- Updates to some signals and fencing.
- This route has now been made final, meaning that you can make your own scenarios for it.

A couple of minor track updates between Oceanside and San Clemente.



Quick Drive list in the route suddenly small / missing?

Try this....

Ensure that your Train Sim is NOT running.
Go to Contents in your Railworks folder.
Delete the SDBCache.bin
Delete the SDBCache.bin.MD5
Launch Train Sim and all the quick drives should come back.

- Scenery updates.

- Route name changed.
- Scenery updates.

- A few missing scenery objects added along the route.
- Signalling updates.
- Minor signalling issue corrected in San Diego.
- All of the old Quick Drives have been deleted.
- New batch of Quick Drives added for Coaster / Metrolink. (Amtrak and freight QD still to do).

There should now be 30+ start points in your quick drive list.

(There should no longer be any QD pathing issues BUT if you receive any such errors in QD please message me your QD start/end points so I can have a look at them).

- Added the accidentally deleted signals at Laguna Niguel station.



Special Extras - Added from the Infrastructure Development Plans for the LOSSAN Rail Corridor.

- Remodelled tracks from Solana Beach to CP Del Mar.

The track/signal and new stations are all planned to be input on the line from 2026 onwards but have been added now in the sim.

1. Lots of changes due to Caltrain / Gilroy being removed from Steam - this has affected a lot of the scenery in the route and I've had to replace a few things including buildings and loft items (mainly bridges).

2. The route will now start in San Diego and end in Glendale, a few miles north of L.A.

3. Whistle / horn blowing locations will no longer show on the in game HUD - these were Caltrain specific track items and with that route removed from Steam, these items could not stay in the Surfliner route - sorry. The signage at the track side still exists.


- Caltrain and Gilroy dependencies removed.
- Caltrain / Gilroy objects & signals/etc removed and replaced.
- Platform 3 at Oceanside is now working correctly in scenarios (train doors now open).
- Additional scenery added.
- Signalling at San Diego Santa Fe station updated.
- All remaining mile posts added to the route.
- Changes to select roads and bridges.
- Track gradient smoothing in some areas.


(I took a ride on the Pacific Surfliner route between San Diego and Los Angeles in November 2024 to have a look around and as a result some of the upgrades that have been recently completed are now added to the sim).

Tasks carried out in the Orange area:

- Tracks rebuilt and realigned.
- Station platforms rebuilt.
- Extensive scenery updates.
- Grade crossing updates.

Also:

- Passengers no longer sink into the platforms at Santa Ana station.

Free Roam Scenario update.

It is required that you now have the Stevens Pass route installed or this version of the "Pacific Surfliner II" route will not load properly.

NOTE: Unfortunately, if you have designed any scenarios for this route, they may no longer run properly, due to the extensive changes to tracks on this new version of the route. I would advise you to go into the scenario editor and update them one by one.


This release features the following additions....

A whole new look for the tracks has arrived on the route, giving the railroad a fresh, modern feel.
