Description


Hello all togther !

This is the fourth of the BM - Underground Station Tracks. (you´ll find the other in the BM - collection)

This version comes without its "own station", because it can be used in various ways!
The idea to create it that way arose, after StayHungryStayFoolish asked, if I could update the new PP - metro stations in order to make them usable with my station tracks. I thought about that already myself, but didnt want to go through all the "hassle" with the pink ped pathways again.... well, his question triggered me to think about it again ... the result of all this is this version.

There are three ways, how this station track can be used.
The "best" way is to use it as a substitute of the first double station track, along with this station down below.



All methods how you can use it are explained down below under "Usage".



  • 2 tracks
  • 2 platforms
  • various design combination via the Adapative Network - Mod by Kian Zarin
  • "old" design - similar to the first 3 tracks
  • "new" design - with more open looking platforms and the use of "marble"
  • different platforms designs (concrete, cobblestones)
  • all props and certain meshes can be deactivated in order for you to customize the track yourself
  • REUSED all textures of the rest of the BM - collection, plus added some new ones [LSMr ! ;)]


  • AN - tracks
  • "added" rail switch (if you´ll use TMPEs lane connectors, you´ll get "extra meshes" without the rail switch
  • --> shown on the pics below






  • Overview of all AN Customisation - Options

  • Method I: How to use the track with the FTPs - Double Station
  • the RON - Mod by algernon is needed for that
  • select the station
  • choose this track in the drop down menu
  • build the station

  • et voilá ;) ... the best and easiest method. ;)

  • Method II: how to use the track with any Workshop/Vanilla Metro Station
  • the RON - Mod by algernon is needed for that
  • select the station of you choice
  • choose this track in the drop down menu (you have to untick "same width only")
  • build the station

  • as you can see it on the pic, the result isnt perfect
  • because this track is created with my FTPs staion in mind, its hight is higher than 12 m
  • in order to "fix" this, simply change the model via AN by Kian Zarin
  • change Hull [flat - non BM Station]


  • in the case the metro station you choose (as the one on the pic) is an un-updated one from before the SH - Dlc, then I suggest, that you extend the tracks length via Move It by Quboid
  • the props on the tracks are set up with a 18 tiles long track in mind

  • Method III: how to use the track "stand alone" with the help of my Entrance Buildings #02
  • place the track, or just update a part of your already built metro track
  • correct the height or change the hull (as explained above)
  • and add access to the platforms via the Entrance Buildings #02
  • thats it ;)



  • without the Adaptive Network - Mod by Kian Zarin, this network would be some kind of "mesh mess", therefore AN is absoulutely needed
  • the Custom Effect Loader - Mod by boformer is needed for the station track lights. Without this mod it´ll be dark ;)


  • the props are just decoration, but I highly suggest to use them as well. They´re for the atmosphere and also very light weight. They´re optimized for the LSMr as well and can individually deavtivated via AN.

  • for two of the three placement methods, RON by algernon is also needed.
  • the same counts for Move It by Quboid



As always ;)

Loading Screen Mod - created by thale5, fixed and updated by Klyte45 and
now maintained and improved by algernon.

  • all (currently) available BM - station tracks use the same texture set
  • Entrance Buildings (to connect ped pathways to the platforms)
  • and the other double Station Tracks of the BM collection



I´ll add them when they are back ... ;)



If you like this addition to the workshop... and you want more,
you could give it a thumbs up. :) That would be very much appreciated !!! :)

@dgrad598 as far as I know it is pretty hard to do underground stations for trams. Possibly this is why clus created only 1 such station, which looks like an underground tram station. See here.

@StayHungryStayFoolish: you cant grow things over the sunken stations link you can over metro/subway stations and thats why I asked clus to create a tram stations from one of his metro stations.
StayHungryStayFoolish 16 Apr, 2023 @ 1:27pm 
@dgrad598 you can do any tram stuff underground. Just make sunken lines, add PO objects around them, and cover them properly. I know it is pretty hard work, it takes hours or it could take days. Clus's sunken tram station acts like an underground station, I have a couple of them deployed in PazarCity5.

@clus: will you make underground tram stations? I don't like the sunken ones, it's not the same as subways. In Boston we have trollys/trams on the green line we use real underground stations. The rest of the subway is regular subway cars like New York.

@sour haribos In theory, yes.... but I´ll keep it as it is. ;)
dgrad598 1 Apr, 2023 @ 10:20am 
Yeah the white led lights are a great idea! I would also like to see an option to make the station platforms longer or shorter.
sour haribos 1 Apr, 2023 @ 8:47am 
is it possible to change the colour of the lights? I'd really like a more intense white:)

@JJoole hi. I´d love to add more complex/deeper versions etc... unfortunatley that wont happen due to the irratic behavior of the hidden ped connections. They are damn annoying to use in the editor and often they arent saved with the asset. :/

@𝓐𝓸𝓧𝓲𝓪𝓷𝓰, They work, depends on the demand to skip stops and where the express trains go. Just like New York city.
Phantom Xiang 21 Dec, 2022 @ 4:27pm 
@dgrad598 Do express train actually works?
I have tested in my city, most cims took the shuttle train, only a of them took the express one.
