I think it depends on whos Sub lettering is on the side of the locomotive. I don't know who owns the actual rights to the combined SPSF ones....
Looks like it based on these 2 photos. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Its possible, but I think you would have to built it from scratch, the Clear Creek route is the only one I know of that uses dual gauge track....
Rolling Stock Rolling stock may be a bit harder to produce, as some cars would need to be made from scratch or heavily modified from existing...
So, while I know this would be kind of a overambitious idea for the upcoming Tehachapi Route, I though I could speculate what could be used for a...

Negative, Marc has posted about it on his own forums and Trainsim.com. He still has plans for the route, with the option of backdating his in the...
Glad to see the SD70ACe looks much better here than Grainger Heartland. A more consistent livery with the rest of the UP locos, and the fixed...

Yeah, I took a look at the last 3 DTG routes. Cross City -Announced: March 16th (Tuesday) -Released: March 19th (Friday) -3 days Riesa - Dresden...
Wondering if this route will release tomorrow or Friday, since there is nothing on the TSW2 side of things, and this article was published last...
So this mainly applies to the next new US route that would feature intermodal traffic. The few names I'm gonna suggest are owned/offered by the...
Odd how this roadmap uses a pic of the original preview AC4400CW, and not the redone one that we saw in the last article, with the cleaner livery...
Go look back at page 2.
Those are the original orders that UP had, once they went thru the paint shop, they had their doors replaced or modified. Here is 6670 that you...
Whats funny is that is the original AC4400CW we saw in the 1st article, it doesn't have the changes we saw in the latest article.
Interesting that they made it a Mastery Award instead of keeping it there as default.
I agree that train length is one thing that would be an issue if Tehachapi was to be brought over. For 1, one of the challengers as stated above...
You cant really make it shorter without sacrificing the route though.... Where are you gonna put the end of the line? In the middle of nowhere?...
Ok, now I'm really confused on the AC4400CW model, as this is a photo from the June Sale Newsletter. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] If you notice, both the...
If anyone wants a read, I stumbled across a Union Pacific employee timetable for the Mojave Sub from 2013. It includes grade profiles and track...

Which is odd, as those got removed over time, at least with 157. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Agreed, especially since the Avelia Liberty trains have been delayed till 2022 for service....
One more thing to add Was there ever any plans to have the mainline go as far west as Green River, or was the small section between Brendel and...
Just a note, if anyone is interested in watching actual traffic on the line, the Tehachapi Depot has 3 livestream cameras on the pass At their...
Only reason I know about the IBs is because 14 were bought and rebuilt for use here in California. [ATTACH]
Will be buying this tonight, but more excited to put them in Tehachapi when that comes out.
So, looking thru the photos now that I'm home from work, and I'm quite surprised that Dovetail modeled the Amtrak San Joaquin Station decently...
It will be available worldwide, but for those outside the US, your locomotives will look like this, missing the BNSF logos. [ATTACH]
Not sure what is realistically available for this route. The SD90MAC most likely won't happen due to the SD9043MAC being released for Grainger...

Don't think a backdated route is necessary, as outside of maybe the Signals and some additions of double track in select areas on the Pass, the...
Unlikely for this era, as the Southern Pacific "technically" only owned the Cane Creek branch from 1988 to 1996. Most of the locomotives ives...
The ALCO PA definitely can fit this time period. The SP owned about 39 PAs and 13 PBs (More if you include the SSW and TNO orders) And they did...
If you scroll up a bit, you should see the links for them.
Read the article via a link on Facebook. Disappointed that its going to be set in the modern era, would of really of loved to seen the route set...
The BNSF Dash 9 pack has very weird physics out of the box, its couplers would pull apart so far the couplers would be floating between 2...
I forgot how great the D&RGW SD9 looks. shame the model hasn't been used outside of scenario packs.... [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
For the 5 original locos that came with Donner Pass..... C44-9W Definitely needs an upgrade, but Dovetail hasn't touch a Dash 9 in quite a long...
There are no more passenger services on the line after 1971, Amtrak didn't maintain them and Southern Pacific denied them.
One last add for this route is 2 potential branch lines for the route. The 1st is the Arvin Branch Line, which splits off of the Mainline between...
Wont happen, DTG doesn't touch BNSF content anymore, and no one has made a BNSF locomotive DLC in awhile (DTM's SD45-2 I think was the last)
Maybe they can make it up by giving us something like the Arvin Branch, or the line that goes west from Mojave to the CalPortland plant.
Norfolk Southern doesn't own any AC4400CW's, NS 1170 is an SD70ACe. Closest thing would be an AC44C6M, which are DC to AC conversions and...
