Trainz Plus DLC - Harvard Subdivision: Commuter Edition adds a commuter-focused section of the Harvard Subdivision, running from Chicago, Illinois, to Harvard, Illinois. It includes six Metra passenger-service sessions set in varied weather and conditions.

The Harvard Subdivision

The line was previously owned and operated by the Chicago and Northwestern railroad, before its 1995 merger with the railroad now known as Union Pacific. The full route runs about 102 miles from Chicago to Evansville, Wisconsin, with approximately 85 miles used by both freight and Metra commuter trains. This edition covers only the commuter service route from Chicago to Harvard, not the full line to Evansville.

For Metra, the route begins at Ogilvie Transportation Center in downtown Chicago. It has four tracks to CY tower, just south of Clybourn station, where it meets the Kenosha Subdivision. Two tracks continue north toward Kenosha, Wisconsin, while the Harvard Subdivision becomes a triple track until just southeast of Barrington station. From Barrington to Harvard it is double track; at Harvard it becomes single track and continues toward Evansville. At Crystal Lake, it meets the McHenry Subdivision, which carries some freight and weekday commuter service. Trains on Union Pacific’s tracks run left-handed.

Commuter sessions

The six passenger-service sessions are:

• Train 620: Morning Express.
• Train 709: Snow Storm.
• Train 634: Winter Morning.
• Train 633: Evening Express.
• Train 714: Stormy Weather.
