    With the recent merger between the Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern RRs, we should get a CPKC, CP, or KCS route. I'd suggest something out of Kansas City, Chicago, or Canada itself. Locomotives needed:

    -ET44AC: I really want ET44s in TSW5. The new CPKC livery looks awesome on these newer Wabtec locomotives.

    -ES44AC: These wear the new CPKC livery, too. Let's get more ES44ACs in game.

    -SD70ACU: Rebuilt from CP (and some UP) SD90-43MACs, these locos would be a great inclusion in this route. CPKC has military units and some painted in CP's old passenger livery, so those should be included if the SD70ACU is included with a CPKC route.

    -SD30C-ECO: These are rebuilt SD40-2s with new cabs, controls, and electronic systems, and 12-cylinder 710 prime movers. The SD30C-ECOs would be perfect yard and local power on a CPKC route.

    -GP20C-ECO: These locos are rebuilt GP9s with 8-cylinder 710 prime movers. They have new cabs and systems like the larger SD30C-ECOs. The bodies of these locos looks similar to EMD GP60s, but they are shorter.

    -AC4400CW(M): CP's large roster of AC4400CWs have been undergoing rebuilding into AC4400CWMs, similar to CSX and UP's rebuilt AC4400CWs. Some of these units would have the GE steerable trucks.

    SD40-2s, GP38-2s, GP40-2s, SD60s, SD60Ms, and CPKC's Hydrogen Fuel Cell locomotive (formerly SD40-2F Cowl Units) would be cool to see as well.

    Very good proposal Jedi. Do you know if the 24 EMD SD70ACe's from KCS have the new CPKC paintsheme in the meantime?

    Can DTG even get a CP licence or permissions, though? Telling that the only Canadian route we got was based around CN.

    Sadly this probably falls into the sorting bin of US freight on hiatus until further notice.
