using ehbk2006's instead (which, by all means, look great too). Still, I'm a huge fan of SFBT's catenaries, and would love to see them included in a "draggable rail catenaries mod". Any chance of this? If I understood plunderer correctly, he would gladly use SFBT-props if they were made available to him.

If his mod is already released with SFBT props, or simply won't be released, I would love to know.

I submitted a new set of Kenny's SFBT catenary props that were specifically created for a rail catenary mod to plunderer a while ago. Since there are more "special purpose" props, rather than just a basic set, I assume compiling a catenary mod with the SFBT props is quite a lot of work. I figure that plunderer's free time is limited as well, so I suggest to be patient. :)

We have trains that go through the middle of the city (I live in the US). We have a bit of industrial that touches the rail line but mainly just commercial. I think that the only residential that sits next to it is for about three blocks and that is filled with apartment complexes but no houses. The rail is fenced on both sides with gravel between the rail and the fence. The commercial is shopping centers, and small offices. As far I can recall, the train hardly ever blows its horn. The only loud noise you hear is from the railroad crossings.

I once lived in an apartment that was right on a rail line and after a week of living there, I actually started not hearing the train horn at all

Well, the trains are only required to blow their horn at certain times, like at certain at-grade crossings. And actually, here in Austin they installed new crossing gates so that the freight trains that are now running at night on a certain track don't have to blow their horn as much (they're running at night now that we have a new commuter rail system).

Post by: Andreas on June 12, 2009, 05:52:42 AM
In Germany, trains have to blow the horn at crossings without gates, when the gates are malfunctioning somehow, and of course if the train driver sees someone who is on the tracks. But that's only one or two short blows, not the minute-long horn blowing like I often hear in those kinds of videos. :)
Title: Re: Show us your... railroads and GLR
Post by: mike3775 on June 12, 2009, 07:17:45 AM
more and more area's are trying to get designated "quiet zones", where trains cannot blow the horns from 10pm to 6am.  But in order to get that status, cities/towns must pay part of the costs associated with upgrading the crossing to dual gates, and other safety measures required.

Its very costly, which is why it takes so long to get the "quiet zone" status

It's actually possible to get full quiet zone status, where horns are never used without extreme circumstances (i.e. someone lounging on the railroad tracks). Case in point - there are railroad tracks about two blocks from my (former) high school. It is a considerably busy line, as light rail trains go by in each direction every 15 minutes, and there are an average of about 24 freight trains daily. You can't hear light rail horns since they're not "real", but the freight trains had just ear-shatteringly loud horns. We'd get ten or twelve or so during the school day and it did get disruptive at times. Eventually the city decided to make that entire stretch of rail through town a quiet zone, so they negotiated with the railroad, Union Pacific, and while I don't remember how it was done, eventually a no-horn zone was established. They're still relatively rare, though.
Title: Re: Show us your... railroads and GLR
Post by: mike3775 on June 13, 2009, 02:22:04 PM
Railroad companies would love to have quiet zones established everywhere.  Why?  Because the cities/towns pay for the upgrades that are required to get them, so they would get free equipment.

I lived in a town that paid over $6 million to establish a quiet zone.  Why so much?  They paid to build bridges on every crossing in town limits on that rail line(5 bridges).  By doing so, the rail company agreed not to blow the horns from 9pm to 6 am.  The city also paid to install 7 ft high chain link fence along the rails on both sides of the line as well, to prevent people from walking across the tracks.

The railroad had wanted to build those bridges because they were purchasing another rail line, but once they found out that the city was willing to foot the bill, they were all for it

Post by: Nardo69 on June 13, 2009, 02:36:33 PM
Well, from what I am hearing hornblowing seems to be a rather effective tactic to get your railway infrastructure modernized ... I am pretty sure that the speed of the trains increased not only a little bit after the level crossings were removed.

I like to tell the story about that level crossing Bingen or Bingerbrück in the lovely Rhine valley that was replaced before WWII as one of the first level crossing due to capacity reasons. Its average close time was more than 20 hrs - per day!

Freight trains however are a noise problem in Germany, too. While trains in the USA are longer and heavier than in Europe (main reason is the old connection standard that allows maximum 4000 metric tons in flat terrain!) European freight trains are way faster than americans. You can see that on the car type: almost every freight car now is classified "s" (maximum speed 100km/h) or "ss" (maximum speed 120km/h, increased load weight for 100km/h) while AFAIK freight train speed on most lines in America is far below 80 km/h.

This high speed together with old brakes cause a lot of noise with peak levels high above 110 db(A). However on most main railway lines noise walls are missing and don't need to be installed.

Please note that these speeds are only possible because either level crossings have been closed / replaced by bridges and underpathes or are gated - no need to blow the horn yet a serious noise immission problem ...

here they have to sound the horn at all ground level crossings.  There is a set pattern they have to follow, it is annoying, but the only way to get rid of them at night, is to go with a quiet zone designation, but like was mentioned early, it is expensive to do so.

Good-looking one, Sepsis!

However, the catenaries are a bit strange, over more than one tiles the usage of such an amount of pylons isn't very common. I saw a pylon in the middle of the track. And in real life, Ludmillas rarely date with American locomotives $%Grinno$%  But that's just some hair-splitting from a traingeek like me :)

Yes, this is a very good use of the SFBT railyard stuff!
Maybe they can use this image for a tutorial? It shows a lot of good detail.  :thumbsup:

Pity though that the base textures are different... As I used these lots I tended to stop using them, because I disliked the texture mess. But maybe I am a bit too perfectionist, because that problem will always stay except if I start relotting everything as I wish. But I won't do that... :'(

Good idea, but I have no idea how I should do that...
The only replacement that would work is one without texture, because the wide radius and Farr pieces have no base texture. So I use the no-rail-dirt-texture mod by Swamper and Pegasus. But then; many lots do have a base texture. Is it simple to make a mod that removes these textures?

@sepsis: Comrade, nice picture! But you really should secure that railway / tram crossing with signals if it absolutely needs to be there!

@Maxim1110: *sigh* Now that you have that nice avenue underpass do you really think that level crossing just next to it is necessary?
Title: Re: Show us your... railroads and GLR
Post by: Maxim1110 on June 30, 2009, 03:55:46 AM
Well yeah, because if you could see the rest of it you'd know that it isn't possible to make the road intersect with the avenue later, so that's why I did that.
Title: Re: Show us your... railroads and GLR
Post by: FrankU on June 30, 2009, 08:26:52 AM
Yes, we will believe you if you say so, but Nardo69, being a railroad geek, is disturbed by the fact that you make a very expensive underpass for the road, which is mostly meant for safety, and then next to it you make this very unsafe level crossing. Thus destroying all functionality of the underpass.
On the other hand: we all have Simoleons enough and we want to have fun, so a traincrash here and there could be considered part of the fun.
Title: Re: Show us your... railroads and GLR

There could be a one way road underpass(FLUPs in the NAM)
Title: Re: Show us your... railroads and GLR
Post by: Maxim1110 on July 01, 2009, 02:43:54 PM
Well the point is that there are 2 roads required, and I'd rather have the avenue safe and the one way road not, than have neither of them safe. And I couldn't have built an underpass for the one way road since I needed the connection to those industrial lots;)

Post by: j-dub on July 05, 2009, 08:41:19 PM
Its just pieces together, because I can do that. However, to save space (but by costing realism) it is possible with careful puzzle piece manipulation to allow that GLR loop end piece to be used at the end of a heavy rail for the train to turn around on the line instead. I actually have done this. You take a road, draw it 2 tiles where you want your heavy rail line to end, put a rail under road piece on the end of the road, bulldoze just the original road next to it, there will be a heavy rail instead, that will now allow you to place the GLR loop end next to the end of the heavy rail.

The Stairs by the Station are Transit Enabled. That's why I don´t have this Problem.
You need anything there are Transit Enabled to connect the Station with the Street.

In such cases I use the green pedestrian plaza from the Nam, too, to allow access to the station. The stairs may be TE but they are lots like the station itself, and sims usually wander between two network pieces and between and networks pieces and lots but not between two lots.

Last activities of mine had been more urban, more dense and a lot of ElTrain, elevated Railway and all kind of GLR. However I'm not satisfied, not much to show around.

These are some of the better:

One of bripizza's elevated station that serve all(!) kind of elevated traffic. They are one of my favourites at the moment. The GLR-in-Avenue station is kind of eye candy here as the bripizza station serves GLR-in-Avenue, too!

so you can download "Glenni mega props vol 2"here (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=20564),and open any park Lot in LE,broaden the size,
then seach the props name as"Glenni - Ulvoy Bridge"(maybe this name,uncertain).
actually you can seach the name"bridge" as well ;)

OK, let's hope I make sense.

那个铁路那么厉害了,可是又一个问题。怎么你可能有高架公路的上的有地铁?还是有下的铁路-哎呀~这里的牌照很牛!

(An aimed-for meaning)
That railway looks great, but I have a question. How did you get the light rail above the elevated expressway? And then, with the railroad underneath, wow, this is an awesome picture!

Under the light rail, it's a ground highway, not elevated highway. Between the light rail with ground highway and the elevated highway above railway, there's a transition on a slope.

PS: It's a bit of funny with your Chinese :P

The sound of the rails at night,
The lights of a midnight train.

Title: Re: Show us your... railroads and GLR
Post by: emgmod on December 22, 2009, 10:59:55 PM
Here's how I did it. It can only be done for brand new flat cities.

1. Head to God Mode --> Terrain Effects --> Raise Terrain Level
2. Lower all the land by 23 meters.
3. Raise the parts of the map you want land by 15 meters.
4. God Mode --> Terrain Effects --> Lower Terrain Level
5. Terraform a 15 meter cliff where your rail line will turn into a bridge.
6. Use the Onslope pieces to make the bridge.

Since my MD is currently taking a rail trip, I have more pictures.

Here's a closer shot of one end of the diagonal bridge.

Post by: McDuell on December 23, 2009, 05:55:42 AM
If you haven't built any tunnels and bridges yet, you can even do it in developed cities using the 'setsealevel' cheat.

Open the command line (CTRL+X) and input setsealevel x where 0 <= x <= 200. This will set the water line to the defined hight. Now you can use the hole digging lots to terraform your viaduct line.
To obtain the default sea level again, just save and reload the city.

Be careful though: the 'setsealevel' command will destroy any existing bridges and tunnels in the city!

After using the command however, you may build bridges and tunnels at your leisure as they will not be destroyed when reloading the game. (In fact, that's the method I normally use when building diagonal bridges or underwater tunnels.)

I'll go with the green el. rail cause it make a real separation between the rail and the buildings without being to fancy or/and expensive for such a low density area.

the other ones are not realistic :
    - the simple crossing is obviously to dangerous, nothing blocks people to enter the railway from the yard,
    - the other one are just too expensive :thumbsup:.

You have right, the simple crossing is too dangerous, so no way! I also liked the green El rail because it's safer and brings a nice touch of green.

I am hardly building medium or big terminal station however I always liked frogface's SNR medium terminus. So I did some minor additions to it recently in the LE. Neither map nor lot is finished by now:

The only stuff I don't like is this yellowish grass around the tracks. Maybe I'm wrong but I've seen nowhere such grass in the middle of a town especially that close too a large terminal station. Should be dirt, concrete or gravels :satisfied:.

QuoteActually I like this picture much better than the night shot bcos I feel that the light rays (from the lamp) are wrong

You're totally right firdaus, I've actually delete that previous lot and rebuild a new one :-[. The one of the last pic is the new one. Except from the problem of light cones, I also change other minor things and I made it TE from the road (2 entrances one the lot). I'll post night pic later. Meanwhile, here's a day view from the other side.

Euro rail mods are great, can i get more please?  :D

Girafe- My eye were affixed to the my monitor for 5 minutes looking at your train.....
Kenworth- Your caternaries look great but like some of the others said, I think they 'look' too tall.....But after looking at the RL nite pic they seem realistic.

BTW- Why do the German catenaries look like there meant for the regular rail set but the Swiss version are meant for the High Speed Rail line? Does any anyone notice this?
Title: Re: Show us your... railroads and GLR
Post by: Nardo69 on February 04, 2010, 04:50:58 PM
@Fresh Prince of SC4D: The "German" catenaries are made of steel. You'll find this type mostly on major RR lines that had been electrified between 1950 and 1990. The "Swiss" catenaries have a concrete pole. It's more modern because it's cheaper. And almost all High Spped Rail lines have concrete catenaries. ;)

Some may know this layout from the first Thematic Compeition in b/w. Here's another shot from that scene - this time in colour:

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ld-host.de%2Fuploads%2Fimages%2Fc3ec0cb2d71626da5dc68bbb61a32df5.jpg&hash=1815570a3ae10b9909b9102b27e18c7b672ebe12)

Nothing special.

Just a scene from my childhood created in Sc4.

Telegraph lines along railway lines are rare to see these days as well as semaphores. And except some rare nostalgic trains the giant fire dragons are gone, collecting dust or rusting untill they become what they were: red dust.  /wrrd%&

Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust.

Childhood's gone for good. Except in Sc4...  ;)


Have fun.

Not all level crossings have been eliminated in Germany, You'll find them especially on secondary railway lines. But the number of road crossing decreases, the problem is the different track layout. It is forbidden to build level road crossing of tracks with a limit speed over 160km/h (~100mph).

Thanks for the compliments guys
Avenue crossings and unfenced railroads are actually common in my area, and there are rarely accidents on them.  However if there is a fence for the str I'd gladly go back and fix that area, the reason I haven't placed any fences is that all the ones I've found for download take up one block.  In my small town that's a lot of wasted space.

Conner, the station is in the lex.  Should be under transport rail.  I believe it's called Beverly Station, can't remember who made it though.  It's a very nice station and fits perfectly into that neighborhood, I think.

And here is something from my city. I am interested in W2W now, and I build a small area of W2W with a GLR line across it.
Here are two pics about it:

Nice work jackxu :thumbsup: And as for street running all you have to do is grab any NAM rail piece(not FARR or STR) plop it where ever and then drag rail one tile out from the one side stub that you'll use the glr in road, avenue etc.. then drag road over the tile next to the rail puzzle piece then buldoze the rail stub next to the rail road crossing then you will have no rail sub on that side of the puzzle piece then you can drag or plop any glr puzzle piece to the end of the rail puzzle piece that has no stub then you got it you then should have some thing like this.You can see where they connect.

Yes this does mean you can have rail over GLR,and it is UDI compatable and rail traffic thinks its regular rail so the trains go right over it.

For 15 years, the Daloa Historic Green Cars ran on the North Daloa Transit Green Line. With the planned expansion of the Green Line past Daloa Park, the historic streetcars on the route would have to be taken off the rails. The solution North Daloa Transit has to this problem is to create a new historic "Green Line," and renaming the old Green Line to the Blue Line. The new Green Line uses a refurbished Green Car fleet to take commuters and tourists from Stanley Station to Downtown Daloa. It follows a similar route to NDT Route 14, so Route 14 was shifted one block to the west.

The northern terminus is actually a short walk from Stanley Station. The terminal has two platforms, so streetcars don't pile up.

The 3rd Avenue/Packard St Station. Historic streetcar tracks and Blue Line tracks cross each other, sometimes causing traffic during peak hours. The Packard Street Subway is being built so  Blue Line trains bypass this intersection and will eventually connect with the First Avenue Tunnel.

At the south end, the 3rd Avenue/N Bay St Station allows transfers onto the Red(Eastbound), Blue(Westbound), and Yellow lines.

This area looks so cool in the winter and summer. This crossing will need to be wider for the new three tile TLA-7 network, construction is already underway. :)

Its the "SimCity 4 Extra Cheats Plugin.dll" ;), it has a cheat code that brings seasonal snow to mid altitude cities. The snow appears at the end of fall, and melts at the start of spring. I rather use this than an all year around snow mod to make snow in the game more realistic and plus the game automaticly has snow when you change your computer's date to Dec/25.

The most traveled rail line in my region (not quite this section, but its the same line). It connects all 3 of the four major urban areas of the rather large region im playing on (Naples (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=2027)) I play on medium cities and my 'tall' areas usually span like 3-4 tiles, this is the outskirts of one of the tall areas around the suburban area

QuoteHowever everytime I see your french engine I think it's the German 151 ... 

I wasn't aware about the DB-151. The green "BB Jacquemin" (BB 9200 in that case) made by Girafe is a really different engine even if, from a distance, they kinda look the same.

Here what I found (Wiki) :

DB 151                                            SNCF BB 9200 (BB 9300) (BB16000) Jacquemin
Total Prod. : 170 ex.                                 Total Prod. : 92 ex. (40 ex.) (62 ex.)
                                                             + 125 BB25000 + 40 BB25150 + 50 BB25200
Max Speed : 120 km/h                               Max Speed : 250 km/h (160 km/h) (240km/h)
1st year of production : 1972                      1st year of production : 1957 (1967) (1958)
Weight : 118 t                                          Weight : 82,8 t (84t) (90 t)

If the DB151 have been built for cargo train, the Jacquemin engines (named from their engineer) were produced for high speed trains. They were one of the most succesfull european design (with more than 370 ex. engines) and allow the SNCF to keep the world record (29 mars 1955, 331 km/h  :o) until the TGV in 1981.

@Une ame: If you would have chosen a pic of the 151 in the original green color of the 70ies/80ies from a distance you'd see that they do have a kind of similarity ...

OK, something new from me. Not from the latest update but a bridge to one of next ones and a teaser of what is to come some day from the SFBT:

Hello,

I was trying to build a railroad on a dyke, but when i use the SFBT rail catenaries togetter with one of the JPN walls of Mas'71 i came to a problem.
I can use those walls just between the catenaries, so there is always a gap.

How can i fix it.

Or you could simply make another lot using the Lot Editor. Open the lot with the stone base texture you're using and add the catenary prop. Don't forget to do a "save as" and change the name. You'll then have an additional lot in the menu.

another station from me, this one in the same city but its slightly less busier,  but I did relot this one slightly and Im quite happy with how it looks :) obviously the area is not done yet, but the station is so i wanted to post it anyway :) the lots between the streets are part of some sidewalk extenders ive been working on. Anyone know of any flowerbed props that are not seasonal but have flowers year round? They look really bad without flowers :p

This is a direct link because I dont have the page that originally linked to it. It comes in two parts, the station part and then an extra platform part that acts as a park and all dependencies (a lot of them actually) are included in the zip. good thing, cuz i thought NOB took all his stuff down, but this one is still up :)

Post by: travismking on September 01, 2010, 12:05:52 PM
yea im thinking that too, but its actually in an industrial area which I would have to completely rebuild, and atm theres no demand for commercial in this city, and I need the jobs the industries provide ;) Also traffic in the commercial area is becoming a huge problem, as the rail doesnt go through the CBD, but kind of around it, and the central station a few days back has subway as well, but it seems people dont really like to go out of there way to transfer to subway, instead they goto the closest station to the CBD and get a bus which is messing with traffic. im thinking of putting a new subway line out to this station since most of my traffic comes from this end of the region, and this way maybe they will actually transfer here. the city only has like 90k people, but is in a region of 1.4mil and theres a lot of regional traffic causing problems. This rail line here is dual (quadruple i guess) tracked, because there is like 35k people using it every day and I really hate anything thats not green on the traffic dataview :p

Title: Re: Show us your... railroads and GLR
Post by: travismking on September 07, 2010, 11:57:00 AM
thanks, thats my favorite one as well :) This line is actually not that congested, only like 7.000 riders a day, as its all suburban, and not much regional traffic goes this way. It links one of the main CBD's to the eastern suburbs which are all low density. Most of my cities concentrate on rail usage, HSR, heavy rail, subway/EL etc... but this area uses mostly road traffic, hence the highway in the 1st and 3rd shots :)

Post by: Nardo69 on October 03, 2010, 03:43:05 PM
@Terring7: Well, instead of moving the whole railway under the earth it would be enough to built small artificial hills every some km. The railway would go through a small tunnel. As an alternative you could dig small holes which the railway crosses on short bridges.
The fences you already built along the RR line in the first pic would lead the animals to those animal bridges and the cost for the railway wouldn't explode.

The same method works for highways, motorways etc.

Thanks for the comments my friends :)
Nardo i knew about those constructions from a documentary and they are brilliant. In Simcity however we can use cheats, mods and money trees to build anything we want, without worrying about money. And if we have enough money to build a whole underground rail system, why not do it? ;)
Of course this idea is only for freight trains. For passenger trains, i prefer to build elevated rails. Do i need to explain why? :D

Pretty nice work there noahclem. Great layout in the shots. Looks like the area's still developing though. Hope to see it when it's all completed. One thing I would suggest though, in the second pic, with the switch just after the bridge at the bottom, it appears that there's a main line track which continues on straight while the branch leads to the station. If that's the case, I'd suggest flipping the switch so that the curvy part leads toward the station and the straight part remains part of the mainline. That way, from a real life perspective, the main line trains passing through won't have to slow down to negotiate the curve, whereas trains heading to the station would likely already be in the process of slowing down and wouldn't be hindered as much. Good work on all this though.

Wow!!!! Lovely pictures. :thumbsup: &apls

Agreed, exceptional pictures here lately! Coincidentally, I just downloaded Giraffe's Train Capitole a couple days ago after perusing TSC. Such a shame there's not a way to install multiple train automata mods at the same time without having the cars and engine's mixed  :'(  If only there was a way to have multiple networks (rail, El, and/or monorail-based) run on the same tracks. Is it GLR that's also rail enabled? Vice versa or something involving HSR (monorail-based) would be pretty exciting. I've also wished there was some way to have a major rail station that functioned as an airport (for purposes of long-distance travel and hence a stimulus of commerce) that would generate unique automata.

That was a pretty roundabout way of doing so but it did mean to compliment Yan077's picture.

@ Jdenm8 - Very interesting network there! But even after visiting your link (with translate) I couldn't tell whether your rail was el-rail, rail, or HSR-based. Good stuff regardless ;)

Great looking station area Simcitler! I plan on using your 4-platform station to replace the small one on the slope in my first picture here.

And Xander your bridges over rail look great too! I'd like it even more if the bridges were a more realistic clearance like 8 meters, but that's just me.

Also nice pictures Dcerv5633 and Mithokey.

Another leap forward for me! Now automata trains can actually blend in with the prop candy lots I used to make instead. :)

Well, to be clear, I didn't make any automata; that was Swamper77's excellent work (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1572). All I did was splitting the single file into separate files per car to allow loading just one (to get uniform unit trains).

These files (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=7789.msg249261#msg249261) uploaded by RippleJet fix the engine. It's just in my plugins folder.

Hi,
wo, nice pictures around here!  &apls

cause my region is only a big workplace and not worth to be shown in a portrait here some pictures of the first finished train station for passengers and goods. Had some problems with the mass of props and textures and divided the lot in two parts. Now it´s better, but i couldn´t plant the switch stands (right word?)...
The station is at the end of two lines as you can see on the first picture.

Wow that is simply fantastic.  I really love how you blended it into the surroundings with the textures also.

Incidentally do you actually get usage from it?  I have found that whenever I build a huge GLR network, I cannot get much usage out of it, unless I bulldoze the rail lines that goes through the cities, as they will simply take the GLR to the train station then jump over to the train, take a train to another station near a GLR stop, then jump back on the GLR to go where they want to, even though there is a direct GLR line to that area with fewer stops then the train line

In my case, GLR usage exceeds car traffic by far (60,000 vs. 25,000 in the Traffic Congestion graph). Most of the tracks are used by 4,000 passengers and more; figures over 10,000 can also be seen. I customized the Traffic Simulator that comes with the NAM to encourage my sims to use public transport, ans secondly, railway tracks (and buses) are very rare in my region. I will add more railways to my cities, there will possibly be a change in GLR usage then. But this wouldn't hurt that much, most of the tram stations are far beyond their capacity already. ;)

So your light rail system has fewer stops than your heavy rail? Bit strange, as it usually is the opposite. My preferred number and spacing of stations, from the most to the least, is: Bus>Light Rail/Subway>Monorail>Heavy Rail>High-Speed Rail

Great rails Swordmaster  &apls  I love the BN coal train especially, and STR is always nice. Nice use of the freight train length mod and I'd also suggest you check out Rivit's tunnel mod.

Nice work to the rest of you as well  &apls

great pics everyone.

your coal train would look great leaving a coal mine in the hills swordmaster.
this idea would also be nice with a train full of car carriers leaving a car factory or industrial complex.

Nothing is more persuasive than pink elephants. Can't resist that!

I modded the original maxis files with the reader and tweaked them so that they don't appear anymore. So basically trains appear with no cars. Then I got Swamper77's cars and made one DAT file per car, putting only one of them at a time in my plugins, so that only one type of car can appear. Not sure if this clarifies things for you.

Not sure either but I believe the SFBT soundwalls are larger. If I'm not mistaken these walls can be found in one of the CSX mega prop packs (1 t/m 7) or they're the ones that come with one of Jestarr's downloads (Bubba Bait shop or something). In any case, they're totally on the right spot, very nice pic Wetsom.  :thumbsup:

Railway spiral, losing about 25m height. I have several slope mods, with maximum grades between 0.5 and 2.5%, so this is not a gimmick - it's necessary.

To answer Noah's question, for every unit of distance you move, you move 0.5% of that distance vertically. In SC4, that would correspond to 16 x 0.005, or 0.08 I think. (for every 1600cm forward, you move 8cm vertically)

As for the pic, that looks fantastic! I've seen pictures of real ones (including one looping around a mountaintop on a continous trestle structure) but I've never been satisfied with my SC4 efforts.

Thanks for the responses, folks. :thumbsup: This thing was actually a result of testing my slope mod, trying to cross the Wasatch range on dobdriver's Salt Lake City map. It's pretty though, which is exactly the point. Takes about an entire large city full of curves, tunnels and bridges to gain/drop 150m.

From my experiments, I've learned this:

[tabular type=4]
[row]
[head]MaxSlopeAlongNetwork[/head]
[head]Grade[/head]
[/row]

[row]
[data]0.2865[/data]
[data]0.50%[/data]

[data]1.50%[/data]
[/row]

[row]
[data]1.1460[/data]
[data]2.00%[/data]
[/row]

[/tabular]

These were tested over a distance of 4000m (250 tiles), so I'd say they're pretty accurate. Of course, that is, if you consider 1 tile = 16m.

Wow.

Was that through the work of a slope mod or was that all terraformed by yourself? Freaking amazing work!

Both; I started from the top, so I had to terraform the terrain down, then let the slope mod bring it back up to get the maximum grade downward. The cool thing is, you can't put in the wide curves unless you lessen the grade, which is quite realistic.

If I may say so, there's actually no need to experiment to find the right values for MaxSlopeAlongNetwork - all you need is a bit of trigonometry. Since we know that the value of MaxSlopeAlongNetwork is in degrees, and grade is just the tangent of the angle of the network, all we have to do to find the right value for a given desired grade is take the arctangent of that grade. Using this method, here are some improved values, truncated to eight decimal places:

[tabular type=4]
[row]
[head]MaxSlopeAlongNetwork[/head]
[head]Grade[/head]
[/row]

[row]
[data]0.28647651[/data]
[data]0.50%[/data]

[data]1.50%[/data]
[/row]

[row]
[data]1.14576284[/data]
[data]2.00%[/data]
[/row]

[/tabular]

These values will always be correct regardless of the size of an in-game cell (which, for the record, is known to be 16m).

I hope you don't mind me offering this bit of correction, Willy - I love seeing the work you've put into getting realistic grades in SC4, and I only wanted to offer some helpful information. As it stands, your rail spiral looks fantastic!

Excellent work again  &apls  You know, you could have a few pretty nice MD updates just from collecting a few of the posts you've made around here--just sayin  :P

It is a shame about the limitation regarding multiple engines. Wouldn't they normally be all at the front and back and not in the middle like you mentioned? If they could be mixed randomly in I suppose you could have an engine computed as a car, though to have the approximately 1 in 20 cars be engines you'd need 20 more coal trucks in your automata folder. Alternately, the engine automata file could be two engines rendered in a row but I suppose there wouldn't be a way to make them bend in the middle. Could look nice on straightaways though  ;)

Well, in this case the MD would stop after one update, because there's nothing else on that map. But don't worry, everything I'm working on is towards that goal.

The more evenly you distribute the engines, the less strain on the couplers and the rail infrastructure. My knowledge of North American practices is limited, though. (Some more info (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_power)). Here in Belgium we only use one or two engines at the front - but then we have only maximum loads of around 2200 tons.

I honestly have no clue about the modding options. I'm still working out bugs with this configuration - it seems having more than 80 cars causes trouble.

After a long break off SC4 I recently started playing again, and as before (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=802.msg409412#msg409412), GLR came to the highest priority again. The grass texture from the GLR drag addition in NAM v30 looked quite annoying to me, so I changed them to match the W-§§ grass textures. Click for a full resolution view (1,8 MB).

Very nice collection of progress pictures there Willy. I like the detailed steps of how the roadbed was prepared, and even the laying of the ties was included. I would've expected to see a rail-based crane for the laying of the track, but then, I suppose, with several flatbeds of rail it would be tough for it to reach all the way to the end. Nice work.

Rallingen is a small city, which consists of the city of Rallingen itself and the village Landorf. The core of the local mass transit is the tram network consisting of two lines. I want to present you one of them, the line from Landorf to Rallingen-Nordstadt (north town).

I am going to take a guess at this one and assume its an overhanging lot placed next to the El-Tracks in line with the station.  I am making this assumption since the other side of the road does not contain the brick underneath.

Here are two pictures of the local El-train. It looks like boxes on tracks, but really its a funtional and reliable El-train.

If you need to transfer from El 9 to El 11 or to the S11 or S4 then chances are you will do so here, at Bunkerpark Park Station. The El 11 runs underground here, but it's still a El train officially.

Started a new Region, these are the sidetracks located near the 2 mainhubs of one of the major cities.
Since it's a rural area, space is limited and for the sake of avoiding crossing networks the rail is elevated wherever its possible.
The water towers are relics from steam engine times  ;D.

PS.: I know right now the transportation is oversized. But this area is suppose to be HD in the future  ;).

In the rail bridge, the start (or end piece) is strange (dark texture), could it be fixed?

Very nice work eggman121. I'm assuming you used the DBE to create a diagonal rail viaduct with that smooth curve.

It's a bit off-topic but, what is that diagonal road bridge in the image? Is it a different texture for the road viaducts or is it actually a bridge?

As for the road bridge. It is actually in the NAM Diagonal Bridge Enabler. It can be both downloaded on the LEX and the STEX.

Hope that clarify s things.

Great bridges Stephen  &apls  That road bridge is my favorite of the car-carrying diagonal bridges as it has the thing that almost all bridges, Maxis and custom, are missing: substantial sidewalks. Bummer that the bottom of the rail DB pylons don't match the top but not too noticeable in that situation. I had to remove Rivit's viaduct texture mod from my current plugins since I didn't have any water to hide them : &mmm

Nice junction, Hal.  :thumbsup:  The game-default "QTR" is still fun to see.  I like that there are overpasses over the railroads; the trains in my area tend to stop and tie up traffic at the at-grades for over a mile, although there are a few underpasses/overpasses provided.  Props for using the RHW creatively, too.  ;D

Yours is also good, David.  :thumbsup:  It represents a typical small-town railroad crossing quite well.  I imagine that the passenger trains at these kind of crossings create some lengthy delays.

The same way I like to go over-the-top with my road projects, I do the same with rail projects!


Presenting...

Rockford Base Tunnel
Nida and Rockford,
Kingdom of Rota

The lengthy base tunnel required excavation using the Excadrill-5300, (https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Excadrill_(Pok%C3%A9mon)) a most formidable Tunnel Boring Machine!
(https://i.imgur.com/GqvShhD.jpg)

It also required the use of an on-site pre-cast concrete plant for the tunnel liner.
(https://i.imgur.com/U7vzafM.jpg)

The grand plan was to bypass a treacherous winding single track mountain railway, benefitting train traffic which didn't need to stop at the quaint mountain village of Rockford
(https://i.imgur.com/MdM6qJh.jpg)

Once completed, a new infrastructure marvel joins the legendary Castle Rockford!
(https://i.imgur.com/UUAOJLG.jpg)


South Rotan Alps Main Line
Lake Platinum
Kingdom of Rota

This has to be one of my all-time favorite railway scenic views, where the Dialga Falls empty between the natural alpine Lake Platinum and the artificial Lake Diamond!
(https://i.imgur.com/r2lg4uM.jpg)


City Express
City of Zamacentia
Kingdom of Rota

Between conventional rail, street-running trams and elevated rail, this is one of my most sophisticated urban rail set-ups in years!

Sorry to disturb but I need to express my strong denial regarding a link to another site where community members that left the scene are attacked in a sad and unnessecary way, well knowing they can't defend themselves anymore. I personally think we shouldn't discuss each other that way. And I strongly hope the given link doesn't bring this discussion of no earthly use over here. Invocations to boycott single members are inacceptable from my point of view.

I'm assuming his Patreon was shut down by EA, based on what Tarkus said on his blog back in March. Though that's just speculation on my part...
Title: Re: Show us your... railroads and GLR
Post by: Tarkus on May 19, 2021, 12:59:29 AM
First off, fantozzi, I appreciate your expressions of concern.  Normally, I would not post something that I would know could be subject to controversy in this manner, and it is not something I take lightly.  However, given my knowledge of the situation, experience in past situations, the fact that my counterparts at Simtropolis have left this post to stand, and the general rules of this site and the community, I felt it necessary to provide the additional context that thread offers--namely, that the old files were not available.

Not even getting to any matter of anyone's business practices in further detail, making one's content exclusively available via a Patreon account is effectively a form of paywalling, and constitutes commercial activity.  This is in violation of the EA Tools End User License Agreement (EULA), which can be read here (https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?PHPSESSID=d7fa1bc53603c96a70da6b62b000ec44&page=6), and is also in violation of Site Rule #11 (https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=15094.0)

Quote
11.  SC4 Devotion seeks to uphold the End User License Agreement (EULA) of EA Maxis, for SimCity 4 and any first-party tools or patches.  Discussion of any sort of modification or project that would use first or third-party SC4 content in a manner that is contraindicated by the EULA, and/or could potentially damage the salability of SimCity 4 and expose SimCity 4 Devotion and its staff to financial and legal liabilities, is prohibited.

If someone's using a Patreon simply for early access, with the intent of uploading the files to a public exchange for free download a short time later (as Jasoncw does), this is, IMHO, acceptable, and could be rationally construed as a "tip" or "donation".  But is as far as anyone should go down this road, and speaking as the owner of this site, I will not condone the promotion of content paywalling here at SC4D.  Any links to any sites, Patreon accounts, etc., that engage in such practices will be removed. 

I'll note, I did write an editorial (https://simtarkus.wordpress.com/2021/03/23/bating-for-bucks-a-pandoras-brown-box/) ("BATing for Bucks: A Pandora's (Brown) Box") at SimTarkus about the subject back in March.

The matter of what happens to content produced by someone who was paywalling is definitely a first, even in a community that's been going for over 18 years, and has created a rather difficult situation.  I have my own opinions on what should be done with the files, though being that the content was originally uploaded to the STEX, not the LEX, all I can really do is opine. 

I'll note, before anyone brings up the LEX DVD--that was a product of the previous ownership.  Upon taking ownership of SC4 Devotion in July 2019, I immediately ended the site's previous practice of soliciting and accepting donations.  Accordingly, the contents of the LEX DVD will be going onto the LEX at a later date, free to download for the entire community. 

If anyone wishes to discuss the matter further, know that my PM box is open, the forums here are open, and the ST thread remains open (Edit: ST Staff comment from Cyclone Boom. (https://community.simtropolis.com/forums/topic/760285-wolfzes-content/?tab=comments#comment-1753955))--but we should allow this thread to return to its original purpose, of members showing their latest efforts with rail-based transportation networks.
