Hey sqk, can confirm that I too have the milk jug thing in the same places that the previous poster has. I too have all DLC and extras and have done the verify install. Not sure why they keep popping up.

Hey CaptainAmtrak

Yes those are Loco DLC assigned to a QD. You can edit and change to what you like in the consist builder. Then select the QD I created for you and you will run up from West haven on the Northbound Amtrak (track 2) and go all the way to Old Saybrook in the Snow :)

The error I got said:

Consist Builder: Cannot load GE E-33 NH - EF-4 C&D

Am I missing a piece of DLC to use this route? I picked the NJT F40PH to do a test run

[PLEASE NOTE]
Disable Cab Control CTRL + D as the Tri-Light Penn Coal Signals are NOT supported and the cab control thinks the signal speed is Zero or Restricted and will keep slamming on the brakes. The BSRR is TS2013-2021 Compatible.

Hey Captain Amtrak! happy New Year!

I created a QuickDrive for you:

1. Select Quick drive
2. Pick Your Loco/Consist (if you take the ACELA beware all the speed changes :)
3. BSRR -> Depart West Haven Portal Trk2 -> Destination: Old Saybrook
4. Select Winter and Daytime

Cheers!

HI Sir! Milkjugs means an asset or DLC is being used that you don't have (or you need to redownload via the 'verify integrity of Game files' option on your Steam Library under Properties on Trainsim.

I just pushed the latest version to Steam Workshop for you which now completes all of New Haven! I'm still working the P&W Belle Dock Branch New Haven scenery.

The catenary is provided from the NYNH Route, Track is from the NEC Route

NEC = Route Template
NYNH = Track Rule + Signals + Catenary
Penn Coal = Tri-Signals
NYNH = Shore Line Route Catenary
Sherman Hill = Scenery + Buildings
Munich Augsburg = Scenery + Buildings
Stevens Pass = Roads + Grade Crossing Gates
Horse Shoe Curve = NEC Mileposts

Thanks for driving the BSRR!

Best,
-SQK
Wardawg 8 Dec, 2019 @ 9:33am 
Long time! For some reason I'm getting milk jugs for catenary and and I will assume bridges around Stat Street heading northbound.

Hi All, Just a heads-up

The BSRR will still run on TS2018 ( currently I am building in TS2017 and it should be supported in Workshop unless DTG changes something drastically)

Currently I have the route completely finished from Old Saybrook to Madison, and am working on a release that will represent almost 1500 hours of work. Stay Tuned!

Hey BVE, the Christmas tree is a shrunken down version from the Holiday Express :)
http://cs2bus.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=582899842

*During the rest of the Year, I just hide the tree below the ground ;)
BVERailer 2 Dec, 2017 @ 4:49pm 
I see you have utilized Christmas trees. Where can I find that object?
rarecommonsense 30 Jul, 2017 @ 7:16am 
Can't wait.
sqk4477  [author] 30 Jul, 2017 @ 7:14am 
Thanks Sir! We're getting close, just circling back down between I95 and the main from Clinton to Guilford, and then will do a MASSIVE One Year in the Making Release :)
rarecommonsense 30 Jul, 2017 @ 7:12am 
Eagerly awaiting the next update.
sqk4477  [author] 13 Jun, 2017 @ 6:56am

Wow this route is EPIC. The ammount of work done on it is mind blowing and there is more being done.
sqk4477  [author] 4 Mar, 2017 @ 6:35am 
GOOD THEN GO AWAY! (caps) :)
Or better yet!
You build a route for almost three years and I will come make stupid negative comments.
Sir Pentious 3 Mar, 2017 @ 5:05pm 
THERE IS TO MUCH TO BUY AND SOME OF IT IS RETIRED
sqk4477  [author] 21 Jan, 2017 @ 12:05pm 
Hi LawDoctor,
Thank you for your continued determination to get the BSRR running properly, I really appreciate it! :)

I Just released a new version 1.25 of the BSRR Full for you to workshop (with added Town of Madison details :)
*Note the BSRR Original ShortLine is a Final Route and will not be updated.
Please
1. Delete the old version
2. In Railworks (TS2017) goto SETTINGS --> TOOLS --> CLEAR CACHE
3. Restart Railworks and let the updated BSRR Version DownLoad

NEXT
1. Please TRY THIS FIRST: Make sure your SETTINGS --> GRAPHICS --> ADVANCED --> Scenery Density is set to MAX
2. Please take the QuickDrive starting GROTON PORTAL --> NEW LONDON heading to Old Saybrook STA Trk1.
3 The Both the New London Station and Miner Lane crossings are created with Pacific Surfliner Assets.
4. The Gould Lane and other Crossings on both BSRR Routes are created with Stevens Pass Grade Crossing Assets

Thanks!

sqk4477  [author] 10 Jan, 2017 @ 12:34pm 
Yep- "You Need the Base Route that your created the Template From" In this case the NEC North East Corridor DTG DLC.
So No NEC Route Installed results in a MadMax Wasteland. Thanks for the assist! Really Appreciate it!
Minerman146  [author] 10 Jan, 2017 @ 12:26pm 
So Route-blue print = the entire route DLC
sqk4477  [author] 10 Jan, 2017 @ 12:14pm 
Hey MM - Yep, you just need to have the NEC route installed (for the Route Blueprint to find the base-set assets, textures, etc.) Just the same as you Need Sherman Hill to run the Bergen.
Minerman146  [author] 9 Jan, 2017 @ 2:39pm 
Sqk4477 - when you say NEC route template , what do you mean? If I already have NEC no other action is required on my part to view your route. Is this correct?
sqk4477  [author] 8 Jan, 2017 @ 11:46am 
Thanks Train_for_fun, much appreciated! No harm no foul.
RailfanPepsi 8 Jan, 2017 @ 11:45am 
sqk4477, I am a mother who had no idea about all this chit-chat. I do appologize for what my son has written to you. I am really sorry for bothering you guys! Somebody will be grounded now....
sqk4477  [author] 8 Jan, 2017 @ 10:34am 
@Miner TRUE! I'll post a new version of the route with NOTHING and just a sign that says' Thank natasha_sohaneva: for this"
Minerman146  [author] 8 Jan, 2017 @ 10:33am 
It is not wise to mess with the Creator. Just sayin!
sqk4477  [author] 8 Jan, 2017 @ 10:32am 
Good Idea! I just deleted all your threads! DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YA!
sqk4477  [author] 8 Jan, 2017 @ 10:30am 
Ha! that's making a complementary asumption
Taconic Simulations 8 Jan, 2017 @ 10:29am 
Format your brain while you are at it, natasha_sohaneva.
sqk4477  [author] 8 Jan, 2017 @ 10:26am 
NOW you expect help! Format your Harddrive first
sqk4477  [author] 8 Jan, 2017 @ 10:18am 
Thanks Joshua Harkness!
Nonsense like this makes me want to take the route down off workshop
Taconic Simulations 8 Jan, 2017 @ 10:16am 
natasha_sohaneva: Actually, this "item", a route, actually does have tracks, perhaps you do not own the route in which the tracks are included? In which case, I highly recommend that you buy that payware route before complaining about this route, which, by the way, is one of the absolute best routes in Train Simulator. Thank you!
sqk4477  [author] 8 Jan, 2017 @ 10:00am 
@natasha_sohaneva Delete it then and GO AWAY!
