I appreciate the replies and clarification. I didn't realize subway had its own automata, I figured it shared with el rail. The kid in me just wants more trains to play with, I suppose I'll have to make due using a meager five sets! I'm off to cram a streetcar into a tram -> subway transition to witness it reach its final form. Thanks for all you do!

Heya good people, Sorry if this isn't posted in the right place but I'm seeking an explanation of the various rail networks & corresponding automata available to us in game. There's a fountain of information regarding this topic but my understanding is still foggy after searching and reading several threads. Specifically I want to know how many different train lines with unique automata we can have running in our cities. To my knowledge we have by default; - Passenger - Freight - Subway/El Rail - Monorail Then in addition with NAM we have the GLR/HSR & HRW stuff. From what I've read on the NAM faq I understand these to be reskins of existing networks. GLR being ground level El Rail and HSR being Monorail, with HRW being a shared network for passenger trains and HSR. So far so good, seems to still be only 4 unique trains but with additional options to connect and network. If that's the case then great, good to know. However when I see things like bullet train stations or the streetcars available on the STEX it gets a bit swimmy depending on what the mod's page/readme says. For example, "you may only have one GLR mod installed at a time" What does that mean in relation to subway/el rail? I am a confuse. I get the concept of replacing the default/adding extra engines and cars into the mix. I currently enjoy an amtrak passenger line, freight with a bunch of extra engines and cars added, a green el rail train and default monorail with the UV map fix. That's 4 different lines with different trains but is that the limit? Is it possible to have a single streetcar automata for GLR/Tram in road and still have a different Subway/El Rail automata separate from the streetcar line? Can I have a bullet train type automata on the HSR line independent of the default monorail line & automata? Apologies if this is otherwise common knowledge at this point but for someone just getting into SC4 and adding mods, a little clarification would be greatly appreciated. TLDR; How many different trains can we have?

Hi all! Grew up on SC2K. Been diving into modding SimCity 4 recently after learning about the NAM from youtube vids. I have thoroughly been impressed with the quantity of quality content available from this community. Remember folks, just because you rock doesn't mean you're made of stone! Nyuk nyuk. Thanks a ton to everyone for their contributions over the years. SC4 is a blast and it's getting even better with every download! o7
