    I think it would be great for TSW5 to have more Canadian DLCs, being as there's only one at the moment and it is Canadian National i think they should do a short line that is involved with Canadian Pacific. This short line is called Ontario Southland Railway OSR for short and they run from Tilsonburg Ontario, to Ingersoll Ontario, and from St.Thomas Ontario to Woodstock Ontario, not a very long line but they have about 25 to 30 industries on the line. They do work in the Canadian Pacific yard in Woodstock and work in the Canadian National yard in Tilsonburg. They normally start at 8:00am and finish at 4:00pm. They operate out of Salford Ontario and they operate the hole line from their because that's where they have their locomotive shops. They have a massive fleet of locomotives mostly built in the 50s and 60s. OSR has 4 RS23s, 4 GP9u's, 102 the last GP9 ever built, 175 a GP9 high hood, 3 RS18u's, Alco S6, 2 FP9a's, 4 SW1200RSu's, and a snow plow. Not all locomotives need to be modeled but they got a lot to choose from. So I think OSR would be a great short line for TSW5 to model.

    Alcos and vintage EMD locos! This sounds like a great route! Hopefully we could get interchange operations with CPKC or CN. The route has two subs: St. Thomas at 33.6 miles long and Port Burwell at 17.5 miles long, for a total of 51.1 miles.

    North American players (including me) would definitely enjoy this, but there’s just not enough services. It wouldn’t sell. DTG isn’t gonna put in effort to make a route like this unfortunately
