    First off, I think this would be a good route (about 73 mile), because a lot of it is on the coast and we can also have the Amtrak California Zephyr p42. They're retiring soon so I thought it would be best to get them in soon. As well as the Amtrak California dash-8 locomotive, with the CDTX cab car. This locomotive also has quite a unique horn which would make it even better on the route.

    The California Zephyr usually has two p42's leading and a luggage care behind them. They're about 12 cars long with a lounge car, café car and 10 coach cars. The Amtrak California dash 8's usually carry 5 coaches and are commuter trains.

    (Note: if this is too far the we can just go to San Clement and maybe have an extension to Oceanside in the future).

    1. It isn't CDTX trains that run on this route, it is Amtrak Surfliner that runs here.

    2. Amtrak California only has TWO Dash 8 locomotives, and both of those are located at Oakland California.

    3. The California Zephyr goes from OAKLAND to CHICAGO, and DOESNT depart from Los Angeles, did you confuse it with the Coast Starlight?

    4. The Dash 8 would make more sense being part of Amtrak's regular fleet, doing either yard work at Redondo Junction, or as fill in power for the Coast Starlight, which does happen every once in awhile.

    I cant tell if you confused your suggestion with one based around Oakland or not.....

    Yeah, but unless the Metrolink licensing issue is resolved, I don't see a route set around LAUPT anytime soon.

    No, but on TS Classic, DTG couldn't get Metrolink licensing for that DLC, and with DTG not wanting unbranded stuff in TSW2, theres a good chance there isn't gonna be an LA area route.

    Oh I loved the Pacific Surfliner route in Train Simulator. This suggestion overlaps part of the route, isn't it? Can't really remember which part of the route, the thing that made the Train Simulator route was the length and the variety of landscapes along that full route.
