Real Train Lengths - **VANILLA STYLE**

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 mod differs from the original however, by only spawning mixed freight trains like the vanilla game. This does **NOT** include any of the Unit or Local trains from the OG mod. Changes are as follows:

AC44 - Max. 50 cars, min. around 20
SD40-2 - Max. of around 30, Min. 4 cars
P42 - Max 11, Min. 4 cars
MP36PH - 3 cars for NM, 4 for UT railrunner.

Freight train types are as follows:

SD40-2:
5 short mixed freights
2 long mixed freights

AC44:
2 long mixed freights
1 extra long mixed freight

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 scenery and vehicles by changing something in the settings. 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 be compatible with Sound Fixes. As such, I recommend having sound fixes installed. This mod does not include sounds, however the files are written to use the sounds from Sound Fixes. The mod should work fine standalone though.
--THIS MOD MUST BE PLACED ABOVE SOUND FIXES IN LOAD ORDER--
