Description

The bustling and historic North Jersey Coast Line of NJ TRANSIT® links the New York City metropolitan area with the northern portion of America’s famed “Jersey Shore,” and does so in captivating fashion.

Serving two great rail terminals – New York City’s Penn Station in Manhattan and the classic Hoboken Terminal across the Hudson River, the North Jersey Coast Line stretches more than 70 route miles to Bay Head, New Jersey. Trains on the NJ TRANSIT North Jersey Coast Line operate over Amtrak’s electrified Northeast Corridor to Rahway, then travel to what was once the famous “New York & Long Branch” along the Atlantic seashore to the iconic New Jersey railroad towns named South Amboy, Long Branch, and Bay Head. NJ Transit is one of North America’s largest and busiest commuter railroads, serving approximately 300,000 rail commuters and passengers each weekday.

Included with the NJCL route is NJ TRANSIT’s ultra-modern and unique Bombardier ALP-45DP “dual-power” locomotive, which can operate either from overhead AC catenary or as a diesel-electric locomotive. It is capable of speeds over 100 mph. The route also features NJT’s Comet IV commuter coach and a fully equipped, drivable Comet V cab car for push-pull operations.

Also included is the modern staple of NJ TRANSIT’s system operations, MultiLevel Cars and driveable Cab Car - perfect for recreating authentic NJ TRANSIT modern-day operations over the North Jersey Coast Line.

Looks wise the route is excellent. However, the performance on this route is abysmal. With an i7 6700k, 980 gpu and 32 GB system ram - frame rates are all over the place and sometimes in the teens. Horrible. Do not

Love the route. It looks great, with plenty to do. Different levels of difficulty available, but with a decent rig I can't pull decent fps. I have an i7 6700K, 32 GB RAM, 850EVO, and 950 EVO SSDs (games on the 850), 980

What a thoroughly interesting route. I was never going to buy this route as I thought it was just more of a local passenger train line. Fortunately it came as part of the "Pioneer" version of TS2017 and I am really

The North Jersey Coast Line has to be one of DTG's best offerings to date. Given that I live within proximity of the real route I have to admit that they have done a stellar job with this route. DTG overall have managed

Go buy the Morristown Extension during a sale. It is the exact same price, but includes this pack as well as the Morristown extension. That DLC effectively renders this DLC useless, IDK why DTG has decided to leave it
