    Hey Dovetail, these locos would seriously fit for Sandpatch Grade especially in the hump yards. CSX GP15-1 in YN3b and YN3, Slug sets with GP30 slug, GP40-2 slug the and GP40-2 as a comeback from TSW2020, the yard slug in YN3 and YN3b, and the MP15AC switchers in YN3 and YN3b. Some can be used in mainline service as well. A CSX caboose could come with this DLC . I’d also like to add that on edited liveries, can y’all add customizable random numbers to the side?

    Nice suggestion, but I have a few comments.
    1) Since the Cumberland hump yard is not used, we would just have another loco to do some flat switching in.
    2) There isn't really a point of using these on mainline services, since there is no industry switching on SPG.

    I hope that maybe on a route in the future we can get some freight rr MP/SWs and slug sets to do switching and local runs. Maybe we'll get a NS route with the SD33ECOs and slugs.

    The GP15’s, Slugs, GP40-2(sometimes) and MP15ACs could bring more locals to Sandpatch Grade

    What about a CSX Genset Switcher?

    Yes, but there isn't anywhere for them to go. It would be yet another 2 hour run the full length of route at 30 mph. Nothing we don't already have.

    More locos why not? But what SPG really needs is to be as busy as it is in real life, where it is a prime rail fan location.

    I thought I've heard many say SPG in TSW is busier than irl.
