Update 6: Added trains with passenger car interiors including the ETR 575 freeware from (https://web.lunman3d.es/downloads.php?cat_id=7&download_id=45)(TGV or Shinkansen enginespec recommended, so they won't slow down the Shinkansen trains)
and the ETR1000 payware from Trainz Store. (this train was only lightly tested in this route)
Update 7: Tweaked the messages so the trains won't get stuck as much. This took two months of testing.
Update 8: Added track from Nags Head to the Virginia border.
Update 9: Added passengers to all Shinkansen stations. Each station contains around 25 percent of the current population in the nearest town, divided among the platforms, plus a few tourists.
Watch a demo of this route here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJ_9cbnnFU8&t=1880s. A fictional route where a Shinkansen (Bullet Train) runs in the Outer Banks area of the United States. This route starts at the Virginia - North Carolina border, then continues south to Corolla, next to the Currituck Beach Lighthouse. An Amtrak line linking the Outer Banks with Raleigh and Rocky Mount also stop here. The line continues south, where Amtrak stops at Duck and Southern Shores. Shinkansen skips these stops. The line continues to Nags Head on Bodie Island. Amtrak stops at WHALEBONE, where it splits away from the Shinkansen route to go to the Bodie Island Lighthouse, then to the mainland. Shinkansen continues south crossing the Dexter Stetson Memorial Draw Bridge, a lift bridge linkink Hatteras Island with Bodie Island, Stops at Buxton at North Carolina Highway 12 and Lighthouse Rd, near the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. Then it continues west, crosses the George H. W. Bush Memorial Bridge, a long 8-track bridge linking Hatteras Island with Ocracoke Island, then stops at Ocracoke Village on Lighthouse Rd. Across the street is the Ocracoke Village Lighthouse. Then it goes up a six-track ramp and crosses The Great Ocracoke Inlet Bridge, a large 6-track lift bridge linking Ocracoke Island with Portsmouth Island. Since there are no stops in Portsmouth Island, it continues across the Great Island Bridge, a lift bridge linking Great Island (Harkers Island) with Portsmouth Island. Two tracks then split away from the mainline and terminate at Cape Lookout Lighthouse. Meanwhile, the remaining four tracks cross the Black Diamond Bridge, a lift bridge over Lighthouse Bay linking Great Island (Harkers Island) with Shackleford Banks. The bridge is named for the black diamonds on the Cape Lookout Lighthouse, visible from passenger's point of view when crossing the bridge. The train stops at Shackleford Banks, across the bay from the Cape Lookout Lighthouse. The Currituck Beach, Bodie Island, Cape Hatteras, Ocracoke and Cape Lookout Lighthouses are also visible. If you're having trouble getting some of the Shinkansen to work in Driver, replace their enginespecs with 'tgv' enginespec and they'll work. I have no idea why this happens in TRS2019. I like the water effacts and the lighting effects on the lighthouses, so I figured I'd make this for TRS2019. Enjoy!
