New Era Universe

The New Era Universe is an American simulator franchise and shared fictional universe that is centered on various cities and railroad systems in the United States, based on the original concept for New Era City, New York, spanning across multiple simulators. The shared universe, was established by crossing over common plot elements from the original New Era City map for OMSI 2.

The first simulator map in the series was New Era Transit: 0.6, based on New York City's transit system, built on the OMSI 2 platform, which debuted in October 2016, and then later overhauled and updated and renamed New Era Transit: 7 in August 2018. The universe was expanded with the series New Era Transit: The Bronx in September 2018, which is based mostly on the Bronx region of New York City. The universe expanded further in October 2018 with the series New Era: Eastchester County, based on the Westchester County Region of New York State. This was the first map to not feature NET as the operator for the borough, and instead has NE, for New Era State. New Era Transit: The Long Island Railroad was announced in October 2018, and is the first map in the series to not utilize OMSI 2, and instead uses Train Simulator 2019 as it's platform, and is based on the Sabri Line found in the original New Era Transit: 7. It is also the second map in the series to span across multiple boroughs. Four other maps are set to be announced in late 2018, with a planned release date for sometime in early 2019. One of these maps are to be set in a different state, and speculation has it that it will be set in New Jersey.

It is suspected that with the release of the LOTUS Simulator in 2019, all maps with the exception of New Era Transit: The Long Island Railroad and New Era Transit: 0.6 would be merged into one gigantic new map called New Era Transit: A New Era. "2016–present"*-Is not featured in OMSI 2
