Amtrak Regional 130 & Acela 2154 Debacle @ Trenton - Train Sim World 3

"READ." - ‪@FanRailer‬
Due to the Acela being playable on Train Sim World 3's Northeast Corridor: New York - Trenton route, Dovetail Games decided to make EVERY Acela stop at Trenton. As a result, this odd debacle (most debacles are odd anyway) took place at Trenton.

In real life, Acela Express Train 2154 does not stop at Trenton, however Amtrak Northeast Regional 130 does, with a 9AM departure. When I played the 130 timetable service, i thought it was weird to spawn directly behind an Acela train when about 90% of the train didn't platform. So, I didn't open the doors until the Acela started to depart and I platformed the rest of the train. 2154's departure time is 8:58 AM.

I show the departures from both the engineer's perspective and the on foot perspective. Another weird thing is, if you spawn on foot at Trenton at 8:55AM, the Acela departs exactly at 8:58AM and Regional 130 follows it at Restricting Speed. However, if you spawn at 8:50AM, the Acela just sits there and Regional 130 pulls in and PLATFORMS with 90% of its consist still in FAIR Interlocking, WITH the DOORS OPEN.

This wouldn't happen in real life as 2154 would bypass 130 in the vicinity of Trenton. But man, this was a rather interesting meet. At least in my opinion.
