At The Railyard: 1904 New York City

...New York City has always been well known around the world, but its fame was different at the turn of the 20th Century. The city was still very industrial at the time, and the five boroughs had just been created. Can this Microsoft Train Simulator route, which contains the IRT Subway network and the 3rd Avenue Elevated, take you back over 100 years to the big apple?

Nice use of While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Really brings some of the scenes together. Very nice Nick.

They had steam engines on those Subways? I never knew that, nice review!

mafia 1 City of Lost Heaven

[@Mnrr6131]

They sure did

[@TailsFan369no2]

That’s elevated

[@844SteamFan]

The elevated lines, not the subways.

wow, 2 reviews within a week, good effort Nick, hope we can one day see some Australian stuff. Great job man =D Cheers

Minor nitpick, but I noticed the steam locomotives are smol saddle tanks. They did work in New York around this time, but not the IRT. I think the steamers were 0-4-4T or 2-4-4 Forney Bogies. They were apparently a favorite among rapid transit lines before EMU sets But everything else is great!

Nice review Nick. Did you know the push for building subways in Manhattan in the late 1800's was because on the south end of the island the *daily* accumulation of horse manure across the streets was in excess of 9-12 inches? Now that's a real incentive!

[@844SteamFan]

oof lol

High noon in the summer was a quieter time in the city and that’s when most vintage photographers were taken

A four year old route gets the seal of approval but not a newer route of the Donner Pass XD

[@etozorak1]

Very nice artistry, Nick. Seamless and engaging

[@crayzbotzz700]

fantastic review as usual =D keep it up!

[@Babydux]

I was very impressed with the video and the simulations were wonderful. It would be interesting to incorporate the simulations into a game like RR Tycoon.

Wow, this route portrays NE cities a lot better than the Northeast Corridor did. All those buildings looked the same, and there wasn't a lot of them.

[@tf51d]

Just a little clarification only the Manhattan portion of the El was dismantled in the 50's, the Bronx section (Gunhill Rd to 149th st) operated until the April 1973, when it was replaced with a NYC express bus (The BX55)

[@trainluvr]

Very nicely made video.

[@luissalcedo6493]

Cool video

[@GintaPPE1000]

Nice review Nick. Sorry I wasn't able to comment sooner.

[@CoastStarlight11]

Nice!

Saw, could you review the Irish Enterprise South by Making Tracks?

[@elias7748]

I doubt they had cars on every street lol

[@rarename133]
