I know you can connect the subway to the rail in SC3000.  But can you do this in SC4?  I know there is a subway to elevated rail connection.  But why not a subway to a normal rail connection?  Or am I missing something?  Please help.  Does anyone miss the arcos? hehehe

    That is a good download, but the SC3 subway-rail connection allowed passengers to connect between subway and rail, not trains to come up from underground.  Is there anything to let passengers connect from subway trains to rail trains on this?  I suppose it is like having a joint rail and subway station.

    Technically, functional transfers from one rail-based network type to another can only be done through a TransitEnabledLot in SC4, as each of the different rail-based networks have a different Pathing value assigned to them that controls the routing/pathing/automata aspect. Road-based networks however are slightly different in this regard, & only one value is assigned to them (plus one for pedestrians) that controls all road-based vehicles.

    What a great idea... I don't know why MAXIS didn't include it, though!

    It might be possible via modding but I am not sure.

    Yes.
    It is possible using the terrain editor tool, part of SimCity4 Rush Hour and not a custom download.
    Just use raise your terrain tool, and using the leveling tool create/drag yourself a raised tunnel. Place the train tracks into the end side of the hill and out the other side. It only goes in straight lines. This tecnique is also helpful for crossing monorail and elevated highway. For City wide use however, it is easier to raise the terrain of the entire city, and lower the terrain at intersections/stations.
