Realistic Train Lengths

This mod aims to bring a bit more immersion/realism to the game via making the trains realistic lengths according to each locomotive/railroad. this is NOT just a "Longer Trains Mod," not every train in the US is miles long, and as such you will see shorter trains too. Changes are as follows:

AC44 - Max. 60 cars, min. around 30
SD40-2 - Max. of around 30, Min. 1 car
P42 - Max 11, Min. 4 cars
MP36PH - 3 cars for NM, 4 for UT railrunner.
LOD updates for all Light rail, passenger/freightcars, and all locomotives.

Freight train types are as follows:

SD40-2:
5 short mixed freights
2 long mixed freights
2 gravel trains
2 different wood trains
2 different lumber trains
1 Short autorack
1 Gondola train
1 Gas local train

AC44:
2 long mixed freights
1 extra long mixed freight
1 Coal train
1 Grain Train
1 Tank Train
1 gravel train
1 autorack train

This mod also includes multiple new container & railcar liveries. Changes are as followed:

Gravel hopper: Red, Blue, Yellow, Green
Grain hopper: Red, Green
Boxcar: Blue, Green
Tank car: White
Wellcar: Red

Container Liveries include:

Ontario Alaskan Lines (Replaces American Lines)
AMM (Replaces bushnell)
INTRAX (Replaces Namiq)
Cargo National (Replaces Oakland Port)
Posted (Now orange/black instead of white)
Krapea (from GTA 5, Replaces Railexport)
Subayai Global (Friends' VTC, replaces Sell Goods)
PDX freight (Replaces sunshine crops)
Chemso, Charged and Walbert remain unchanged.

One thing to note. As much as real life Freight trains pulled by AC44s typically end up being 100 cars, I have limited them to 50 cars as stated. This is for 2 reasons;
1. The game is scaled down heavily and therefore 100 car-long trains look out of place.
2. the game starts to spawn trains out of thin air when above 50 cars, thus the limit is in-place to prevent this.

WARNING: Trains in the City of Olympia and The boeing Plant at everett will block crossings. I dont know why this mod affects the boeing trains as they are not in the normal config file. A work around is forcing the game to reload traffic. Open up the dev console, type "G_traffic 0" and then "G_Traffic 1" after traffic despawns. Its not Ideal I know, but there is nothing I can do to fix this. So for now I'd stay out of Olympia and Everett's boeing plant.

This mod is designed to work with drive safelys' sound fixes mod. While it is not required, trains may be silent if you do not have it installed. therefore it is a required item.
--THIS MOD MUST BE PLACED ABOVE SOUND FIXES IN LOAD ORDER--
