The Key System (Update 3: Streetcars and Streamliners)

Description
Background

Originally opened in 1903 by Francis "Borax" Smith, the Key System was an electric interurban railway that connected the cities of the east bay to the bustling city of San Francisco. While originally relying on a fleet of ferries to transport passengers across the bay, the opening of the Bay Bridge in 1938 allowed trains to run all the way into downtown SF to the newly opened Transbay Terminal. Though the Key System eventually ceased operations in 1960, you can still experience this unique operation in Rolling Line!

Latest Update: Streetcars and Streamliners
This latest update is a strange one, as a fair portion of it does not focus on the Key System. You see, a fair portion of the H Line (which is the primary focus of this update) is paralleled by the Santa Fe's line into Emeryville, hosting such name trains as the Golden Gate and the San Francisco Chief. But that's not all! Along with the full H line and the AT&SF sections this update also includes the short G line branch to Westbrae, a local trolley service that interchanged with the H line at University Avenue. Thanks again for all the support for this project, I hope you enjoy!

Probably some day, I've just had a lot on my plate for the past year and haven't been able to dedicate as much time to the Key System as I would have liked. Heading up the Gorre & Daphetid project with the Beer Line team has taken up a huge chunk of my RL time and I just haven't had the time necessary to work on this layout. Adding to that is the fact that the next update, the F line, is probably the most complex line on the entire system in terms of scenery.

Also notable is the fact that I've gotten a new PC since the last update, so I would need to pull the mod.kea file off of my old PC in order to actually update the layout. So yes there will be more updates, but probably not until next year at the earliest.

Will there be more updates?

If you're talking about the smaller streetcars that's because they're not included. The PCCs are a private release by a friend of mine, and the Key System cars are made by me but I haven't released them yet. All the larger interurbans should come packaged with the map though, so let me know if they're not loading and I can try and figure out what's wrong.

Wait, there are none of the trams shown on the map.

Oh ok. Thanks!

The one in the layout? It's just the one from the base game.

what mod is that ATSF F7?

I'll probably go back through and add signals at some point, but not full AI compatibility. If I did it would mean trains from every line wouldn't be kept to the lines they're supposed to be on, which would personally annoy me. But the AI on the bridge section will remain, as it's a decent representation of the real life ATC system on the bridge.

Could you give the full route ai?
