    The Caltrain DLC used to have a switcher where you did lots of general duties even recovery of locomotives and what not. Yard work was also assigned to this unit as well. I actually never got a chance to drive it because the entire DLC was gone. So the logical thing is to re-introduce it again but as an addition to exisiting american/canadian routes. There a few to put it work on already. The switcher already exists but needs porting over and updating. So it's a good idea overall.

    The loco was a MP15DC, not a SW1500.

    Thanks for the correction, yes that unit is a no brainer. bring her over to tsw5, plenty of work ahead with amtrack even.

    I would like to see again the SW1000R that we had for the original NEC and lost with TSW 2.

    I honestly wish they'd reskin the Mp15 and use it for...anything, really. Love that loco, and the other two Caltrain trains you can drive on other routes.
