And that would be much more likely

Just like ECW links with BML. And I agree with that

I'm all for this. This would work greatly.

And you could pretend to be an American tourist/Beatle fan visiting Friar Park when traveling on the Twyford branch to Henley on Thames.

Yes. And the freight services would improve on Peninsula Corridor.

Or the Washington District/B-Line, which would be a perfect route for Rush Hour.

The top hat Dash 9 and widecab variants, SD70 spartan cab, SD70M, SD70ACE, SD70M-2, SD60E would be awesome.

That would come in handy for a N&W route

Update this into the 1980s-1990s, and you'd have early Amtrak and SPSF Kodachrome schemes, as well as Superliner coaches and the F40PH-2s

I should also add Triple Crown Service, if you wanna go old school

And the Class 66, I forgot to mention.

Not to mention ECW also factors in at Brighton Station, with the Class 377 and Class 313.

Or use that for NS, and go with the Strasburg Railroad for steam

And for good measure, throw in the Top Hat 9s.

Capitol Corridor, NEC from Philly to Baltimore, and the Capitol Limited for SPG would be my preferences. And yes, we would. As well as Santa...

Yes, you do. Couple this with the Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Reading, Lehigh and Lurgan Lines, you're all set.

Add in the iconic Pittsburgh Line east to Altoona including the famous Horseshoe Curve or as far as Cresson. Maybe throw in the Cleveland Line out...

Lemme guess, the North Downs Branch from Reading to Gatwick?

And you'd plenty of yards to work with

I should probably add that Lorton, Acca and Richmond Yards would be perfect for switching scenarios.

And would make for great timetable and scenario modes

I should probably add since this route starts in West Colton, there's an opportunity for route layering with the Palmdale Cutoff

Here's another couple route merger ideas: Peninsula Corridor and Capitol Corridor linking up at Santa Clara Junction Sand Patch and Mountain Sub...

Sand Patch Grade(All the way to Connellsville, PA.) CSX's Mountain Sub from Cumberland to Grafton, WV Rio Grande's Moffat Subdivision and Joint...

Take a look at the NS route I proposed.

Those would be perfect!

Perfect route for Rush Hour, IMHO

Especially if the Moffat Sub/Joint Line ever gets considered as a route.

So would I. And the route over Donner Pass to Roseville would be awesome as well..in addition to the West Colton-Palmdale Cutoff from West Colton...

Somerset and Cambria Branch from Rockwood to Johnstown? Which would be another excellent DLC for Sand Patch Grade.

And include hi rail mode

I think so. Like San Bernardino, Sacramento and Roseville Yards, West Colton has a hump.

Glad to help.

CSX definitely has them..so reskinning would be a breeze.

Oh definitely. Complete with both TOFC/COFC and stacks.

Especially the F59PHIs in leased Sounder green and white.

Especially with an SD60M/SD60/SD50 set of pushers from West Colton in the UP era or A tunnel motor trio in the SP era

These would be perfect. Especially for both Peninsula Corridor and Capitol Corridor. And the future UP/SP routes such as Beaumont Hill, Palmdale...

Yes, they are. Especially on coal trains. They were more commonplace on the Old Main Line in the mid 1990s, especially around 1996-1998. As they...

That's where the AC6000CW or SD70MAC would come in

And those engines look really nice. The SD40-2s would definitely get reskinned for sure.

Skyhook Games would be the better option, looking at it now.

And I should also add in the leased Sounder equipment that VRE used. Again, that's where Caltrain would come in for the coaches. And the future...

The Magnolia Cutoff itself could be another companion route as well. Especially from Cumberland to Hancock, WV. In fact, all three routes would be...

Technically, that Victorville extension could work in both the SP and UP eras with the Keenbrook crossovers.

Oh definitely. That was common in the 1990s. Especially on Conrail, CSX and Norfolk Southern. Usually one of their engines would be attached to...

Yes definitely!

Yes definitely. And a great companion route as well.

Oh definitely. And the SD40-2Ws/SD40-2s, GP40-2Ws, C40-8s etc for local and heavy freight. Both VIA and GO Transit would be great for express and...

The Desert Wind, which was the Chicago to Los Angeles section of the California Zephyr, might be making a much needed return in the future....
