    Pack 1 idea
    [​IMG]

    EMD DDA40X - The EMD DDA40X is a 6600 hp (4943 kW) D-D locomotive, built from 1969 to 1971 exclusively for the Union Pacific Railroad.[1] It is the most powerful diesel-electric locomotive model ever built on a single frame, having two 16-645E3A diesel prime movers.[2] Union Pacific has marked DD40X on the cab exteriors, while EMD literature inconsistently refers to this model as either DD-40X or DDA40X

    EMD DD35 & DD35A
    The EMD DD35 was a 5,000 horsepower (3,700 kW) diesel-electric locomotive of D-D wheel arrangement built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division for the Union Pacific Railroad and Southern Pacific Railroad.
    The EMD DD35A, also known as the EMD DDA35, was a 5,000 hp (3,730 kW) diesel-electric locomotive of D-D wheel arrangement built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division exclusively for the Union Pacific Railroad. They were a cab-equipped variant of the previous, cabless booster (B unit) EMD DD35

    [​IMG]
    Ge U50 - The GE U50 was an eight-axle, 5,000 hp (3,700 kW) diesel-electric locomotive built by GE Rail. They were twin-engined locomotives, combining two 2,500 hp (1,900 kW) diesel engines.

    UP_GE_U50C.png
    GE U50C - The GE U50C was a 5,000 hp (3,700 kW) diesel-electric locomotive built by GE Transportation Systems. Each was powered by two 2,500 hp (1,860 kW) diesel engines

    [​IMG]
    SD45 - The SD45 is a six-axle diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division between 1965 and 1971. It has an EMD 645E3 twenty-cylinder engine generating 3,600 hp (2,680 kW) on the same frame as the SD38, SD39, SD40, and SDP40

    Pack 2 idea

    Gas turbine-electric locomotives - The Union Pacific GTELs were a series of gas turbine-electric locomotives built by Alco-GE and General Electric between 1952-1961 and operated by Union Pacific from 1952 to 1970. I would like to see all 3 generations in-game


    [​IMG]
    Union Pacific Big Boy - The Union Pacific Big Boy is a type of simple articulated 4-8-8-4 steam locomotive manufactured by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) between 1941 and 1944 and operated by the Union Pacific Railroad in revenue service until 1962.

    [​IMG]
    Union Pacific Challengers - The Union Pacific Challengers are a type of simple articulated 4-6-6-4 steam locomotive built by American Locomotive Company (ALCO) from 1936 to 1944 and operated by the Union Pacific Railroad until the late 1950s

    If these were implemented into loco packs I would also like to see each loco pack get its own timetable.

    Having these engine in-game is quite interesting. But for me, i prefer more option on today's UP's work horses, such as ES44AC, SD70M, C44-9W, or perhaps the remaining survivors of SD9043MAC.

    But let's hope at some point DTG decide to add more engine option for this magnificent route addon.

    Pack 2 because all of the locomotives are existing unlike Pack 1 to which the DD35 & U50C locomotives were scrapped

    A few ideas for these packs:
    1. A pack of UP GTELs with all three versions
    2. The UP Diesel Giants pack with U50, U50C, DD35, DD35A, DDA40X, and add the Alco C855
    3. The UP Steam Pack with Big Boy, Challenger, FEF1/2/3 (include #844, #3985, and #4014), and 4-12-2
    4. A UP Classic Diesel Pack (1950s-70s) with SD24, GP7/9, GP20, GP30, GP35, GP40/40-2, SD7, and SD45
    5. Add Modern (1970s-Present) UP Diesel Packs with GP50, GP60, 3GS-21B Genset Switcher, SD70AH-T4 (UP SD70ACe-T4), C45AH (UP ET44AC), C45ACCTE (UP ES44AC), SD90MAC/SD90-43MAC, SD70M, CW60AC/CW4460AC, C44-9W, and AC4400CW
