Easy fix, don't do a modern route. Lots of good locos to pick from before the 2000's. EMD F3A/B FP7A/B F9A/B FP9A/B GP7/B GP9/B GP30/B GP35...

Don't forget the SD40-2 and it's cousin the SD40.
They did run like that later in life though.... [ATTACH]
I already said what I said earlier, and Ill keep my stance, much more better options that this... And now it doesn't even come with period stock?...
Wow, the F7 is even worse that I thought, you guys at DTG couldn't even give it proper rolling stock to run with..... The only nice thing about...
Imagine if a future US route had a realistic cold start for a steam locomotive.....
At this rate they might as well cancel it, what's the point of having a contest if they cant even run it properly.
VRC included the rusted C30-7 due to it being part of a career scenario, its a shame they are no longer around to develop good NA Loco DLCs
I mean in reality, not every train is taking track 3 down Cajon Pass.

Pretty sure they aren't communicating ATM due to a bank holiday, they'll be back tomorrow, hopefully.
I think they are not at work today due to the queens passing.
I think it more has to do with the Queen passing vs TSW3 releasing.
I will also note that the route came with UP autoracks on the route, instead of generic or BNSF ones. Why would BNSF be against actual trains on...
I mean UP doesn't seem to mind the other way around (Tehachapi Pass) I don't know why BNSF would be up in arms about it, since it is a IRL...
They've apparently didn't even bother labeling anything on the line, so seems like the line was an afterthought, even though the Cutoff is part of...

Be advised in real life, since DTG didn't add any of the UP trains that run from the Cutoff to Daggett, there is only abut 6-8 trains on the...
Yeah, seems like DTG forgot to close the contest, again.....

Scenery Wise, that's a negative, there are areas where IMO Sand Patch Grade still outclasses it

They sub in on the Palmdale Cutoff but nowhere else, no clue why DTG didn't add them to the whole route
