This is the first of your maps that I have tried, and it is excellent. It has given me some ideas on building my own timetable map.

Hey! Just wanted to say I've thoroughly enjoyed all of your simulations. I have found myself looking almost daily for your uploads as they are the best I've come across. Can't wait to see what your next maps look like, especially around the Boston area

I'm glad you liked the simulation. Was fairly simple to build but the testing took more time than I thought it would!

It is correct that the only true platform at Churchman's Crossing is on track 1, but it's a low level platform which allows for boards across tracks 1 and 2 (in fact, the entire route from Claymont to Philadelphia has boards across tracks 1 and 4, so Septa can use tracks 2 or 3 if 1 or 4 are out of service). This allows Septa to stop there on either track 2 or 3 if need be (they need to receive confirmation from the dispatcher to ensure they can load/unload passengers safely). When reverse engineering the schedule, I noticed that 1203 would not arrive at Churchman's on time if it had to wait for the northbound 2718 to get out of the way. The only way to maintain schedule is to run 1203 south on track 2. I hope you don't find this long winded and gives you a satisfactory explanation!

Hey Roman - just downloaded this and thoroughly enjoying it. I did notice an issue with one Septa train (1203) to Newark. You have him scheduled for Tk 2 at Churchman's Crossing then going over to Tk 1 for Newark. Track plan won't allow for that as well as there is no platform on Tk 2 at Churchman's. Probably just an ooops and meant to have him hit Churchman's on Tk 1 but I though I'd let you know...
