About this Project:
Bordertown is a series set on the American and Mexican border. Though I pull lots of inspiration from El Paso and Juarez, this series is based on my own inspiration and aims to encompass every thing that fascinates me about this area.

Biggest advice i can give is lights... more lights and more lights
and when you think you have enough, youre half way there
even on the darkest night, a border crossing is so lit up it looks like daytime in the area.
not so much at the USA/Canada side, but USA/MEX is lit up like the sun.
I think it's very cool that you're using El Paso/Juarez as the inspiration for a fictional border.
As a former resident, I can think of a few things you may be interested in implementing:
El Paso is home to Ft. Bliss, a military base on the eastern edge of the city.
The "Star on the Mountain" is a giant, illuminated star that sits on the southern slope of the Franklin Mountains. There is also a cable car that takes passengers up to a scenic mountain view.
As for the border, things may have changed since I was last in El Paso, but here's my recollection: The traffic volume is much higher flowing into the US, and because security checks at the US border are more extensive, wait times are often three hours or more.
There are lots of street vendors along this stretch of road, trying to sell food and knick-knacks to the waiting drivers.
For several years, my dad commuted to Mexico every day for his job. He would use the long waits to brush up on his Spanish cassette tapes, while munching on chili corn (bought from a street vendor, of course).
Thanks for the info mate! I’ll need it. Love chilli corn 🌽
I always thought a border themed mod would be so amazing in this game.
Special border patrol stations, fences, small detailed items and of course the ability to split your town into two towns/cities and set them as two seperate countries (like two maps in one)... with different policies and laws and of course different assets.
"Why would anyone in their right mind ever want to recreate this monstrosity" -- Every border booth worker ever.
That said... Amazing work.
Add lots of bright white lights to the border crossings. They're always soooo bright.
What this guy said. Border crossings are so surreal at night, they almost look like military bases, specially some of the US/Canada borders that I've seen, and specially the Eurotunnel loading area. I mean, UK/France border is a one off but still a border nonetheless.
@Ethan Daniels the fuck?
Careful not to get yourself cut on that edge.
@Ethan Daniels That's why it's an opinion...
Ramash440 Wow where have I seen that comment before
Nexus is US/Canada. Sentri is the program which allows individuals to get into the US from Mexico faster.
Calvin Chen sentri, not safari.
Gerardo Salas ?
4:58 "I'm not an expert on borders" - Well, you are australian, I don't know why you are not an expert on this :D
I just got back from Basic Training for the Coast Guard and to see that you’re doing a series based on El Paso is amazing because that’s where I grew up and live so if you need any help with this, I’ll be happy to help!
Do you have good Tacos and Tequila?
Gentleman Von Tweed hell yeah we do.
This is so fascinating to watch! I'm so glad you have the patience to work on something so extensive and upload it for us to enjoy freely. (:
That railway spur is a headshunt - it's there to allow locomotives to manoeuvre from one end of a train of freight cars to the other (run around). It's probably extra long in this case to allow the loco to pull some extra cars with it, so it can shunt them from one line to another to assemble trains for dispatch, or to pull a bunch of cars off the end of a train to get at one in the middle.
Exactly. Trains probably pull in and that spur allows head-end power to pull clear of the yard ladder to then back down to the engine facility. It also gives plenty of room for multiple units to pull completely clear of the road, since there is a time limit they can block it, before backing into the clear.
Also, a switcher engine does have a few car lengths to work with if they wanted to use that tail track as a switch lead.
I can't tell you much about the Mexican border because I've only been within ~100 km away from it, but as a Canadian living in the USA I can tell you a lot about the US/Canada border crossings. The ones I have gone through are the RT-133/I-89 crossing in St. Armand QC/Highgate VT, the A-15/I-87 crossing in Blackpool QC/Champlain NY and the HW-137/I-81 crossing through the 1000 Islands (at the end of the St. Lawrence river at Lake Ontario). The one I'll tell you about is the RT-133/I-89 crossing because I use that one most often. When entering Canada (heading north), the checkpoint is right past the border. There are 3 car lanes, 2 NEXUS lanes (NEXUS is a US/Canada border thing that allows frequent travellers easier access) and a pull off lane for trucks and buses. Past the actual checkpoint there is a garage for Canadian Border police vehicles with a parking lot. When leaving Canada (heading south) there is a little pull off for parking at a Duty Free store, a store with no taxes because its on the border. It's pretty small and resembles a large rest stop for travellers. After that you cross the US border, there is a checkpoint that mirrors the Canadian checkpoint, and attached to the checkpoint there is an inspection garage and passport control. Right after that there is a pull off and parking for truck and bus inspections, and off to the side a US F.D.A (food and drugs administration) building. Hope that helps!

Great info thanks dude!
Didn't know that Trump was a Canadian ;)
Shouldn't you be building a wall right now !
It's actually called Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle for the border crossing on the Canadian side between A-15/I-87.
@@mr.ducarbre9065 ah yeah, my memory of that place is pretty much gone
Oh my god I never knew you could do this kind of stuff with Cities Skylines! Your channel is seriously inspiring me to play it again, bravo dude, this is amazing.
And, at exactly 11:22, you can see the last prop my computer would let me place before it shuts down and probably bursts into flames.
Only a better core can save you
a yellow road line?
Just found this series. What a cool idea for a city! My grandmother lived minutes from that boarder crossing in El Paso (in the US side)! So cool to see it recreated in the game! 😁
To have different police in each side of the city have you got the mod that allows you to choose what traffic comes along if so put the border crossing roads as roads that can't have emergency vehicles which then would spilt them in half
Great job! Maybe make a border shopping mall just like in San Diego, also add big flags at the crossings. That will be a cool touch😉
This is pretty awesome I’m from El paso and travel frequently to Mexico and this looks great...
I'm proud of the way you handled a sensitive topic. Also, the city and map looks great and some serious realism is present.
Yea, the border crossings definitely need much more traffic in order to be realistic. It literally takes hours to cross into the US sometimes xD
Thank you Kanye, Very Cool!
What a brilliant job for a citizen of an island country with no borders!!!🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Yea, as a Brit, I can empathise with my colonial counterparts.
Yes same🇬🇧🇬🇧
ah, but the chunnel
@@rhysjohnston8803 don't you have the border with us ? (Ireland)
Austrailia is fake
So good! Loved that little area where the steps go down into the carpark.
in my experiences, this is actually a pretty accurate border crossing (though i've only driven between the u.s. and canada)
A border in between two European countries is not a border physically it is just a line on a map nothing physically there and anybody can cross it that’s why Europe is the best continent
I ran into this video by random luck! I love city:skylines and this series is the best! I was born and raised in El Paso and you hit a lot of key points! Thank you for building something so cool
Las palmas was founded in 1833 as a mexican City, but it was conquered by the US in the battle of las palmas in 1856,where almost 200 soldiers died.
Las palmas was an important City at The civil War, but it was reastablished as American City at The end of it.
In 1916 general Pershing and his army had to cross las palmas in the operation against the mexican revolution.
Once in 1962 , president Kennedy did a conference in The city.
And today ,the city represents the diplomatic relationships between mexico and the USA.
Great story
@@mathewbuckley5619 thanks.
@Viride Vita yes ...
But its the name of the city in bordertown.
Look at first episode
That's a lot of backstory for a Cities Skylines City... I'M LOVING IT! :D
@@edim108 thanks buddy
I've been through this very border crossing you're emulating just in the past year. You're doing a really accurate job. It was really, really busy. Observation: Saguaro Cactus are only found in Arizona.
Literally love this build a lot nice job dude!
Use the Service Vehicle Selector mod (if it still works) to select service vehicles per building.
This mod wont help him in his case. He needs one of the mods related to disctricts which prevent service vehicles entering different districts. But these mods are not working as far as I know. It causes troubles like no emergency/service vehicles spawning at all. If the mod would work he can do it easily. He will create district Border. District Juarez and District Las Palmas. He builds one of the police stations inside every disctrict and set it to "patrol" only in this district.
Just select the vehicles to be deployed from each police station and then ban service vehicles on border crossing roads.
That’s a great idea!
two dollars twenty You can use a mod called geli districts to restrict services to certain parts of the map
Does this mod work for you? I had troubles with it causing not spawning for example garbage trucks or hearses.
finally got around to checking out bordertown, 2$s20 always awesome! a San Diegan here and also lived in El Paso. Back then neither crossing has autobahn signs or European speed limits signs on the US side and no vehicle barriers. However, awesome and creative as ever. I will be surprised if you even get this. thanks.
I love the detail at the border. Great job
I like the use of the sidewalk for the pedestrian bridge it adds so much realism!
like always the final cinematic is amazing, keep going bro
This is literally Art. I swear. Keep up the fantastic work!
Oh! How unique! I've not seen anyone construct a border crossing before in... Well, any simulation game. Good job! Very immersive.
I actually work at the border in Texas and just wanna say that the border crossing area you built is pretty spot on! The nexus lane was a great addition although we call it the SENTRI lane on the southern border. But very great job, looks just like my work area lol.
Wow what a coincidence! Thanks for the info!
That end spur of track at the end of the yard is locomotive storage, and a "trap track", so when a train pulls in, it can pull up there and come out backwards on a other track
Ilive in Tucson and one thing I love about this is, the extremely basic road layout. Yup that is exactly how it is done in Tucson, Major 3 but usually 3 lane roads Spaced out a mile from each other with commercial buildings lining the streets and neighborhoods filling out the centers. and everything is on a grid. The only exceptions are when arroros run through everything.
dude thats insane! you're super talented! thats like art, unbelievable, really well done!
Nice to see some extensive detail work, now that I'm finished thru all of Keralis' Cit Sky videos.
I didn't know stuff like that was possible in Cities Skylines. I think it looks great!
As someone who lives roughly 200 miles from the US Mexico, I cannot tell you anything about it. But this looks fantastic and amazing. I don't know how yall do it, I always try to put details in my maps like this but I usually get mod errors and asset errors as well one day.....
Throwing out an idea... I live in metro Detroit. We have 2 border crossing. 1 bridge, 1 tunnel. The tunnel does not accept trucks. Also, borders come with duty-free shops. Each side allows a store right at the end of the plaza that is entirely tax free. The US side does not allow use of the full road after the booths. They have a concrete barrier maze like a check point you would expect in a war zone.
What are even borders? *laughs in EU
*LAUGHS in EU is Dying*
*Laughs in your memes are dead*
the EU is dead soon.
not yet tho
I love Schengen. Open borders within EU members is one of the best things that have EVER happened to Europe, and a major reason to join, *no debate about it.*
External access is debatable, though.
The detail in this is incredible. Kudos
i'm loving this one. i live in phoenix so it's cool to see you interpret my neck of the woods into the game
also thanks for banning political comments. i follow plenty of channels for that and watch video games to escape it
Being someone from El Paso you got it pretty spot on
I don’t know if you get a chance to read this, but thanks for making this video. You have a great voice and your video is entertaining. I enjoyed watching it. :)
You can use a mod called geli districts to restrict services to certain parts of the map.
That intro is literally perfect. That GUITAR TONE
your videos take my depression away. Keep it up!
Hi! The service is called NEXUS if you're expedited between the United States & Canada (see here: www.cbp.gov/travel/trusted-traveler-programs/nexus). If you're enrolled in NEXUS, you can also use the SENTRI (why so many acronyms, IDK) lanes for fast travel between the United States and Mexico, but it is a different program. I think the last time I went to Mexico we used SENTRI, which cut the wait from 4 hours down to one-and-a-half. But we came in through SD/TJ, which is the busiest boarder crossing in the world (San Ysidro).
There's also Global Entry which gets you faster screening through arrivals at airports and seaports, and some countries enroll you in their benefits as well after paying a fee. For instance, if I pay 50 pounds, I can get use of the UK/EU national lanes when entering the UK through Heathrow.
But like DAMN! So much background research to make a Cities Skylines video.
Just came here and i loved the first second of it, Keep up the good job 2.20 :)
When u get banned from an holy minecraft server I love your name
Minedude33 gaming lol thanks
honestly, when I saw the cinematics I was like oh my god did google update google maps?
This was super cool. Thanks for sharing.
I suggest instead of the concrete bollards (7:40) you use cones (as they often go all the way through like the ones you put in @ 8:40), that way the border authority can move them around to better direct traffic if they need to
In Canada their is a section which runs off the border crossing where they do random inceptions
I'm from El Paso, this looks exactly like it, good job
I really like this design! Keep up the good work!
That city looks amazing 👍
I think its funny. I used to live in El Paso and what youre doinglooks pretty legit hahah
How have I only just seen this? This is fantastic! New subscriber 😍😍
Dude, you're literally building the scenery of my childhood
You can use traffic manager to disable service vehicles using the roads that cross the border
I used to live in El Paso. I'm excited to see what you do with Fort Bliss.
Please add the RV from breaking bad!🙏
What
@@flimsypopcorn638 the RV from breaking bad
this is so cool man! i'm actually from El Paso and its almost a perfect replica man!
It was called Nexus for the US/Canada border and it is the ONLY way to travel, priority in all security lines and borders, SO much easier! Great work on the map, looks amazing! (Yes I know, 3 years late)
Your videos inspire me to build more in cities skylines, it's crazy
I love how the border turned out and it really looks like a border would look in real life
Grammar sucks
This is a really cool idea.
It looks really good and realistic.
This is absolutely beautiful.
in my experience from crossing the border into Tamaulipas Mexico their is always people trying to sell you stuff like t shirts, Mexican candy or pinatas on the bridge . So maybe if you want you could place props for shops or maybe place routes for citizens to go in between the lanes of the cars as they cross the border.
I used to live in Las Cruces, a city you need to go through a boarder patrol checkpoint to get out of... lol
first time I've came across your channel, am already impressed
This would look great with the new toll roads update. Love your builds.
I cross the border between Laredo, Texas and Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas about 10 times a year and it is so small compared to this one. There’s two crossings within the city but one bridge about 15 min. west of the city for commercial vehicles. They separate them to ease the traffic at the border within the city. There’s also an abundant amount of armed marines on either side because Nuevo Laredo is a dangerous city.
Love the video and love that it is inspired by my city!! The 915!
I was thinking how uncanny this looked to my city until you said it was based on the border between El Paso/Juarez! You did great. 😊
You were right about Nexus, with Canada its called nexus where its a vice versa pass that allows you easy entry to either country. I have one being from a border city in Canada and I skip long ass lines which there usually is 22 hours of the day. I am not sure about what its called with Mexico though.
This is amazing, I can't even make one parking lot lol
Looks amazing! I'd like to suggest to you "ghost roads," mainly for the right side where the trucks go. They do take a little bit more work to set up and to get to look correct, but you can set up completely custom paths.
Awesome work! BTW, I believe that train track you added is just a reversing track for that train yard you see on Google Earth. I believe it is there so that locomotives can uncouple from their trains, pull up into the head shunt, reverse, run around and maybe couple onto the other end of the train...
amazing asset work well done
2:30 I think that is fairly active, it works as a sort of place where trains can back up to get the boxcars onto other tracks in the yard
I wanted to make a good "border" joke, but I didn't want to end up crossing the line, either. 😉
Seriously, though, I like how photo-realistic your city looks.
Thankyou for not doing a joke
ImAFlyingOreo Gaming He did do a joke...
Yes i finally found a current aus city skylines youtuber! Gg time to bing watch☺
Such an amazing content! You sir just got 1 subscriber!
This is beautiful ! Pls build a shopping mall somewhere in the middle of the border
I use the San Diego/Otay Mesa point. Whenever you do passport renewals/services or Global Entry or anything citizenship related, you will most likely be able to do it in an airport, or a border office.
This is amazing.
I propose you make a car factory in the other side of the border
lol
My computer would heat up if i downloaded too much mods and i also dont have time to do that... this piece of work is amazing
Just use Traffic Manager and block one segmenet at the border for service vehicles. Then use the service vehicle mod to select the vehicles per building.
this is really cool, i live in el paso, used to be on base, but moved to the far east part of town, if you’re gonna do the whole city, all of el paso, i’d be cool if you can fix the traffic on i-10 cause that’s really annoying during rush hour
You could have some of the ploppable construction worker props as kind of the guys flagging down, searching the traffic, or diverting it, maybe? There are police officer props, I think.... i don't know... either way looks fantastic as always!
just saying that train track irl is used for trains to switch lanes even under heavy station traffic. every lane closes down into the same one and its always kept empty to let trains switch if needed by backing all the way out then going back in through another route
Great work man. I always appreciate nice looking builds which are also functional. In CLS you have to think so much outside the box that it is crazy. I'm using this same technique with lanes to force traffic into every lane :D For example at my airport I have right lane for buses and trucks middle lane for service vehicles and taxi and the left lane for cars. Also there is other way how to do that but you need someone who would create that asset for you but it should not be difficult. You take some van like Ford Transit or F350 and you set it as industrial or residential vehicle. This way you have same car behaving differently (using different lane) because one is for people and second is for goods. 3rd car can be some Dodge Charger for example as Taxi, Residential and Commercial. So doing it this way you have same car which follows different rules set by traffic manager.
very awesome. love this
