    Not talking about the Morristown route, but the specific DLC add on the ALP-45DP.
    Not a "suggestion" per se, but just wondering if maybe we'd see it on a new Canadian route?
    Seems a lot of work to make a logo that can only be used on one route.

    What other New Jersey Transit (NJT) routes might we see this operate on?
    20 were built for the Montreal transit system the "Exo."
    That could be very neat as well!

    Seems a waste to not use it on more routes.
    (Given it's based so closely on the TRAXX it should be able to sub in for the 185/101 on German routes too, but I know people would have a fit!)

    DTG also made the EMD F125, where Metrolink is the only operator, and the MPI HSP46, which is only used by MBTA. Them making the ALP-45DP isn't surprising, but at least it has places on other NJT routes, like the existing NEC Line for NY Trenton, but you would have to use Freeroam since DTG doesnt seem like they are updating NY Trenton to allow the new NJT stock to be used.

    Not to mention at this point, DTG doesnt have an EXO license.

    Is DTG listing what licenses they have now?
    That's a pleasant change!

    We have a vague idea of what they do and don't have, and with North America, its pretty easy to see that DTG sticks to what they currently got at the moment. The only new licenses in the US that DTG has used recently are Metrolink and MBTA, and nothing new have been brought out recently. (Metrolink was the last new one in TSW3)

    So the chance that DTG currently have an EXO license are very slim.
