How do I use the Line Progress View?

Getting to the Line Progress View
Another function available in the Train Mile Marker Map is a view showing the progress of a train on its current line. To see this line progress view, click on a train icon on the map and select "Line Progress" from the information box as shown to the right. This will open up the street view shown below.

Using the Line Progress View
The line progress view shows the train you selected from the main map and all of the other trains currently running on the same line variation (shown as the title of the window), with the direction of travel shown by the arrow at the end of the roadway. The stations for the line are displayed as red signs on the roadway. When you move your mouse over a sign, the station name will be displayed above the sign. When a line has trains going to different destinations, a list will appear showing these other line variations and allow you to choose to view one of them.

The Line Progress View allows you to set an alarm to let you know when a train arrives at a specified mile marker. To set an arrival alarm for a particular station, you can either drag the bell from its waiting to the roadway or click on the roadway. When a train reaches that mile marker, a pop-up alert is issued to inform you that the train has arrived. If you are going to use the alarm function to let you know when to go catch a train, make sure you allow enough time for your travel to the train station. For example, if it takes you ten minutes to reach your train station, select a station on the line which is at least ten minutes ahead of your mile marker. This will allow you time to arrive at the train station before the train arrives. If you change your mind about where to place the alarm, you can either drag the bell to the new mile marker or click at the new mile marker on the roadway. To turn off the alarm, you can either drag the bell back to the waiting area or just click on the bell or the waiting area.

When an alarm is triggered, it will appear like the screen below and will generate a "beep". Make sure your speakers are on so you can hear the beep.
