There are several types of freight trains in the US: -High-priority unit trains (coal, oil, intermodal, autorack, etc.); these trains go from...
Settle and Carlisle Line would be my first choice, as would a 1960s-70s-era ECML section with Class 55 Deltics.
Perhaps the remaster could add a Class 56 and/or Class 58 for more variety on freight services.
The F59PHRs are a good addition to the Metrolink roster, but those continuous welded rail cars would be amazing to see in game. Plus, they could...
I want some ATSF steam power in game: Santa Fe #3751, #2926, other ATSF 4-8-4s, 3000-Class 2-10-10-2, 5000 "Madame Queen", 5001-Class, and...
This sounds like a fantastic idea for TSW5. Great scenery with mountains, the Pacific Ocean and Puget Sound; lots of trains; and of course, big...
-My route suggestions: -ATSF/SP or BNSF/UP Tehachapi Pass: Mojave-Bakersfield -SP Peninsula Corridor w/ FM Trainmaster, GP9 Torpedo, Alco S4, Alco...
I would love the NYC steam power. It's a pity that we can't get Conrail in game. I'd love some CR power, especially an SD80MAC, C40-8W, SD70I,...
A CN ET44AC, C40-8, C40-8W, Wide-Cab SD40-2, GP40-2, and/or GP38-2, SD60 (Spartan and Wide-Cab units), and/or AC44C6M could also be operated on...
Here's a suggestion for another Union Pacific route for TSW. This one is a flatter run over the prairies of Nebraska. The route runs from Omaha...
Add the SP/ATSF Kodachrome, B&O, PRR, and CB&Q liveries and maybe some chopped-nose versions. I'd love an SP Black Widow version with all of the...
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...
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...
Siemens Chargers are a must for me. We should get them on a Brightline/FEC route (SCB-40), Pacific Surfliner (SC44 in both PS and Coaster...
Still hoping for a Class 55 Deltic, Class 50 "Hoover", Class 70, Class 67, Class 69, Class 60, Class 56, and Class 58.
The restored and operational Santa Fe 4-8-4s #3751 and #2926 are a must in game. These locos would be seen on Pacific Surfliner, Cajon Pass, Raton...
The B&O Baldwin, FM, and Alco diesel locomotives would be awesome to see on Sand Patch or maybe a B&O Harper's Ferry Route. Too bad we can't get a...
For freight trains, one player could drive the train and the other could handle conductor or brakeman duties (throwing turnouts, uncoupling,...
The SD90MAC and SD90-43MAC in UP livery would be awesome, but we'd probably get an NS SD70ACU rebuild (for HSC; this should happen in the future)...
A CN SD75I or SD75ACC, AC44C6M, ET44AC, and/or C44-9W would be great to see. More US freight routes are needed in game.
The ET44AC is a must-have modern diesel loco for me. I'd prefer UP (C45AH) or BNSF (ET44C4 or ET44ACH) versions.
The Class 55 Deltic is needed on the ECML.
This sounds like an awesome route. It's a pity that DTG won't make this route set in the steam-era with DM&IR's massive 2-8-8-4 M3/M4...
The Adirondack (New York-Montreal) is another great idea, although, the route is 381 miles long (way too long for TSW). I would really like to see...
You also forgot to include the #4014 and other Big Boys, as well as the 4-12-2s for steam. Maybe a 2-8-8-0 "Bull Moose", 2-8-8-2, etc. I still...
My US route wishlist: 1.) Santa Fe RR! One of my favorite US railroads; still want the ATSF (or BNSF) Seligman Sub: Needles, CA-Winslow, AZ (or a...
You've been suggesting some great fallen flag railroad ideas, Jack. The Great Northern would be amazing. The mountain scenery in Montana's Rocky...
We absolutely need the WP's Feather River Canyon Route added to TSW4/TSW5. The Oroville-Portola expanded version from TS Classic would be awesome....
With a remaster to CSX Heavy Haul, I'd love to see the CSX ES44AHs, CSX Heritage ES44AHs (especially the WM, B&O, and Chessie units, as all three...
A narrow-gauge, steam-powered German tourist route: Harz Narrow Gauge
My prefered route: CB&Q Chicago-Aurora Racetrack. I'd love to see a Burlington E8 or E9 for commuter and passenger trains, a GP30 (one of my...
As a huge Santa Fe RR fan (it is one of my favorite RRs of all time) We need Santa Fe locos on Cajon Pass or a new ATSF route. I really want the...
The Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad (D&RGW) runs through the rugged Rocky Mountains of Colorado and Utah. The D&RGW is famous for their...
Ffestiniog would be my choice for a Welsh RR line.
Can't forget the BNSF livery version. SP #4449 was leased temporarily to the BNSF when the merger was finalized in 1996.
The Metra BNSF Line, also known as the BNSF Racetrack due to its high speeds (up to 70MPH for passenger trains) and triple mainline, is a route...
Great suggestion, Brandon. I'd also love to see the CN Heritage ET44ACs and the GTW SD70M-2 (which would be appropriate for this route as an...
SP Peninsula Corridor is a route that I would love to see. I would love to drive an SP Black Widow diesel loco on commuter services. The FM...
SP's small number of unique SD45Xs (6 units) handled freight trains out of Roseville in the 1970s, so those could be a possibility, too. The SP RR...
The GP30 is a nice locomotive to include. I love GP30s, especially because I got to operate one in real life (UP #844 GP30 in Boulder City, NV)....
-US Route Suggestions: -Pacific Surfliner: LA-San Diego w/ BNSF ET44C4 or C44-9W and/or GP60/GP60M w/ BNSF freight cars, Siemens SC44 Charger and...
The Chargers would be better suited for the Pacific Surfliner or Amtrak Cascades routes (both routes should be added to TSW4 or TSW5).
Great idea! There's an HO-Scale model railroad layout on Youtube called the BNSF Fall River Division that has working defect detectors that work...
So would I. Great scenery and interesting operations. The snowplow should be operational, too. That would be so cool.
My US loco wishlist: -GP60 (UP, BNSF, ATSF, NS, CSX, SP), ATSF/BNSF GP60M(-3), ATSF/BNSF GP60B -B40-8 and B40-8W -C44-9W/BNSF AC44C4M/NS AC44C6M...
The Class 70 is needed so that modern British routes have a different freight loco other than the Class 66 (although I do like the Class 66s).
Brightline is a route that is needed in TSW4. We'd get freight w/ FEC ES44C4s, SD40-2s/-3s, GP40-2s/-3s, and/or GP38-2s/-3s, along with FEC...
Tees Valley needs a Class 60 and 56. A Class 50 "Hoover" and Class 58 "Bone" are must haves for me. ECML needs a Class 55 Deltic. A Class 70 and...
They do have SD70ACCs, though, Blacknred81, which are rebuilt SD70 Spartan Cab units with SD70ACe cabs and AC traction motors. NS also rosters...
This route needs at least 4 locomotives: two for CSX freights, one for Amtrak, and one for MARC. For CSX heavy freight, I'd suggest the ES44AH;...
