I would leave the industrial rail spurs in use in but not have trains running on them in game. They would only be serviced by one train every few days or something. Also I wouldn't have the rail cars on the tracks that are blocked off by the light rail station. They would have pulled cars out before taking the tracks out of service.
This line has the vibe of still being in use. Considering the ore and farming industries are booming in copper falls and the desert, it would make sense for the rail lines to still be active and servicing these farming and ore industries. Also a slow moving freight train rolling through there would look really good.
Personally, as someone from San Diego where the freight trains still run on the "light rail" tracks at night about twice a week, I think it would be great if those rails were functional, but as for in game and the region's history, I'm not so sure. Either way I think it's fine, although personally I lean towards having them functional. I do agree with others who pointed out that cars on abandoned lines would be removed first before the access point was scuttled.

This is honestly one of my favorite builds you’ve done yet, and it’s probably going to be one of the coolest spots in Oakwood. I just love seeing all the rails, and the sense of history/the area having a past is really immersive. Going to be super excited to see this side of the bay grow!
Whenever I see trains in Cities Skylines it makes me think of Broadway Junction here in New York City. It consists of all these various subway lines (I think 5 or so) that meet up to form this web of train trestles. Not to mention there's even a train yard nearby. It's just a very interesting site to behold.
Honestly, I personally like these types of videos, Springwood is insane about the detail, and I like how this is more like a laid back type of video. Enjoy your day and thank you for your amazing content keep it up. Much love, Quincy
If you fly over LA on google earth check out the LA river near Glendale and downtown. The city has spent millions revitalizing it with bike and walking paths, but it’s mainly a wide, empty concrete trench that runs through a lot of industrial areas. Parts of the LA river are often completely dry, other parts have little islands in the middle, some areas have sprung up homeless encampments. It’s essentially a canal with a dozen different personalities. (It’s where they filmed the final racing scene of ‘Grease’) It might be a cool addition to Oakwood near the old rails!
If you want to stop the swamp coloured water from spreading too much, you could put some of those water pollution filters in the river, and maybe there's also a way to turn them invisible too
I think turning part of the rail into a path/cycle track with an organic vibe like the high line in New York would be ace. would fit the vibes of the area perfect as well
The old Sacramento Northern interurban system, that ran over the Bay Bridge between Oakland and San Francisco, could serve as inspiration for the historical precursor of your light rail system over the bridge
You should look to sacramento for some inspiration. The blue light rail line passes through suburbs in the south next to a passenger/cargo rail.The light rail splits off and eventually goes east in between a freeway. But the cargo line keeps north to the midtown area and eventually by an industrial area where some buildings i think still use it for agriculture transport to farmers further north in the valley. There’s a lot of other stuff about sacramento that is similar to this project if you want to take a look.
In San Diego freight trains do crawl straight through the center of the city, and if you get stuck at a crossroad with one passing, they go so slow and are so long that it sometimes takes 15-20 minutes
Man I can't get enough of how well you understand cities and its environment, like I know those things are out there but almost never build it into the game. I think you're going in the right direction with your builds so I just can watch and enjoy. *** Also guys, does Procedural Objects impact the game performance a lot or not? I've beeen thinking on subscribing to it but idk if it's worth it with 16GB ram and 4GB of GPU, my game runs pretty smooth but I wouldn't like to force it that much I have to use this thing till I graduate from college
Procedural objects increases loading times proportional to how many objects you have. If you use it lightly, it shouldn't be too much of an issue. It might also make your game laggier - but again, that's proportional to how many and how complex POs you have in your save.
I think it would be great to see the freight rail be partially abandoned but one or two buildings still uses the rail. Just have to figure out a better way for the rail to crossover. Maybe the freight splits in between the station and intersection, one part goes on how it was and the other joins the light rail. You could say that the city used part of the existing rail infrastructure in the construction of the light rail. Off of the light rail, for just that little stretch, the freight trains can access the building
I think maybe replacing the building with the smoke stack with a frieght yard that is occasionally serviced would be awesome and a nice nod to the history of rail in Oakland, the western terminus of the Transcontinental Railroad. There's a ton of train stuff here and if you havent already, check out how frieght and Amtrak drive on the street at Jack London Square.
Just a thought I had: if the light rail should go past the oakwood long distance station, maybe do a championship tennis club that the light rail goes to. there are some amazing tennis stadium assets on the workshop, and you could detail it up like there is a tennis major tournament there, and have the light rail go out to service it when people are competing. Plus I think it would fit the vibe of oakwood and would add some interest to the city outskirts.
I like the idea of the industrial tracks being in use - if you could it would look really cool if you nuked the speed limits on those tracks to like 5 mph though. Seeing a little light rail scuttle past a train crawling next to it would be really cool.
Keep the Freight in use, but make it so trains come very infrequently. Also maybe consider extending the Tram line one more stop so it loops around nicely to stop the carriages glitching?
The light rail could use a park and ride at the end of it, with easy access to the highway. Also, abandoned rail lines would rarely have rail cars on them, and if they do, they're not as modern as the ones you've placed
At 6:48 you have railroad tracks going across pedestrian walk ways and other tracks going to and stopping at the side walk? And stop lights in what would be the middle of the railroad track? Never seen anything like that in my entire life. Just above that you have a 3 lane road that (appears) to go south into a two lane with no merge lane, that will lead cars into the center median.
Since the light rail and area are inspired by LA , I thought u might want to use the LA metro light rail train asset( the expo line) , which I’ve seen in the workshop and have used the train version of the same for my city . It will blend in beautifully with this scene!
In my area they've pulled many rail lines and converted them to bike paths...I can go 100s of km on old rail lines between towns and into the core of each one by taking these paths...
I feel like it would be awesome if u made the normal train cross the bridge as well. Then the bridge could become a potential bottleneck for trains. and it allows you to take trains from montana. in another direction.
i think you should extend the light rail line with more stops further into the suburbs of oakwood and build a turn around where there's space. i really like the tent in the abandoned industry area, have you considered having a tent city homeless encampment next to the highway? have you got self storgae garages in your build yet? juts some ideas to add to your list, keep up the good work.
First place in Cities Skylines detailing goes to @two dollars twenty(I thought it was real 😱) Second goes to Palm Island creator @Design Candy 🍬(I have never thoughtthat this community was this realistic😳). And third is @Pres (who is really amazingly realistic 👌 ) these are my thoughts

Hi two dollars twenty, loving the progress with Marble Mountain. The industrial area you were working on near Oakwood with it's abandoned freight lines are light rail running through it reminded me a lot of the Trafford Park area in Manchester in the UK. It has / had a lot of abandoned freight lines running through it that used to serve the industry around their, with part of it having recently rebuilt for a new Manchester Metrolink tram line through the area. www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.4675001,-2.3121805,2592m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en Keep up the great work, and I look forward to the next video. 👍
People need to realize that marble mountain is TDT and not there’s, if they are angry about something small like that then they can go and try to build the project themselves
I think you should change the boat paths under the bridge to be more realistic, for instance instead of going through the extremely narrow pillars have then go under the middle section.
What are you using to place the train cars on the rails? I have move it and prop anarchy, but it won't let me place railcars on the rails directly; I have to put them down on on open ground and then move them. Do I have to make them POs?
Not sure if this has been brought up but there is a train station in Oakland that they stopped using after the 89 earth quake that might be something you can do with a more abandoned industrial area. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16th_Street_station_(Oakland)
Well once you edit things while playing it can only be saved as a savegame not as only the map, so you would have to download the savegame and delete all the buildings and stuff, there's a road only savegame in the patreon if you are interested

At exactly 4:34 I had enjoyed that tram banter so thoroughly I had to pause the video and come comment and like.

17:40 actually, there is a vanilla abandoned factory as prop
Dam you’re so under rated, boys gives this guy more subs
Looking forward to the remodeling of downtown montana. It's quite crowded and it could use some breathing room. All cities need it!
In San Diego freight trains do crawl straight through the center of the city, and if you get stuck at a crossroad with one passing, they go so slow and are so long that it sometimes takes 15-20 minutes
If you want the chimney to stop emitting smoke, click the building and tick "abandoned". Also makes it look more abandoned.

Its funny that the train stops for the cars to pass😂 3:29
Another great ep man! Always love seeing marble mountain, lots of inspiration for my current city 👀
I'd call the additional station on the abandoned freight line "Dell Boulevard". Dunno why, I just like the idea.
Just a thought I had: if the light rail should go past the oakwood long distance station, maybe do a championship tennis club that the light rail goes to. there are some amazing tennis stadium assets on the workshop, and you could detail it up like there is a tennis major tournament there, and have the light rail go out to service it when people are competing.

0:53 flying car at the intersection
You could extend the light rail for one more station further into Oakwood and terminate it against the building so you cant see the glitchy tunnel
Looks so realistic 👌. Also does Montana have a Capitol building?
For the building mentioned at 17:40, I think turning it off will remove the smoke
4:30 you could make the tunnel entrance long and normal, and have the turnaround underground.
You are very creative.
Love your immagination.
You have an artistic soul.
This was one of your best built
I'd love more talks of Sydney in your videos
maybe have parts of the industrial line still in use but have most of it abandoned, just to add the vibe that its still being gentrified
I think the bridge should be called the Almendro Bay Bridge after the bay it crosses, or Oakwood bridge because it goes to Oakwood.
Id love to see a Drive in movie theatre on this side
Maybe adding more parking near the passenger train hub would alleviate some of those pesky flying cars?
At 6:48 you have railroad tracks going across pedestrian walk ways and other tracks going to and stopping at the side walk? And stop lights in what would be the middle of the railroad track?

You can stop the cars driving across the tracks/through the station if you disable parking on the 6 lane road
Do a bike path please. Look up Atlanta Beltline, its an old railway transformed into one of the stapes of Atlanta.
You should check out Denver Colorado light rail lines that go out to the south to the suburbs

Abandoned rails don’t have trains parked on them. Trains are removed beforehand.
