And we'd get to run the famed "Trailer Jets".
And in return SPG will get a 1980s Chessie/B&O/WM DLC.
And at Highfield, you interchange with the Maryland Midland. The other I'd look forward to with this would be the Chessie System DLC which would...
Does this add layers onto Peninsula Corridor or vice versa?
NS's ACEs are 1000-1200. And the ET44AHs are 3600-3700.
The NS ES40DCs were 7500-7700.
These would make more sense now especially with Cane Creek being released.
Complete with Superliners and depending on which era, mail boxcars
Yes sir, we finally would.
I don't see why not.
Pocahontas District for coal.
I like this alot. I think some additional DLC could be the standard cab C40-8 or the SD40-3. And add helper services from Connellsville to Sand Patch.
And both routes would make great Rush Hour routes.
That would also be amazing as well. Both of these routes will be fun for Rush Hour
And freight services on this line would be a blast to run. If it's in the 1990s it's all Conrail..or 1999-2000, it's CSX on one end at Benning...
I think Donner Pass would be another route as well. From Roseville to Sacramento or Truckee. Depending on far you want to go.
And freight services would be provided by both Norfolk southern with freight off of the Port Road branch as far as Bayview Yard in Baltimore and...
And maybe updating into the 1990s/1980s, to accommodate Amtrak.
Especially with Union Pacific and Canadian National run-through power
Oh definitely. And it would be a fun route as well
Oh definitely. Even the NS Harrisburg/Lehigh and Reading Lines get freight from Roselle to Bound Brook.
Will the traffic be layered on Peninsula Corridor or any other route?
That is an excellent idea
Exactly.
Definitely, especially if you time it in 1999, you have the FL9s, P42s and P32ACs and CSX traffic to work with.
How about all 3?
Glad to help, friend.
Especially when both lines have freight activity. And the Hudson Line is right across the river from CSX's River Line.
And they travel on the Lehigh Line as far as Port Reading Junction where they diverge onto the Trenton Sub towards Philly.
Right on the money.
Nice one. Something to look forward to. BML is definitely gonna be the busiest of the three. Heavy freight, commuter and express passenger trains...
And the C&F Branch near Alburtis on the Reading line.
And on RF&P, these are Q0xx, Q141/Q140, Q135/Q136 services etc.
You're right ✅. It's both CSX and Providence and Worcester providing freight services in this stretch. And on BML, I think in addition to ECW and...
Exactly, or the Mountain Sub
Oh definitely. Or a GP30.
Indeed, both heavy freight and passenger traffic between Roselle Park and Bound Brook Jct.
I second this. Plus in Phillipsburg/Bethlehem, you have the Cement Secondary, Freemansburg Secondary etc for local services.
Here are some DLC suggestions: SD70M, SD70 spartan cab, C40-9 Top Hat, SD40-2 High and Low Nose. And route layering: this would factor in the...
We can also use the SD50s for this route. But so far I like what I see
Nice. This and the Capitol Corridor routes will be fun for Rush Hour
I would totally buy this for sure
This is a cool route I'd love to see. I'd also love the Gladstone Branch and Raritan Valley Line. And NS's Lehigh & Reading Lines
This is another route I'm proposing which would also be a companion to SPG. The Magnolia Cutoff. The route would start off in Cumberland and run...
Noted. And I've made some edits to my contribution as well to include it
I think some possible US steam routes would be the Strasburg Railroad, the Western Maryland Scenic(in which you could operate both 734 and 1309),...
Citation needed.
And of course brakevans, depending on when they were withdrawn.
And that's quickly becoming popular.
I second this
