This add on is good. The stations are quaint and look even better in the rain. The only problem is it takes a lot of practice to drive the trains in the rain, but I give it a 9.5/10!

Do not buy this route individually! Instead, buy the Train Sim World 2020 Collector's Edition, which gives you access to this route plus: Great Western Express Long Island Rail Road: New York - Hicksville Main Spessart
