    This is a suggestion for a larger locomotive/rolling stock expansion pack that would expand the USA Freight variety and create a more realistic environment for all the USA routes
    (I've also included the Canadian Route in this in one specific car)
    The EMD SD70M Flared and Non Flared Radiators. For use in SPG Flared & Non Flared in YN3 & YN3B, CJP (In H2, H3, BN Executive)
    HSC (Flared in Horsehead and Whisker Liveries) & SMH (Flared and Non Flared in Flag, & Wing paint)
    The GP40-2
    SPG (Bringing back the old one in a fresh new build and in YN2 & YN3 paint)
    SMH (Wings, & Shield paint)
    HSC (Horsehead and whisker)
    Cane Creek (Wings & Shield paint)
    GP38-2
    UP livery (Wing & Shield for SMH & Cane Creek)
    Rolling Stock Additions for Industries & unit trains not included in the base game
    Modern 2 bay Hoppers for use in SMH
    Trash Carrier Cars (For HSC as NS 64K operates with a full train of these)
    Steel Coil Cars for use in the Oakvile Subdivision. (Or any other USA route that has a steel industry)
    Rolling Stock Variety additions (for all USA freight routes)
    Bulkhead Log Flatcar
    60ft Logging flatcar
    60ft Flatcar
    50ft High Cube Boxcar
    4 Bay Covered Hopper
    Woodchip Hoppers
    5 bay pressure differential hoppers
    4 bay plastic pellet hoppers
    89ft Millitary Flatcars
    Cyndrilical Hoppers
    Autoflood 5 Bay Coal Hoppers
    60ft ACF Boxcar
    89ft Autoparts Boxcar
    The Manifests on SMH, HSC, SPG, & CJP would automatically add random Cars from DLC you own on Mixed Freight trains (as well as Liveries of all the cars from those routes you own from creators club)
    (Oakvile Subdivision already does)
    Autorack trains on SPG would use other Autorack cars from routes you own that have them as well as ones downloaded from the creators club)
    Intermodel Trains would have a mix Maxi-IVs & Husky Stack Cars if you have CJP (Would make it similar to what is seen with Intermodel trains IRL)
    This is kinda of a long list with quite of bit of work needed to be done to get it in
    But it may help increase the player count & monetization with a larger variety per dlc. (Not strictly going off the monetization but unfortunately they are gonna do it anyway so we'll just get it out of the way anyway.
    (The expansion pack will not allow the pack to be used on routes not owned by the player but the stuff for the owned route will work for the player)
    This can also be made into a multi route, Locomotive, & rolling stock expansion pack as one if needed. Unfortunately it cannot be free because dovetail won't do it like that

    We definitely need Dash 9s and SD70Ms in UP and maybe SP and C&NW patched liveries too (for Sherman Hill and Cane Creek), along with NS units for HSC. I'd also like AC4400CWs in BNSF liveries, NS Narrow Cab C40-9s, NS C40-9Ws, NS SD70ACCs (rebuilt SD70s), and NS AC44C6Ms (rebuilt Dash 9s). BNSF also rosters 21 ex-ATSF rebuilt AC44C4Ms that are C44-9Ws with ES44C4 trucks and cabs.

    CSX and BN/BNSF owned SD70MACs which were slightly longer to accommodate the AC traction electrical systems. Those should be added, including the rebuilt versions for CSX (SD70AC) and BNSF (SD70MACe). Also, we should get the BNSF Vomit Bonnet one-off livery SD70MAC. I'd also love to see the new UP livery on Sherman Hill as well.

    As for the GP40-2, we need UP, CN (including wide-cab and Spartan Cab versions) CSX (GP40-2 and GP40-3 rebuild), NS, and BNSF (ex-BN GP40P/M rebuilds).

    More rolling stock: Articulated Auto Racks, Gunderson Multi-Max Auto Racks, Spine Cars, and Roadrailers for HSC. Also UP Rocket Booster Train for Sherman Hill, Dirty Dirt Train cars for Cane Creek, and Continuous Welded Rail Train Cars.
