Description
Amtrak Phase 7 - High-Floor Entry 'City of New York'

Compatible with


TWINDEXX is a brand new double trains previously manufactured by Bombardier (now Alstom) for Swiss Federal Railways. They are also known as 'FV-Dosto' in Switzerland. I was curious about how an Amtrak double decker EMU would look like, so decided to make this fictional variant, carrying Phase 7 color design. Later on, I made additional variants for high floor entry.

'City of New York' is an all high-floor entry, 6 cars long consist aimed to service short range commuter routes. Unlike LR variants, commuter variant does not have any restaurant coach. Pantograph height is compatible with Railway 2 networks, which they have NEC/PRR standard wire height.

Technical Details
  • TEXTURE SHARED: All trailers AND other versions of TWINDEXX share materials and textures, to optimize the performance and RAM/GPU load.
  • ADDITIVE SHADER: Forward and Reverse headlights based on direction.
  • 200kph/124mph speed.
  • 86 passengers per car.
  • Custom and optimized LOD
  • Detailed textures
  • Automatic pantographs: Pantographs lift or retract based on direction.

Recommended Mods
  • Improved Public Transport 2: To assign it to custom train lines: name begins with 'SBB TWINDEXX'
  • Additive Shader: For functional headlights.

if i remember correctly, i made r2 networks to have 200kmph speed, so it should not be the case.

Get Advanced Vehicle Options mod, and check there if train speed is slow or it's something else. If it's fine there, then we'll figure something else

I can't get this train past 93 mph. Is there a speed limit in your RWY2 networks? Is there a way to get them running at operational speed?

I like this a lot, I'm using this for my commuter rail services, but do you think you can make metro north stock, specifically the M2 and M8, because my city is New York inspired?
