1. Use the better bulldoze mod to remove all the rails from the station. Select the option "node" only.
2. You will have to replace manually the rails with vania, but you must use a special one so : open FIND IT and select roads >> train >> vania. You'll see 4 types of rails. One of these rails (the second one for me) create a link on every node between the left rail and the right rail, like this :
=><= here is the solution ! So use this one to replace all the 4 rails of the station. After this TAKE AGAIN THE NORMAL VANIA RAILS to make the connexions between stations.
3. You now can create the lanes and make connexions without any bug. Save your game, and you'll see all working well with vania rails BUT : you must subscribe to RAILWAY 2 or the station won't load.

@Pperson25 ; @Malcom : both troubles got the same solution. @Malcom : It seems that some rails can not be used to make the link between two stations or with outside connexions (for myself the lanes on the left and on the right). This solution can aslo be used to replace the rails from RAILWAY 2 by the vania rails. Second part up

can I get a version without railway replacer?

I can't seem to get any intercity trains to come to this station. I've tried rebuilding my rail networks a couple times and that hasn't seemed to help. Any idea what could be causing this?
Zarrix  [author] 23 May, 2023 @ 4:43am 
@the_wombat unlikely caused by this asset, or any asset by that matter.
Might be an actual mod incompatibility. Please check out LOM (Load Order Mod), there is a bunch of functionality that will help you figure out the issue.

@Billy The Dog the only needed asset is Railway 2 American Concrete Station Tracks (High Entry) by REV0.
The Loading screen mod is not necessary and there is an updated version of it.
Still everything should work fine, as I have tested the station on the most recent version of the game.
All my station still work and I am able to use them as they are supposed to be used.

@the_wombat ; @Zarrix : not borken but you need all dependencies. Zarrix : this asset is really good but needs other mods that are no longer supported, can you make a version without railway 2 ?
the_wombat 9 May, 2023 @ 8:27am 
This asset seems to be broken. When I have this asset placed in game, the next time I load my savegame, all the buildings in the surrounding area either disappear or are flickering.
1ama 28 Apr, 2023 @ 11:56am 
@Big Red do you have all the required assets? and yes, it is a detailed building, but unless you're playing on a really old device, you can safely ignore that

This asset fails to load into my game and there is a warning about high triangle count on mesh.
PanterC 27 Feb, 2023 @ 9:27am 
Using the right tracks, can't get the station to work.
Raizumichin 15 Dec, 2022 @ 11:43am 
Awesome asset that I'll be using for my next project. But what is that tall building right next to it in the screenshots, if you don't mind me asking? I know I've seen it before, but I forgot to subscribe and now I can't find it.

cant wait for the north side of the station
[TSC] MuteCity 26 Sep, 2022 @ 5:07pm 
hi, for some reason trains doesn´t get to the station
sam.lieu.t.e 22 Sep, 2022 @ 10:15am 
would it be possible to have a version of the station with a building at a 90 degree angle? :)
Zarrix  [author] 15 Sep, 2022 @ 7:51pm 
Updated: all platform should be working now.
Maxxwell 7 Sep, 2022 @ 6:07pm 
I like to modify this with a subway entrance at the corner round, middle doors.
Makes it look like a METRO entry, also.

Really well made.
Thanks.:steamthumbsup:

@zarrix I havnt modified the tracks within the station, also tried using the station tracks for the tracks connecting to the station to see if that was the issue, otherwise I just used the american concrete set. when I build a vanilla station connected to the AC set it works just fine. I'm sure im missing something
Embeddeddeer97 2 Aug, 2022 @ 8:54am 
@Zarrix I use the right side so then my rail lines dont get in the way of intercity trains, also allows more use of the station, left works fine on all platforms
Zarrix  [author] 2 Aug, 2022 @ 7:44am 
@jesse.kilmon, are you using the tracks requir for the asset? In case you replace them I'm not sure it would work, and if yes they need to be station tracks and not normal tracks, since station use spawn points for trains and with normal tracks it will not work.

@embeddeddeer97 try using the left side since I think it's supposed to work like that. I have tested many times and it always worked. P.S. why would you use the right side instead? :)
jesse.kilmon 2 Aug, 2022 @ 6:35am 
gorgeous asset but I cant seem to get trains to go to the station for the life of me. Any advice? I've tried rebuilding it, rebooting, changing the tracks leading into the station from vanilla to every possible combo of the station tracks....it sucks to have this beauty sitting empty in my city.
Embeddeddeer97 1 Aug, 2022 @ 10:31am 
Hello. I seem to be having an issue with 3 of the 8 track segments. For some reason if I set a stop on the right side of a track (if you are looking at it from the tracks going into the station) then the stop effectively doesn't work. Passengers at the previous station will leave and no one will wait for that train line at the boston station. This is an issue for all right hand side platforms other than the far right edge, again if you are looking at it from the track side. Im sure this will end up being a personal issue with a mod of some sort given no one else has brought up the issue.

add the emply heroin needles around the building for detail so its just like real life!
Paul 24 Jun, 2022 @ 6:53am 
Could you please release a version with vanilla tracks? I’m having so many problems with these.
DragonFire 18 Jun, 2022 @ 11:07am 
Hey I made a video about your Mod I hope this is ok https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VT8wGQe5QdI
zhangzyhope通辽可汗千户侯 18 Jun, 2022 @ 4:10am 
Could you be so kind as to replace the tracks with vanilla tracks, or the relevant document would be so big that the computer would break down!
Fetch 14 Jun, 2022 @ 1:01pm 
@Gurning Chimp If it wanted to keep with reality, there would be a metro station under it. Or even 2, as Red & Silver lines pass under South Station. Silver is bus, but it was supposed to be metro like Red and Orange, or light rail like Green and Blue.
Gurning Chimp 13 Jun, 2022 @ 4:00pm 
Lovely model, wish it used vanilla tracks so it can be converted into a metro terminal, but hey-ho.
ArchTeryx 13 Jun, 2022 @ 8:20am 
@Zarrix I've recently begun learning 3D modeling myself and assets like this never fail to stun me. You did a gorgeous job with this asset and I can only imagine how complex it was to model!

How much did the commission cost? You may well have gotten a new customer just from this!
Zarrix  [author] 13 Jun, 2022 @ 7:43am 
Yeah the platform texture is the same, but the Boston ones are wider cause of game design. Though i included an extension for it.
Eylem 12 Jun, 2022 @ 5:56pm 
Nah I meant the platform textures, not the tracks ahh nvm
Zarrix  [author] 12 Jun, 2022 @ 5:46pm 
@Eylem yes, it's using the same tracks.
Eylem 12 Jun, 2022 @ 7:41am 
@Zarrix Is your West Haven Station Platform compatible with this asset's platforms? to make it a lil bit more custom?
äo t0ad 12 Jun, 2022 @ 5:06am 
gut Für das Weiter spiel nach den 100.000 Einwohnern
Kitten Mittens 11 Jun, 2022 @ 10:35pm 
amazing
chinzo 11 Jun, 2022 @ 6:41pm 
looks perfect! let's look at commissioning its friend, the td garden/north station transit hub. beautiful
ducksi 11 Jun, 2022 @ 6:12pm 
Incredible, I was just there
AmiPolizeiFunk 11 Jun, 2022 @ 1:56pm 
nice work. I'll be passing through here soon
crm76 11 Jun, 2022 @ 10:35am 
As a courier I delivered many, many packages to South Station.if you haven't read up on the news for there lately, they're in the process of building a 51 story tower on top of it. It's going in on the back left hand side next to the Post Office. Excellent work!
mr_albaby 11 Jun, 2022 @ 8:09am 
Yes! My current city map is based on Boston. Had been looking at this station on google maps for inspiration and now I can view it in my city thanks to this wonderful asset.
REV0 11 Jun, 2022 @ 4:34am 
People who have issues with station tracks because it's "too large":

Filesize shown on Workshop is irrelevant, station tracks are not 500mb and not add extra load of 500mb into your PC. If that was the case none of the people would use Railway 2, or any other network pack.

Loading Screen Mod sorts it out, by only loading one network into the RAM and use that data for other networks.

As long as network is visually same (aka concrete set, wooden set etc.) extra RAM load is about 40mb for ENTIRE set (including regular networks, mainlines and station tracks).
Jackkk 10 Jun, 2022 @ 6:44pm 
Great work!!!

The ACST data is too large, can u release a version that uses vanilla asset???
girlfromverona 10 Jun, 2022 @ 5:50pm 
Wow!
Gaseous Stranger 10 Jun, 2022 @ 3:12pm 
This is so freaking awesome
veronique.corrdin 10 Jun, 2022 @ 1:52pm 
been waiting for this. What about north station
Bot Brattigan 10 Jun, 2022 @ 1:51pm 
YESSSSSSSSSS
LDtailor 10 Jun, 2022 @ 1:31pm 
This is why i love this game. Amazing.
The Crap Slapper 10 Jun, 2022 @ 10:07am 
Would this still work if I don't have REV0's railway pack? My current computer can't handle it
NCR Veteran Ranger 10 Jun, 2022 @ 9:03am 
OMG, in love! :steamhappy:
ZanderTheMander 10 Jun, 2022 @ 7:59am 
YES
