NEC: New York - Trenton (2024)

Note: This page is about the route from New York City to Trenton. For other routes, see Boston Sprinter or NEC: New York.

Northeast Corridor: New York - Trenton is a route in Train Sim World 3. It features 58 miles of tracks between the Sunnyside yard, close to New York Penn, and Trenton. The route features a new operator: NJ Transit, with a new locomotive, the ALP-46. It also marks the return of the ACS-64 from Amtrak, last saw in Boston Sprinter, and the return of the Amfleet Cab Car, last saw in the NEC: New York extension, SW1000R. It is the third Train Sim World route on the Northeast Corridor, but the second that is playable in Train Sim World 3 since NEC: New York is not a Train Sim World Compatible extension.
