I don't know how it is in Australia, but where I live, is Czech republic, There aren't many maintenance roads around rail corridors. The maintenance is usually performed by rail-based vehicles, including cranes and other heavy machinery.
Totally unrelated but I love the Czech Republic. The railways are pretty good too. Especially in Prague the railways were nice. And Ceske Budejovice. Very nice cities.👍🏻
Look up: Bridge end, Wollstonecraft it's an example of service roads being used in the heart of our biggest city. And just round the next bend of railway just north of Wollstonecraft Station there is another big service road you can see from satellite view. Most of the train lines near me have them.
One of the train lines going into the 4 track station has the trains crossing over on to the wrong platforms -they're going from left hand drive entering the station to the right hand platform, then back to left hand drive exiting
Ok so railroads in a nutshell: Engine service areas (like what you built at the end) are for engine repairs and stuff. You then have classification yards for cars also called marshal or hump yards where cars are sorted for distribution. Essentially train one will pick up a bunch of stuff from one destination called a unit train, take it to a hump yard where it will be sorted to go wherever it’s gonna go, then those trains will move them to another classification yard then delivered or if it’s on the way, just delivered. The way you did it is actually pretty accurate. There’s lots of decent TH-cam videos on this if you’re interested and it’s pretty easy to learn the concepts
I think you should put more bushes and grass around the tracks, that will help making everything more realistic. Also as I know there aren’t any power lines connecting like that at minute 16:15. I study them and I definitely know that, it’s impossible for power lines to be connected. Anyway Saturday episodes are the best part of my weekend
I still think that there should be a rail passenger service from the airport into town, it would definitely be a good way of dispersing traffic plus it’s a decently common phenomenon for places that have rail, at least in Europe it is
There's going to be a metro running in the median of the highway. Places tend to have either metro or rail access to airport. Having both isn't unheard of, but it is very rare.
Yes it's needed. Probably not for the people living in Dundee cause they can take the metro, but for the people coming from Paterson and the other cities that are gonna be built in Oceania.
Some ports have areas where the hold large areas of brand new imported cars, trucks and heavy vehicles and there would be some equipment on floats and those truck trailers that carry multiple new cars.
would be pretty cool to have some graffiti on the quay/retaining walls at the sides of the railway - unsure about aus/nz but everywhere i have been it's really common beside railways!
I allways loved train work in Cities Skylines, even though i got no idea how train networks work irl. Some traintracks with a concrete base would fit very well to the harbour i think.
Down at the port where you had that awkward space you could have placed a couple of sidings. They are used to temporarily store wagons and locos with mechanical problems. Also a fuel point for locomotives might be realistic. These two things don’t require much space but make it look more realistic.
wow, the line where the Metro and railway run in one corridor reminds me of that portion in Washington DC where the Metro and Railway runs right next to each other. Pretty cool!!
@7:44 - that terminal is super busy because the other one has a toll to entry and this one doesn't have a toll. There should be a toll on both probably, or none on either. But kudos on the build, I love how it looks!
Just a thought but most ports (at least here in SA) will have a huge grain silo so that they can come off the trains and then be stored before export. That could work in that other area
You want to make the TMD (train maintenance depot) realistic but you made a 5 car V set, V sets only run in 4car or 4+4car consists. You also have 6 car trains running around like it's the cityrail days but current Transport Sydney Trains liveries.
Down the far end of the port where you have that rail, you should add a few sidings there with a bunch of loaded freight cars. Like when you added, but more with no engines.
I personally think that you should give the second part of the port the same treatment as the first one, with the asphalt floor and everything, because it's going to look really strange I think.
Where there are multiple rail lines next to each other use some bushes or remove a bit of gravel and add oil to reduce that very monotonous gravel look. Like around the yard!
i think there's one crucial thing your port need: just on the far edge of it there should be a dingy little lunch bar for the wharfies and the truckies to play salmonella russian roulette every day
I'm not sure about everyone else but I'm not liking the on/off ramps to the port. They look like they've been added on at the last minute. Maybe a rework for a proper interchange?

It’s the same where I live in the US
In Australia its a combination of the two - we use roads as well I think because of fire service requirements

Kinda similar in uk but we have the best train system we have a about 40 different rail type systems around the uk like trams etc
The "funny little area" next to the docks, with the redundant rail, could be propped as an oil refinery/gas import dock.
I like your thinking with this idea, some fuel tanker trains would look quite cool too.
It’s incredible what a different it makes seeing some of those last gaps in the urban core filled. Dundee looks amazing.
21:44 I see you've taken inspiration from Akruas' new flying trains
That ahhhhh
The disappointment in his sigh is priceless
One of the train lines going into the 4 track station has the trains crossing over on to the wrong platforms -they're going from left hand drive entering the station to the right hand platform, then back to left hand drive exiting
Those pristine concrete walls at 22:46 need some Melbourne-style street art!

In the UK train lines are often lined with Apple, Peach, Pear and Cherry trees because people used to throw stuff out of the train windows

Exactly, you definetly need a passenger rail service to the airport. It will help traffic a lot and it is way more realistic
There's going to be a metro running in the median of the highway. Places tend to have either metro or rail access to airport. Having both isn't unheard of, but it is very rare.
I don’t think he needs to build a train line since the metro will go to the airport
I was going to suggest it, if anything because the other side can bypass downtown. But there is nothing on the other side.
Yes it's needed. Probably not for the people living in Dundee cause they can take the metro, but for the people coming from Paterson and the other cities that are gonna be built in Oceania.

What a beautiful egg-a-bout you have there mate!
when that train suddenly flew and you let out this resigned sigh and then the video cut, it was so unexpectedly hilarious
You still have to place some tugboats in the port to really give it that realistic feeling
The cackle i let out at 21:45
Yo do the Wiggles exist in Oceania??
Hey Eck!
Absolutely. I think the Wiggles we’re playing in my house while most of Oceania was being made
Yes! Nice to see a new Episode! Should be studying for my finals on monday, but that can wait
It would be cool to see more pure bushland incorporated within the city similar to places like Balls head or Lane cove national park in Sydney.
21:45 that train went wee
would be pretty cool to have some graffiti on the quay/retaining walls at the sides of the railway - unsure about aus/nz but everywhere i have been it's really common beside railways!
Just north of Wollstonecraft Station in Sydney is a great example of an Australian service road in real life
I allways loved train work in Cities Skylines, even though i got no idea how train networks work irl. Some traintracks with a concrete base would fit very well to the harbour i think.
Omelet roundabouts and jumpy trains? What a time to be alive.

All hail the egg-about as it is the most eggcelent and eggciting addition to the city
Any Cranes/ heavy Container Lifter near the cargo train station would make it much cooler in the cargo port.
Down the far end of the port where you have that rail, you should add a few sidings there with a bunch of loaded freight cars. Like when you added, but more with no engines.

I propose you name the town *Almularray* - which is Yarralumla in reverse.
Reason - I have always loved the name Yarralumla.
You know what's *really* overdue? an update on your wonderful map!
You definitely need to use more wooden sleepers for the tracks as not all tracks have been upgraded or updated to concrete sleepers
I love this series so much, it inspired my TH-cam series lol.
These really help make my Saturday mornings. Cheers mate!
21:47 Best moment ever 🤣🤣🤣
I just thought of this, You could have a rail museum out of the city (ie Paterson) Great excuse to have a steam train.
You could call the suburb Rusty Hill. It fits with the industrial/train theme there.
Where there are multiple rail lines next to each other use some bushes or remove a bit of gravel and add oil to reduce that very monotonous gravel look. Like around the yard!
Wooohoooooo Oceania again! Nice egg-about hehe, good livestream
That's a fine addition you built. For the new suburban small town centre you built next to that train station, how about *Wollaston?*
Something like a huge Crown Casino would be a cool addition I personally think
could call that suburb Kingston, like the Arnott’s biscuit, it also has a mid 20th century sound to it
The new suburb could be called "Poxbox" which is the slang name for a type of train in the south and south east.
i think there's one crucial thing your port need: just on the far edge of it there should be a dingy little lunch bar for the wharfies and the truckies to play salmonella russian roulette every day
19:12 that tram could not climb that hill, nor safely descend it.
Great episode ! Shrewsbury or Greensboro for name suggestions
man I love your videos, your content is so great
I don’t know how it is in Australia, but in the UK we don’t have fried egg roundabouts.
21:48 Your reaction is golden 😂 😂
that fucking train at the end KILLED ME
The access roads are cool!
But they're not needed for track works 😉
Track works can be done from the tracks themselves by specialized trains
The buses aren’t using the bus lanes on the road because they’re all defaulted to left hand turns!
Always love a good Oceania episode
Should try a save where the whole map is a giant city, see how that works out
Why not a passenger ferry terminal where you put the prop freight train? Look at Dunkirk for an example of a one-two car ferry terminal.
Maybe Ninewells for the suburb name suggestion, it's a suburb of Dundee, Scotland
I think when you start to think about the airport I'd say do a mixed industrial and airport car company places around
That small little town could be named Lawerence
I suggest Berkley as the name for the shopping district
my brain is fried like the roundabout egg
Love it! Keep up the good work! When is the new series going to be coming out?
Suburb ideas, alkimos after a famous WA ship wreck that I grew up near.
Am I seeing things or is there a fried egg roundabout
Yes it's from the live stream haha
Loved the video! Marmalade for a name suggestion :)
The flying train got meeeee 💀
15:25 Name suggestion: Gopher Junction
1:14 the round about kind of looks like an egg
Yes it's the fried egg-a-bout from the live stream
Cemetery Station or Cemetery Crossing for the new neighborhood
Anyone else than me who hates the vanilla tram tracks and thinks that they look like roads with a brighter colour and arrows on them.
Pls Add in the Sydney Harbor Bridge that goes into the City & maybe the Sydney Opera House as well thx.
Challenge: try get that money counter green
Do street art and graffiti decals exist for City Skylines? Seriously needs some of that on all those blank walls around the train lines
speaking about the traffic in the map being so messy, why not asking to biffa to fix it for you?😂😂
I'm not sure about everyone else but I'm not liking the on/off ramps to the port. They look like they've been added on at the last minute.
Maybe a rework for a proper interchange?
Love the series and I tried downloading the map and assets, but my computer keeps crashing. Do you have any ideas?
I vote for Dave as the suburb name
how do you drag your walls like that.. I always have to place one by one :(
How did you do the tunnel entrance that can be seen at 22:46? Is there some kind of asset for that?
Port needs more parking space
15:20 - that's wheyour residents will go to buy their drugs.
Why you not using the Melbourne Metro and Vline trains?
15:30 it can be queens town
Does the DCG host any ashes matches?
21:45 XD
Name suggestions: Maitland or Clairemont 🤷🏻♂️
what the hell just happened at 12:35 with the truck and the car at the bridge over the rails. ? o.O
So glad the city isn't actually complete. . .
do you have a Campbelltown in Australia? could you name a town Campbelltown. i live in the original C town lol
Let's Gooooooooo!!!!!!
Four Dollars Twenty
What mod is the steam engine?
Call the area Ashland
Trains are either 4 cars or 8 cars with two 4 car sets not 5 cars like near the end that made me cringe so much
dolphin train
C'mon, when's the new series starting!!
7:40 that train is way too long for that terminal 😂 is there a way to define train models for cargo terminals?
