For the US, they currently have a CSXT C40-8W in the works... With this, maybe we will finally have a horn that sounds realistic for the Dash 8s... Maybe next will be the GEVOs?!?! Dovetail Currently has the Clinchfield Railroad from Elkhorn to Dante in planning which should come with SD40-2s and F7As and F7Bs... Dovetail also has what seems to be UPs Cane Creek Sub out in Utah which will come with the AC44s and SD40-2s... What are y'alls thoughts
I just wanted to say I really like how you did this thread. It makes it easier to see what’s coming for USA content! I am really excited for the Cane creek route as it takes place in a desert region which we never have had on TSW!
Yeah all is good I wonder if in the future they will include some passenger routes like a Amtrak route that features the Amtrak train P42DC or Miami - West Palm Beach featuring the trains Amtrak P42DC locomotive with Silver Star passenger cars, Dash 8-40CW locomotive in CSX Livery & Locomotive BL36PH
Frankly speaking, I am disappointed about USA heavy freight routes! Please notice: - The first TSW route ever made was Sand Patch Grade. So it is the oldest route and the first locomotives available. It have some improvements on TSW2. This is ok for now For the future, it seems not will have good news. Due to I and lot of others community members have requested more heavy freights routes, and much modern locomotives and more models It is mentioned Cane Creek. But this is not a route, it is just an UP branch. And it is just 35.77 miles! Not so long, for a heavy freights, which are long trains, so longer routes are required Apart from that, no new locomotives we will se there! They are exactly the same we have on CSX now! No modern EMD locomotives, or at least modern versions of the Dash 9 locomotives as the ES44AC, or the Tier4. - Even Sand Patch will get and older GE version as the C40-8W. No Ok for this route. We need modern ones! - Furthermore they will be among the latest ones mentioned on the road map. So in resume, really short only one new route, even older locomotive models, and no new ones, as the community interested on heavy freight has requested. For European trains - which some of them I like too -it is quite different situation Full of news, new and old trains and routes of all kind. It is a pity heavy freights will not have at least one modern long route with modern locomotives and new freight cars A semi - desert (so less scenery deteails needed - Union Pacific one, of Arizona, California, or Texas would be great!
