    Absolutely. I'd also like to see a D&RGW SD50, SD45, SD9 "Cadillac," GP30, SW1200, GP7, and/or GP9. I would love the route to include the base route: Helper-Provo, UT (69 miles long) and the 44-mile-long Salt Lake City extension, which makes the entire route 118 miles long.

    I like in set in the modern era. I’d like to have Union Pacific, BNSF, and Utah railway stuff. Frontrunner commuter trains also run between Ogden and Provo. Having passenger trains between Salt Lake City and Provo would be great.

    OP is a bit light on detail, also needs reminding that DTG have put any further US freight routes off the agenda as the railroads are no longer cooperating.

    The missing cab access story i'snt the real reason that we got no american freight stuff for almost 3 years.

    The real reason is, that DTG makes the same money with english routes by lower costs. And as long there is no competition on consoles DTG will continue this kind of game.
