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.

Is there a diesel version of this train? The Twindexx?
