BTW, #note row is optional, so it may be not present at all in tables for static trains only.
I think, #start and #dispose strings are not needed for static trains too.

Hello

I usually enter the commands $Acc, $dec in the #Note line. This sets the slope of the acceleration-deceleration curve.

Hello

I see that GG1 is not a static train, if so, the station names [ Station Name ] are missing from the first column.

Thanks ever so much for all your help!! Apparently, I missed that section in the Manual (it’s been a wonderful asset for me). Will make the suggested changes and that should take care of it.

I’ve been developing the amazing and superb Open Rails PRR Northeast Corridor Route for two years now (kudos to the team that developed it!!!). Backdating everything to 1957 to take advantage of the end of steam. Have a copy of the August 1957 Official Railway Guide that has passenger timetables for every railroad in existence then which allowed me to build the actual PRR timetables for OR. Also obtained the PRR Employee Timetables for that year that showed their freight schedules. Also found documents that showed each passenger train’s makeup of cars.

It’s been a lot of fun! I think I’ve nearly maxed out the OR capabilities. As an example, there are 224 scheduled passenger trains in and out of NYC’s Pennsylvania Station every 24 hours. From NY to DC and Pittsburgh, it’s a significant portion of the huge Pennsy system. The developers did a tremendous job with the trackwork, signaling system, and scenery.

Again, thanks for your help!!!

It's so, because EMU /DMU trains brake so poor by default, that fail timetables, while locomotive-hauled passenger trains accelerate like trolleybuses, rather keeping 10kmh, while along terminus platform, then 25, while on switches area.
But I've told about static trains, which are standstill all day!

Now, to Tom:
1. First and main: be always aware, what to write in each cell: every mistake will be damn hard to find after time in big tables.
Program will crash, errors may or may not be mentioned in log-file, but most often - no any signs, for which train in which table.
2. #comment rows &columns are for not usable text (exept one cell for timetable's name - see Manual), but #note and all others - no.
Everything, written there will be used by program. So pay attention.

Do You build another route, or You mean timetable for Vince's NEC v.4/PRR-East mega-route?

I'm using Vince's NEC v.4/PRR-East mega-route. It's awesome!

Totally agree!

So, You are accommodating PRR-East (dated 1940-th) to 1957 with prototypical timetable?
I think, many would appreciate that.

[Captain Tom]

Happy to connect with anyone who shares my interest in the Pennsy, particularly during the transition from steam to diesel. Vince's route is absolutely amazing in detail and massive in size and provides many hours of running a prototypical railroad.

Hope to hear from you!

That's so, but if only we had enough time to enjoy it.
Thanks anyway.
