    About
    The proposed section of this Line spans approximately 96 Miles (154 km), running from Philadelphia - Hoboken & New York. Featuring a maximum line speed of 100–110 mph (160–177 km/h), both passenger and freight services would be present.
    • Both Diesel and Electric passenger and freight services
    • 3 Major freight yards
    • several smaller yards, siding and industrial spurs
    • Final years of the GG1s and E44s
    • Final years of electrified freight
    • Old but well-known Amtrak rolling stock

    Great idea ,don't think the route length would be a huge problem although I think it would be on the max for DTG,
    The rolling stock is definitely far too much don't ever see that happening,and although there are period routes in the sim how popular would this be? Don't forget they go on how many sales it would generate ,
    For me though it gets a big thumbs up

    The aem-7 had only just been introduced into service in 1980 so it probably be a bit early for them.
