NAM Elevated Rail Station  1.0

About This File

This lot is for use with the NAM's Elevated Rail Over Road Puzzle Pieces. The station is plopped in-line with the puzzle pieces and allows all road-based transit types through. There are two versions of the station in the zip. One is just a elevated rail station and the other is the same station with bus service. This station was requested by BlackBeard in a posting at PEG's Site. Please unzip the zip so you can see the images that are in HTML readme. I have written a small tutorial on how to setup the puzzle pieces and the station to make them work together. There is a link in the HTML readme to the site that has the latest copy of the NAM, if you don't already have it. Please read the readme.

Updated 4/30/05: Lots now allow commuters and freight trucks through. Renamed pictures to make them unzip and display properly. Edited readme as well.

I very much approve of this conceptually. It's a very realistic sight in major cities with elevated trains (French Connection anyone?) However, the model appears plain and "glassy". Could you or someone else tweak the design to make it more "older" in appearance? (Conjuring Chicago and NYC stations).

I can't seem to get pedestrians to board this station... they'll exit at one and continue on foot, but only if they board at a regular maxis station.

Finally! Been looking for such a station to use with NAM. Works beautifully; just follow the instructions. No crashes (on Mac.) Perhaps other designs next?

This is a great addition. I do wish that it was sized a little bit narrower. It can interfere with some adjacent buildings. I also encountered the crashing. What works consistently for me without crashing is laying down all the rail over road pieces first. Then once I decide on a station location I bulldoze the necessary three sections of road. Then I choose the station from the menu and plop it being VERY careful that the cursor does not hover over ANY of the rail over road pieces. Once placed I you have to choose the rail over road piece from the menu to connect the station to the existing track. Again I take extreme care that my cursor does NOT cross over the newly created rail station. I finish by dragging 2/3 sections (can't remember) directly underneath the station.


This works every time for me. I have made a habit of saving right after bulldozing the three sections of road and before placing the station though just in case. I then save again after dragging the road sections under the station. Hope this helps.

[color=#FF0000]!!!WARNING- [i]download at your own risk!!![/i] [/color]As soon as i plopped this in my city the game crashed and resulted in me getting the [i]'Blue Screen of Death', [/i]almost causing me to loose all my data. Luckily i did not, however i have just uninstalled the entire game to prevent a repeat encounter. 10/10 for the idea, but 0/10 for results!
