    I know I've posted about this route before, but I want to update it based on Matt's route proposal advice.
    I'd like to preface by saying that the The Reading and Northern Railroad (headquartered in Port Clinton Pennsylvania) is known to be one of the friendliest railroads. From what I know they are railroad enthusiasts themselves. I think they would be great to work with.
    This would be a great addition as a flagship US route for Train Sim World 6, 7 or beyond. The initial release could contain an SD40-2 and SD50. Along with a couple trinity hoppers and high-cube box cars (plus various reskinned freight wagons from other US routes). This would be a great start. This iconic class 2 railroad stretches 35 miles from Port Clinton to Jim Thorpe, PA, and is beloved by American railfans for its use of older workhorse locomotives on freight services. Additionally, The Reading and Northern offers scenic passenger excursions by steam or diesel. It would be a great route for TSW for it's unique and varied services.

    DLC and future expansions that US fans would go nuts for:

    -The Reading T-1 Steam Locomotive with coaches
    - An expansion from Jim Thorpe, PA to a small section of the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway

    GP38-2
    SD50M
    MP15
    GP39RN
    SD-38
    Budd Cars

    The fact that both locomotives have probably forever been owned and operated by the Reading & Northern!
