A pair of Southern Pacific GP20s return to Watsonville on the Hollister Branchline during the mid afternoon. Route: Peninsula Corridor: San Francisco to Gilroy Locomotive: EMD GP20
I don't see why not. The Kingwood Branch isn't on the excluded list (Though the B&O Wagon Pack is for some reason...)
That's why I am confused a bit, the B&O Wagon Pack for some reason is available for me with branding even im not from the US. The rolling stock btw is default B&O that you get with the route. Hope the devs will do some update on the excluded content list.

German branch lines are rare in TS2021, but here's a DB BR 232 working its way along the very rural Wutachtalbahn route.

You can find some odd things down branch lines. This is part of the STO building products factory alongside the Wutachtalbahn route. DB BR 232 with Zags wagons. If you think this building is odd have a look at the HQ building about 200 meters behind the camera position! But I like the colours on this building better.

Its the same way with Raton Pass, which is available worldwide (Though without logos) and is still banned from Screenshot contests.
When Richard Llewellyn wrote "How green is my valley", was he looking forward to 1976 and the China Clay workings at Carne Point, Cornwall? With that many trees it just has to be a branch line LOL. (P.S. Click on image to see full detail) Loco:- Class 25 Route:- China Clay for Export

Apologies, thanks for letting me know. I did not see the rules on workshop routes being excluded. I will use only official routes for the following contests.
I was thinking the same thing. This isn't the first time they've used this one after winning with it.
