Amtrak Northeast Corridor

The Siemens Charger is a family of diesel-electric passenger locomotives designed and manufactured by Siemens Mobility for the North American market. There are four models of Chargers: the SC-44 for state-supported inter-city services, the SCB-40 for Brightline inter-city service, the SC-42 for VIA corridor service, and the ALC-42 for Amtrak long distance service.

Features

- NEC consist: 8 cars.
- SC44 'Midwest' Charger with Amfleet coaches.
- Modeled interior compartment, that is quite noticeable
- Interior lightning with Additive Shader (works between 18h00 to 07h00)
- Amfleet Coaches: Contains Regular, Business and restaurant coaches. Made by meshd.
- Can be assigned to train routes via IMT or transport line manager of your choice.


Roadmap of Charger and Venture project

- I'll be continously publishing all variants of Charger and Venture family.
- Next update will focus on vehicle effect and sounds with the release of Brightline set.

Leaning problem is unique to NCR, it's not been fixed, i do not know if it will be ever fixed. My recommendation would be switching to Node Controller 2, as it's regularly updated and kian is adding new features for trains, in parallel with Adaptive Networks when it's needed.

as for corner extension issues, if segment is too far or too short, it's possible that trains will 'derail' as game cannot calculate the path, it might related to that, re-dragging the segment should in theory fix it. Leaning problem is fault of NCR, it's a known problem

It happened again but since I had despawning turned on, by the time I got to the area and hit F12, the train despawned.

I think it was my fault tho, I was using node controller and I must have had the node "corner" extended too far and it was overlapping the other node nearby. I made some adjustments but now I get an error everytime I do anything with that track, even if I place new track. "Object reference not set to an instance of an object: NULL" I can hit ok 6 times and it goes away. I'm wondering if this node controller is bad for R2. (I am not using the Node Controller Renewed)

another issue I forgot to mention is, when I bank a curve, the train leans the opposite direction rather than into the curve. I don't know if that is intentional or not. I only discovered that because I am still learning how to use R2 and the procedural track as well. I absolutely love all your mods they look so good in the game.

waiting for that, cheers

on a 1/4 circle curve made of the R2 Cement tracks. the trackage is all noded, but I have it sunk down so the trackage can run unimpeded as well as traffic uninterrupted. I can provide a screenshot when it happens again (my vacation is almost over so I haven't loaded my city in a few days)

where does it happen
NA4U 8 Sep, 2022 @ 8:21pm 
is it normal that over time, some of the cars come off the track and cause train traffic jams? I don't know if its a node problem or not but I am using the R2 track network but it only seems to happen to the trains with the amfleet cars

It's a feature of the upcoming Railway 2 update.
