A freight train with CSX power rumbles over a trestle.

The freight yards of Delta City.

the00guvna: You seem to be missing a dependancy for that freight station there. And BTW, your city has the same name as mine

simcitler: That train station is lovely! The maxis subway station could be replaced with something else though.. When shall it be released?

Thank you, the subway station has been replaced. Release? hmm ... when it's ready i think.

The pack will include 3 versions, where one of them is a STR version.

Another station I'm working on is this one (Original by ill tonkso):

Cool stuff! Most stations here look really good but lack proper surroundings like parking places and bus stops etc. so I like what you're doing.

[heitomat 156]

@Simcitler: Those stations look great!

So, what's the proper way of using these lots? When I've used them in my game, I get those "no road connection" zots. I end up bulldozing them and using other freight yards because of that.

I'd like to use them however, because I think they're the most realistic for large classification yards.

Uhm... did you really need to quote the picture as well? The page is only getting bigger this way...

Anyway, it's a nice mosaic!

Fixed it. Anyway, now that I look at the picture more carefully, I see road connections to all the lots. I guess that's the only way to do it. Ciao!

Yeah, I've always had that problem too, though they way I gave my freight yards road access looks sloppy compared to this. Thanks for sharing Moose, looks great!

Nothing special.

Just a scene from my childhood created in Sc4: 

 

  Telegraph lines along railway lines a 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. Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust. 

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

WOW, now that is extremely realistic, I still see that on a daily basis here in South Dakota.

@BIRIALI

what rail textures are you using? the more agricultural-like feel rather than the default grass under-rail texture? thanks!

Starting from Portellian Station heading westbound on a rainy day, the labels explain everything:

[Blueeyesman 5]

I wanna know where u got the X style stairs of those sunken stations

[CaptCity 4,868]

They look like ones included in Mas71's set.

Looks good, but I'm wondering something; where did you find the train stations and skins, or did you mod them yourself?

[Ion_Cannon 677]

Extending rail throughout my region.

[DavidB_ 83]

I love this! What three-track station is it that you are using (centre-top)?

[Ion_Cannon 677]

Thanks That would be Simgoobers Simtropolis Station - https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/files/file/14728-simtropolis-train-station/

And another one.

[DavidB_ 83]

Thanks for the information! This looks great

[Ion_Cannon 677]

And one more. Now I have the fun task of restructuring alot of my older cities to run rail through them.

[kitus1212 1]

one of my central railroad station, with Train, Subway, Bullet train, and Elevated Rail

[Jazzmaster 716]

That's such a beautiful use of railroad, Ion_Cannon! The whole scene looks great, so full and green and neat.

[Blueeyesman 5]

heres 2 pics from the same location in my city.

A new UCCRL Station i made:

[DavidB_ 83]

That is beautiful! Pleas tell me that you will be releasing the El-Heavy Rail Station?

[diamonddog_74 32]

That is beautiful! Pleas tell me that you will be releasing the El-Heavy Rail Station?

@DAB_City: If you mean the station in Nathanthemayor's picture, it is available for download. I used to have it for my game, but then deleted it because I thought the textures were a bit too plasticky.

[nathanthemayor 1,262]

The station is right here, if you were wondering.
