Street tracks for interurban trains

Have any of our great modders created street tracks for the interurban trains? In Seattle, the interurban ran on city streets from the now bus station all the way downtown and northward. It ended in Everett, Wa, using city streets after reaching Everett, to get to the main terminal.

Hi, there are a couple ways you can do something close to this: either run train-looking vehicles on tram tracks, or put actual rail tracks on top of the streets.

For the first one, just look for tram vehicles in the workshop that look like the light rail trains that you want. You can also supplement it with mods that add more variety of "street" types to run tram tracks on dedicated routes or offroad. Keeping cars off the tram tracks seems to be the biggest challenge. The first mod below has some options to help with that:

For the second method, use mods like Build With Collision to put actual rail tracks on top of roads, and then use regular rail vehicles on them. There are many mods in the workshop for light rail vehicles, and also different track mods to use different track gauge widths. The drawback is the visual of them crashing thru cars, pedestrians, etc, on the streets

Search the workshop for light rail.
