--Graham-White E-Bell with distinct "pop" when bell is turned on
-Bonus improved track joint sounds from files lying in NJCL assets
-Bonus Quick Drive consists for ALP-46/A and ALP-45DP/NJCL pack. This is to be expanded and reworked at a later time
-Corrects number series of unbranded blank "MARC" Multilevels to MARC numbers

==============================================================================================
To install:
1) Extract this package to a temporary location, such as your desktop.

2) Run "RW_AssetSetup.exe" or place the folder "CentralJerseyRailfan to your "Assets" folder. For most users this will read as "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\RailWorks\Assets".

3) This pack automatically applies to all Bombardier MultiLevel coaches (NJT in NJCL/ALP46 packs; MARC repaint in ALP46 pack; Unbranded in Washington-Baltimore pack) currently set up for use with Fan Railer's NJT mod packs. PLEASE back up your existing files in case you don't want to lose them AND make sure you have a full install of Fan Railer's NJCL and ALP-46 mod packs.

4) Shortcuts have been provided in the DLC folders to allow easy swapping between horns. By default, the ML II horn applies to the ALP-46 and Washington-Baltimore versions and the MLI horn applies to the NJCL version. Aliasing files for those who want to use the horns from TheAudioShack's payware Multilevel sound pack are also included.
