Nec: New York - Stamford

MAX said 2020 in an earlier post, so no Budds

 

I honestly hope they provide the correct power for CSX freight. They've been running SD40's and AC44CW's lately, but I could see DTG just throwing a Geep in and saying "Have fun!"

 

We desperately need some new US freight locomotives. *cough GP40-2 cough*

 

I agree, but not for this route.

Now across the river, and on the freight route between Selkirk and Jersey, and the Newburgh Secondary... absolutely lol

 

The thumbnail for the route when it was teased was an SD40-2, so there is a chance its the loco coming for the route, if DTG doesn't just use layers for it. However, If they do include a SD40-2 with the route, I would prefer a YN3 version of it, so its at least somewhat different from the SPG SD40-2's (On top of any other changes necessary)

Would of been nice for HIS's SP route, but they chose a GP35, a loco they done to death on TSC in pretty terrible quality.....

 

Although I'm glad to see DTG is somewhat paying attention to doing freight again, I still think the route was a missed opportunity to bring back the GP40-2 locomotive considering it (along with the NEC: NY route) hasn't returned since TSW2020.

 

Again, though, it's not typical power for this route
