📋 About This Mod
NOTE TO MODERATORS AND INTERESTED PARTIES
I have full permission from Rez to repost DC Subway here at the Nexus. Thank you Rez for allowing the community easier access to your much missed mod. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This mod adds new working subway trains as a means of traveling through the metro tunnels. The subways are animated so when you board a train at a station, you can walk around or have a seat and watch the world go by as you travel through the tunnels. Get off at the next station and wander around or ride the train on to the end of the line.
The subways are located inside new metro stations with entrances right beside or inside the vanilla subway entrances.
NEW: Want people to harass and trade with in your subways? Try Metros Alive.

Later the Subway system we know and use today was built and opened to the public- the one destroyed in Fallout 3 due to the war..
Over the years after the war the Old Orig Subway system that had been sealed in time was discovered and secretly unsealed. After years of partially repairing the Old Subway systems and getting some of them working, they have now been opened for safer travel in the D. C. area due to the harsh environment above ground.
Game play:
Subway entrances are near orig ones.. or right inside Old station. You will see them. Metro Central is prob the easiest to start with.
The subway cars act pretty much like a normal subway. you enter the subway train and it will start automatically to its schedule. When arriving at the next stop, you can ether get off the subway train or stay on and ride thru to the next stop.. again will restart automatically..
The subway cars you can walk around on while moving and also is completely follower friendly.. you can even sandbox them on a subway train and pick them up later at a different station..
