Version 3.9.2 for American Truck Simulator (v1.44):

The mod adds Improved Trains with Realistic Sounds to ATS. The idea is based on a mod by PIVA and sounds from Cipinho, Drive Safely, and TruckerKid. And, of course, exclusive mod content from POWE®FULL™.

- Added classic diesel and steam locomotives, cars, and cabooses for excursion trains;
- Skins with real company names and unique serial numbers (not for all) were added to diesel locomotives and cars;
- All freight trains are operated by paired locomotives from 2 to 5 head units;
and several additional pushers at the end of the train;
- Length changed: passenger trains 3-15 cars (up to 40 for Autotrain), freight trains 15-60 cars;
length depends on the number of units and type of locomotives;
- Added realistic train sounds in the new FMOD Soundbank format;
- Reverse sections of locomotives were added to all passenger trains.

Addons and supplements. Install only if addon versions match the mod and game versions!

Quiet Train Sounds addon with reduced train sound volume for those who find the train sounds too loud and uncomfortable and hurt their ears: (made for 3.8 - 1.41 but works in recent versions as well)

Long Trains extends freight trains up to 100 - 150 cars. Only for powerful computers, game freezes possible. (compatible from 3.9.1)

Short Trains makes freight trains shorter than in the main mod (20-30 cars) for weak computers. (compatible from 3.9.1)

Compatibility with Real Traffic Density by Cip (compatibility 3.9 - 3.9.2 if matching Cip mod version)

Addon replacing default train containers with containers from Arnook pack 4.0 Requires Arnook's container pack 4.0 or newer with Train addon by Krys Emlyn (compatibility 3.9 - 3.9.2)

All addons should be placed above the main mod, compatibility addons above others and above mods they ensure compatibility with. The addon for increasing train length is not recommended to be used together with mods for increased traffic density, as there will be lags even on powerful computers. With increased traffic density mods (or if you know what the g_traffic command is), it is better to use the Short Trains addon.

Addons for ProMods Canada, update patches, and spawn/despawn corrections are no longer needed and will not be updated or supported.

Installation:
Place the downloaded file with the .scs extension into the folder at Documents/American Truck Simulator/mod
replacing the previous version and its addons.
Activate in the game in the mod manager of your game profile, in the vertical list on the right; the mod must have higher priority than sounds, real company skin packs, and maps.
The mod must be placed above any third-party mods that in any way affect trains.
The mod is incompatible with any third-party specialized train mods.
No DLC is required for the mod to work correctly, but regional trains will appear only in their states (Washington, Idaho, Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico) as well as optionally on Canada and Mexico maps (if Canada and Mexico maps are absent, their trains may appear in US border areas).
The mod does not support game versions older than (1.44).
FOR OLDER GAME VERSIONS USE THE PREVIOUS VERSIONS TAB

Check before activation:
It is recommended to add this line to the game launch options in Steam (or, if you have a non-Steam version, to the desktop shortcut in the "Target" field after the quotes with a space):

-mm_max_tmp_buffers_size 1000

In-game:
For this mod, it is not recommended to increase the "g_traffic" setting above 1.0, or game performance may decrease and FPS drops may occur.
