IMPROVED TRAINS V 3.10.3 DEMO

Changes in 3.10 for ATS (v1.45x):
file structure changed (no old addons are compatible anymore)
Added random skins and axle configurations to auto trailers transported by trains
added locomotive emd-sd60 in Norfolk Southern livery
added locomotive emd-sd60 in Union Pacigic livery
added locomotive emd-sd70ACe in Norfolk Southern livery
added locomotive emd-sd70ACe in Union Pacific livery
the mod is backwards compatible with the game 1.44

Changes in 3.8 for ATS (v1.41x):
Updated for game version 1.41
Added new livery for ES44 locomotives, BNSF and CEFX companies and updated livery for ATMRAK Dash8, Thanks @cometcrush for the textures specially made for this mod!
Added Union Pacific Switcher shunting diesel.(new SCS vanilla model finded in a game archives)
many models have been reworked in Blender 3D editor using updated shader presets in Blender tools.
the maximum speed limit for freight trains was increased to 85 km / h, the braking force was slightly increased.
the recently introduced realistically mixed trains were cut out, they are no longer readable by the game.
elimination of the conflict with the new coal wagon added by SCS (the carriage errors has been fixed)
added a new train parts cargo to the wagon platform
added car models: box, dump and tank ported from ETS2 for a greater variety of rolling stock (car textures will be American but differ in size)
return of the simultaneous appearance of two trains on multi-track railways
locomotive with tail number 1943 from the Cheyenne Wyoming Railway Museum, added to some of Union Pacific’s scheduled trains.
The sound bank has been rewritten, now the tonality of the sounds of the head locomotives (only the first locomotive) depends more on the position of their accelerator handle and not on the current speed.
the collisions of the railcar models were reworked to avoid unnecessary calculations of the interaction of collisions with each other during the movement of invisible and not externally manifested mutual collisions that loaded the computing system with parasitic calculations.
Fix for missing Trains and Trams in Denver Colorado.
fixed all possible compatibility issues with maps of Mexico and ProMods Canada.
the ratio of the number of regular trains in comparison with excursion and classic trains has been doubled (steam locomotives will become even rarer).
railway traffic to Wyoming and Texas for the future is registered. (Wyoming has a lot of steam locomotives, and coal cars; Texas has a lot of oil tanks).
The train spawn fix no longer works in 1.41 so trains can spawn (but not disappearing) next to the player again.(this problem has no solution at this time)
!!no add-ons from older versions are compatible!!

Changes in 3.8 beta2 for ATS (v1.41x):
