    Ditto on the BNSF and UP power. The UP SD70M (they don't roster SD70MACs, by the way) would be awesome to see. A BNSF SD70MAC on Cajon Pass would be great for coal or heavy freight services. I really want a BNSF ET44ACH or ET44C4 in game. The AC6000CW in CSX (and UP) livery would be cool to see; except CSX sold the majority of their CW60ACs, and UP has been rebuilding theirs as C44ACMs.
    The other modern US locos I want are the EMD SD70ACe-T4, SD90MAC-H/SD90-43MAC/SD70ACU, NRE Genset Switchers, and Siemens Charger Series.
    For Great Britain, my choices are the Class 55 Deltic, Class 50 "Hoover," Class 70, Class 56, Class 58, and Class 60.
    For Germany: DB-BR 232

    Thats a regular SD70ACe, the SD70ACe-T4 is different.

    Main differences being the cab window, the midsection of the long hood, and the rear radiator vents.

    The other main difference between the original SD70ACes from EMD and the new Progress Rail/EMD SD70ACe-T4 is on the inside. The older locomotives have EMD's 2-stroke, 16-cylinder 710 Prime Mover, while the new SD70ACe-T4 has EMD's 4-stroke, 12-cylinder 1010J. The 1010J, being a 4-stroke engine, sounds more like a GE GEVO engine or 7FDL16 than an EMD engine. By the way, the 1010J is based on EMD's 4-stroke 265H engine that they used on their unsuccessful SD90MAC-H 6000HP units.
