It's not made very clear in most places, but RTD is running a holiday/SUNDAY schedule today. Whatever the trip planner or Google Maps says, is WRONG. Google Maps still thinks its a normal weekday schedule. Check the schedules for your routes and see what they do on SUNDAY: that's what they're doing today.

I've had lots of my passengers get tripped up about this, because it's easy to miss. Again, Google Maps is currently incorrect, and is showing weekday schedules. We are on SUNDAY schedules.

Edit: apparently the rtd trip planner is correct now bit Google Maps still isnt.

It's not made apparent in most places, but RTD is operating on a holiday schedule today. You can treat the schedules like it's a SUNDAY. The trip planner does not reflect this. Google Maps does not reflect this. Google map still thinks its a normal weekday!

I've had many of my passengers today get thrown off by this. Check the schedules for the routes you need today and see what their SUNDAY schedule is. That's what they're doing today.isn't.

Edit: some folks are saying some Maps and transit planner applications are working now. If so, great. But most of my passengers are still showing it incorrect, so it may vary case by case. I can't verify it myself at this time, I can only relay what I have heard from my passengers.

Still, it's a Sunday schedule. Plan accordingly.

PC1 restricted coasters to just 1 station, so you couldn't have a separate station for loading and unloading. I haven't kept a super close eye on PC2, have they added this ability? Either to have separate loading and unloading platforms, or to build a mobius coaster?

Hello everyone. I'm doing a little personal project, and was wondering if anyone knows of examples of railroads that went about modifying or changing their rolling stock instead of just replacing it. The one example I know of is Dallas, Texas, where Dallas Area Rapid Transit modified their LRVs by adding an entire new section in the center to allow for level boarding, instead of just buying new trains. It's a significant change, and definitely fits this criteria. But aside from wild shenanigans taken on by rail barons in like, the 1880s, is there any notable examples of trains being substantially changed or retrofitted to the everchanging needs of the railroad? Preferably, an example that took place after the invention of color television?

In so many cases, it just seems that railroads just deal with whatever headache equipment may bring, until they have to retire it, and get new stock that fixes the problem. This makes sense of course, but sometimes there's niche instances where the alternative is better. Dallas is the only place I know of that made a drastic change to their equipment instead of just replacing it outright.
