Description
This is a "Split" level, where two halves are 100% separated from each other, and are only "connected" because of the area's stations. This type of level is best used when each half of the level is too simple to really be all that engaging on their own, but having both gives players a bit of diversity in train types. After all, each segment has no more than 4 trains across 30 minutes on their own.
This level is loosely based on two random tram systems I found while looking at the Tokyo network. One route was a reversing loop with just five stations, only one not being on the loop, and containing an interesting maintenance shop (represented with one of the loop stations missing in Central-Maryweather-Tiller), and the other was just three stops with two tracks on the end stations and one on the middle, although there was a simple passing siding near the single-track station. Both stations on this line connected to other rail services. (Represented with Janson Terminal and Opal River.)

The tunnels are only used as makeshift autoblocks of a custom length so the trains can reach their destinations on time. I didn't need the autoblocks for holding multiple trains, after all, so it just made sense to do things this way.

First time trying it, somehow didn't get penalised for putting two trains on the wrong platform of the Jason terminal, and didn't realise that they had to go back to the coach yard until it was almost too late.
I really loved this one!
