    Well, maybe not demand, ‘cause that’s not how we do things in Canada, but we ask LOUDLY for a new Canadian route... well, that’s probably still too rude for us, so how about Canadians would REALLY LIKE IT if we had a new Canadian route to try...

    TSW’s production schedule cycle is much longer, and Unreal Engine is more realistic in terms of graphics, but this also increases the development time.
    I also look forward to shipping routes from the United States and Canada!

    Well, I guess Canadians are just like anyone else in the world. They'd like a route from their country. Great suggestion...

    I think anything a tad more specific would be more helpful.

    I really like the old MSTS Kicking horse pass made by Maple Leaf Tracks back in the days. This route would be awesome with the spiral tunnels and all. Of course, in the era of the multimark scheme... colourfull rolling stock. Old Time Trains (trainweb.org)

    Tunnels are explain here Canadian railway tunnels Snow Sheds with a special look at the CPR The Spiral Tunnels (yourrailwaypictures.com)

    Also in this era, they use robot cars (boxcar or old f7b) to stock the locotrol equipement in mid-trains dpu.

    What's that route that goes through a national park. I can't remember, but there are a lot of diversity of the scenery.

    It's either Canadian Mountain Passes with Banff, or it could Canadian National Yellowhead which goes through Jasper.

    Yellow head that's it. I know it has both passenger and freight service plus the rocky mountaineer if i have remembered correctly.

    thanks. In order to make this route there shouldn't be a lot of modifications to add to already made engines and new passenger cars will have to be designed and made.

    The locomotives would take a bit of work as the only one in game now SD40-2 which is used by the Rocky Mountaineer, the coaches would all have to be made from scratch same would with the VIA stock. As well as the SD60M would need to be made from scratch. The other rolling stock could be brought over from the Oakville route.

    I like the idea of Kicking Horse Pass with Canadian Pacific Railway I always loved it from the MSTS days.

    If there is a new Canadian route in planning, it’s probably one that has already been made for TS, such as the Canadian mountain pass with CP ES44ACs, or another CN route since DTG already has a license for it.

    Even better how about Montreal Gare Centrale to Plattsburgh New York via Rouses Point, NY. The Adirondack Amtrak train. How about Maple Leaf North Niagara Falls, NY to Hamilton, ON where the Amtrak Genesis Locomotives can layer into The Existing Oakville Subdivision. Route. Can be bundled with MTA Hudson Line as NYC to Toronto the Maple Leaf Express. The bundle is made up of MTA Hudson Line Maple Leaf North Niagara Falls, NY to Hamilton, ON & Oakville Subdivision Hamilton to Oakville, ON. GO Transit Lakeshore West trains if DTG gets GO Transit license can be Reskinned from Caltrain Baby Bullet DLC.
