The MBTA is actually expanding down as far as the South Coast, where Easthaven County is located, so yeah calling it the MBTA Commuter Rail is appropriate. I would suggest making the line colour purple though, since that's the colour used by all commuter rail lines.
I think it would be really cool if you built a little beach town on one of the further away smaller island and have no road connections to it. Instead set up some ferry service to it, replicating Martha’s Vineyard/ Nantucket islands off the coast of MA.
Great videos! After having watched them for a while I now struggle to watch other CS streamers. Your cities just seem so spot on. One thing I would like to see more of is the following of vehicles around your cities, especially the trains.
Boston has a big population of healthcare workers, many who might work strange hours. 11-7 is not uncommon, so a 10:30 comm rail user is perfectly realistic!
Like you said, the commuter rail doesn’t go to this part of mass, but the closest service I can think of is the CapeFLYER so maybe the name of the like is named after that.
Chowder Bay train station reminds me of a small scale version of the Main Street station in Richmond, Virginia with the bridge going right over it. Also the Main Street on chowder bay is similar to Monument Ave in Richmond with the parallel 1 way roads with trees in the middle
Each district in New England have their Sheriff, along with the "ordinary" police force so you could probably plop a couple more of those police stations down. Portland, Maine have a lot of cops. Some of them are actually working.
Really like the vids and the chill vibe that comes with it. Thanks for posting the music details! What kind of playlist are you getting the music from? Thanks in advance
In my opinion in think the east haven county map doesnt fit the southern shores or Massachusetts, it gives off more southern alaska vibes. But if you want this to be in new england i would suggest putting it in maine as there are more islands there than massachusetts
lol, the naming of the neighbourhoods reminded me of Copenhagen's train station names - Vesterport, Nørreport, Østerport. I wonder where you got your inspiration from :D
I think it would be really cool if you actually build a train station on the island where you build the rail yard. You have a big downtown AND a harbor there. A regional train station would be a minimum requirement for the kind of traffic this creates. Your train line goes practically though downtown...
Nice! My only issue is too few houses facing the sea. Coastline should be utilized more, ameriburgers are willing to pay premium for such property, so it's everywhere.
i think the bypass track should be on the other side of the depot ,like if a train wants to pass at high speed it won't make sense it to have level crossing when another option is to have track on other side of depot
Nice additions (although 'm not sure why most folks seem to need the railyard to be a "through" yard...). Anarchy always on as the default mode makes me very twitchy but maybe that's just me! 8D It's be interesting to see how that train line rides, but if you've got Preserve Photo Mode installed you won't be able to use the trail camera to follow anything I'm guessing.
To make it more realistic you should have more beach and park areas; as if you look at this landscape from above IRL you can see a lot of designated beach and park areas.
Really nice work, but the use of Anarchy when it's not needed kind of drives me nuts. Turn it off unless absolutely necessary. And, the custom lot around 35:00 needs more detailing for the pavement. No parking lot would look that way. 😆
Unfortunately, mail service doesn't work via ferry because they are passenger ferries only (even if you have a post offices and a mail sorting facility) it still complains (another broken aspect of CSII)
I might actually change the grass textures again - this new theme is fantastic but I think the grass looks very saturated in combination with my PreservePhotoMode mod settings :-)
I think the road maintenance depot caused the reduction in crime, not moving the department! Each road accident needed a police car dispatched too it, they were spread too thin
I likey bro. Could you do the same detailed build on this series like you did on that recent “European” town you built. That level of detail would be perfect for this series. The zoning aspect of CS is fucking comedy. I thought they would’ve outted that stupid system but no they’re just lazy and useless 😂
I have to say the most unrealistic part of the game is the water 😂 The texture is always the same and does not look like real ocean. Plus the lakes have the same texture as the ocean. Is there no mod?

can you release saves for any of your maps?

Can't wait for Riverview trains.
i think adding a college area would be neat
College and Hospitals, two things Boston is known for!
make sure to set the police stations to only operate in their areas. awesome video as always!

Don't worry too much about terraforming. Most of Boston is built on filled-in bay or lopped off hills.
I am Glad you liked my Map Theme. Enjoy!!!
Loved the street level cinematics! Also, a row house district close to the port of westpoint would be quite realistic
Great series! You had tunnel vision on that rail yard placement, should have considered re-routing the highway and placing it closer to the bay.
Boston has a big population of healthcare workers, many who might work strange hours. 11-7 is not uncommon, so a 10:30 comm rail user is perfectly realistic!
I love this build. Eastheaven is coming along beautifully! As for the MBTA line, would you consider making it purple? :P
Ah, yes of course! :D
Glad you like it!
Perfect Timing for a perfekt vidio❤

You can assign districts to your Police Stations/Fire and Hospital so that patrol cars will be patrolling specific areas
If it's the MBTA is running the East Haven Line, you know the trains are going to be late, break down, and catch on fire.
Chowder Bay train station reminds me of a small scale version of the Main Street station in Richmond, Virginia with the bridge going right over it. Also the Main Street on chowder bay is similar to Monument Ave in Richmond with the parallel 1 way roads with trees in the middle
Awesome video. Personally, I’m not a fan of the bright colours and autumn trees. I prefer shades of green 🌳🌲
another banger of a video. This is my favourite of your cities
Each district in New England have their Sheriff, along with the "ordinary" police force so you could probably plop a couple more of those police stations down.
Portland, Maine have a lot of cops. Some of them are actually working.
What a inspirer you are! Fantastic! Thanks for this serie.
Very nice !
I think people in Westpoint have trouble with other services though.
I will be happy to watch your next video!
don't forget to scramble those fire station these time :D
Really like the vids and the chill vibe that comes with it. Thanks for posting the music details! What kind of playlist are you getting the music from? Thanks in advance
Its not a good monday until infra kicks in!😂😂
Love the new icon, its been a bit since I've visited this channel but your videos still look amazing

idk if you’ll see this but i live in the northeast and sometimes, very occasionally they will just build a bridge over the railroad
Another great video. Keep it up!
being this creative with building is more than enough. If you're also creative with names, it would be downright unfair 😄
I think it would be really cool if you actually build a train station on the island where you build the rail yard.
You have a big downtown AND a harbor there. A regional train station would be a minimum requirement for the kind of traffic this creates.
Your train line goes practically though downtown...
A big costum made bus terminal in one of the two cities would be good to connect the county to the outside world, not only by train.
Nice! My only issue is too few houses facing the sea. Coastline should be utilized more, ameriburgers are willing to pay premium for such property, so it's everywhere.
I understand that the Road maintenance building needed to be built but if you were going for realism the road quality should be terrible
i think the bypass track should be on the other side of the depot ,like if a train wants to pass at high speed it won't make sense it to have level crossing when another option is to have track on other side of depot
Nice video bro. I like the layout of the city. I subscribed.
I used to live in Ventura, California! A lot of non locals had trouble with the pronunciation lol
Like that you call your transportation Authority MBTA, accurate to the location
Nice additions (although 'm not sure why most folks seem to need the railyard to be a "through" yard...). Anarchy always on as the default mode makes me very twitchy but maybe that's just me! 8D

a natural national park would be interesting ❤
I think you should make a town on an island connected only by a ferry
Unfortunately, mail service doesn't work via ferry because they are passenger ferries only (even if you have a post offices and a mail sorting facility) it still complains (another broken aspect of CSII)
0:50 I think it's AMX world, or maybe AM featuring world (X as a crossover).
Nice new map theme
Add a bus route for all the people living there. Will be super handy for all the citizens.
To be honest, I prefer the old map theme instead of this new one.
I might actually change the grass textures again - this new theme is fantastic but I think the grass looks very saturated in combination with my PreservePhotoMode mod settings :-)
I like the new map theme with the stone cliffs, but the red trees is a bit much to look at, personally
Being in Massachusetts... wouldn't it rather be Eastpoint?
we need a no railyard needed mod asap
what? nah
I think the road maintenance depot caused the reduction in crime, not moving the department! Each road accident needed a police car dispatched too it, they were spread too thin
Make some nature trails and tourist attractions.
i think this county should have an actual port
damn i’m from ventura that would’ve been sick
You need to give the police stations zones btw. Will proby drop the crime rate even more
hey, great Video! How did youu get thes nice colored trees?
Wont the railyard trees grow thru the warehouses?
Which package do you use for texture?
How come when I press my home button in developer mode that building menu doesn’t pop up? Can anyone help me please?
I likey bro. Could you do the same detailed build on this series like you did on that recent “European” town you built. That level of detail would be perfect for this series. The zoning aspect of CS is fucking comedy. I thought they would’ve outted that stupid system but no they’re just lazy and useless 😂
Put your map on thunder store
what are your computer specs?
niceeeee
Many services assets are too big. :(
I think you are using non official mods
Give is more plsssss
I have to say the most unrealistic part of the game is the water 😂 The texture is always the same and does not look like real ocean. Plus the lakes have the same texture as the ocean. Is there no mod?
Also, you can get drinking water from the ocean from the water pump. It should require a desalinization plant
