====================Basic Info====================
This is the MTA Long Island Railroad (LIRR) Hempstead Branch Beta by mrsam127 and Fan Railer. This route is still a work in progress, and
there will be future updates available. This route runs between Hempstead, Jamaica, Atlantic Terminal, Penn Station, and the West Side Yard and includes several scenarios
that take place during different times of day, etc.

====================Installation====================
In order to install this download, extract the contents of the "Railway" Folder to your OpenBVE directory.

====================Dependencies====================
TJay's NYCT Object pack from BVEStation

====================Features====================
This download includes 8 scenarios:
Hempstead-Jamaica
Jamaica-Atlantic Terminal
Jamaica-Penn Station
Penn Station- West Side Yard
Daytime and nighttime scenarios for each one listed above.

====================Operation====================
Stopping points are formatted for a six car train. You may use trains of different lenghts and stop at different signs,
but the game will see something such as that as an over/underrun.

====================Quality Disclaimer====================
This project is not one of my higher priorities. I am releasing this now as opposed to later in the
summer because I have a lot to do the next few weeks, and I wanted to get something out there. A lot of hard work was spent to code hundreds to thousands lines in each file and
make everyone's simulation experience better. If you do not like this route, please do not complain,
as you are wasting both of our time; just play something else if it matters so much. Otherwise, please
enjoy =). Announcements are only semi-functional. Ignore mistakes, correct them yourself, or don't play.
