About This File

Pathed by Redlotus; modelled by Fosterk, Decius, DuskTrooper, and N74704.

A fully-functioning network-enabled plop allows the connection of railroad tracks at the top of the ramp descending down to a connection to the subway network at the bottom is now a possibility! Trains visually descend into the 'pit' thanks to Redlotus' pathing for the lot. (thanks!) I happened to have stumbled upon the fact that referencing non-existant base textures in the game results in a 'see-through' effect, just what was needed for this lot and its LODs to work 100% correctly.

Note: Like the Maxis network transition (el-train-to-subway), this lot has a minor 'bug' that is visual only. When plopping items around the lot, sometimes the ground texture of SC4 will 'cut through' the lot. The easiest way to fix it is to go into sub-terranean view then quickly return to surface view. It should look normal now.

hmmm... okay, but does this allow subway trains to drive on normal rail, or normal trains to drive on subway rail, or neither? And can you UDI a train into the subway system?

Very, very interesting. I am guessing that this converts passengers on the trains to passengers on the subway? Not actually taking the train or subway out of it's own area. Does it work for freight? Very nice model for the transition as well.

I've been waiting for this for awhile, but I don't understand it 100%. Do the trains "turn" into subways when it enters this? Or am i suppose to separate the subway routes and use these as only train underpasses?

i'm so confused, i use different custom transports figures on subway and rail train, can my custom rail train runs inside subway or either custom subway train runs on rail?? i m wondering how can this happen.

"In a realistic city.... I personally know i wouldnt want to live and look down to that.." 'Course, in a realistic city, rail-to-underground transitions are usually out at the industrial/slum fringes of the city, so this should do just fine.
