    Route Suggestion: Brightline - Miami to West Palm Beach
    I think Miami - West Palm Beach would be a great addition to Train Sim World.
    It’s a short, high-speed route (about 1 hour 15 minutes) using Brightline’s bright Siemens SCB-40 Chargers and their sleek, modern passenger cars. The scenery includes South Florida highways, palm trees, and urban views — perfect for a fast passenger experience.
    This would be a nice starter Brightline route and bring more Florida high-speed rail to the game.

    What do you guys think?

    The Florida East Coast RR also shares the tracks, so we should get that line too. We'd need FEC ES44C4s (repainted BNSF ES44C4 from Cajon) with Liquified Natural Gas (LNG; FEC uses this fuel on their ES44s) fuel cars, SD40-3s, GP40-3s, and/or GP38-3s for freight operations. A lot of intermodal and rock trains are handled by FEC, along with other freight too. The ES44s should be painted in both the older FEC Champion livery and the new Mexico RR-inspired livery (I prefer the older livery). Freight rolling stock would include FEC rock hoppers, intermodal well cars, boxcars, tank cars, covered hoppers, etc.

    We also need the Boeing A320/whatever Fuel solages on FEC Freight Stuff Too. We also need SD70M-2s (thanks for commenting!)

    The Brightline route between Miami and West Palm Beach isn’t full high-speed most of the way anyways, a lot of it’s crossings and slower sections.

    The Siemens SCB-40 Charger would be epic, and the scenery would look good, but gameplay-wise it might get boring quickly and knowing DTG, it’d probably be simplified a bit anyways.

    Airplane fuselage trains would be cool. I have a set of BNSF O-Scale Boeing Fuselage Cars on order for my O-Scale Model RR. They are made by Golden Gate Depot and are going to be amazing.
    FEC's SD70M-2s were lease units and are no longer on roster. They use 24 LNG-fueled GE ES44C4s for heavy freights. The SD70M-2s could be a good DLC pack.
