I agree with you on making the loco's louder. But there are whistle boards on the route. They are marked "X" instead of "W" to indicate a crossing.
It's time for another batch of photos. Today, I'm focusing on the city of DeKalb. The town is fairly well known for having Northern Illinois...
Hey all! I thought it was time to make a quick update here. I recently met an engineer who worked for CNW on the Geneva Subdivision at the time....
If DTG made an 'L' route, I would happily purchase it. However, I'm still skeptical on the whole idea because I can't see DTG doing an entire city...
It has been a while since this route suggestion has gotten some attention, so I've decided to shed some light on it again. This time, I am...
(2/2) This list covers some locomotives that would work best with a DLC. Feel free to add any comments or suggestions of other locomotives that...
It's been a while since there was a lot of action on this thread, so I've made a list of some of the locomotives I had in mind for the route. I'll...
Hey all! I have made a more complete overview of the various types of rail cars that would come with the route. (Significant car types are...
Chicago & NorthWestern's 'Falcon Service': (DLC) The Falcon Service was a special, express TOFC freight train that ran along the Geneva...
I really like the idea of 'exploring' you mentioned. Having multiple places along the route where you could explore is something I would really...
That's exactly what I was trying to prevent. We really need a freight route where there is many places to explore. If DTG decides it should be a...
I have finally mapped out some of the yards and other railroad facilities along the route. Please check out the 'poll' I added at the bottom....
Ahhhhhh! Okay that would make a lot more sense thank you.
May I ask why you would delete a DLC?
I've made another update to the thread! This time, I started discussing CNW's 'Piggyback Plaza'. (Yes, that's the actual name they gave it) I'm in...
I noticed the Western Pacific box car. What if DTG made an agreement with Union Pacific to have licensing for their 'fallen flag' railroads. Then...
I did some research on the CN line you liked. Unfortunately, it seems like most of CN's yards are actually owned by BNSF, and we all know that...
Didn't even need to read the whole post. This has got my support.
Haha CNW'izing would mean a lot of weathering! CNW switchers were very dirty all of the time. [IMG] [IMG] I also recently noticed that most of...
I would buy that if they added switchers, Amtrak services, etc. Basically a replacement for NEC? But some outside of the US might just see it as...
Glad you liked my idea! Although a C44-9w would be great to see in CNW colors, wide cab locos were fairly uncommon on the Geneva Sub until around...
I think it's a mixture of everything. It seems like DTG picks their European routes based on their personal interest. (Although a good majority of...
Yeah, I was hopping maybe Dovetail could add UP locos into the timetable if Cane Creek is downloaded. Union Pacific was always running their locos...
Hey all! I've updated the thread regarding CNW's trailer on flatcars and how it could add a new game mechanic to TSW. I've also found a video of...
TSW2's loading times are much faster than TSW2020. I usually just save, go back to home, resume, and it fixes everything.
One of the photos shows the old semaphore signals being used. I think that would be really interesting if it was implemented to TSW. (Route uses...
MP15AC. I've never seen an AAR control stand put in the center of the cab like that.
Unfortunately, they aren't :( If DTG got a small group of people in the US just for audio collecting, I think that would work really well. Not...
That's quite a wacky cab design!
Imagine if DTG partnered with Soundtraxx or LocSound in the future. That would be fantastic! Even just a rag-tag bunch of US based railfans...
I swear if they just do a reskin, we're gonna need to sit DTG down and have a serious conversation.
Same thing happens on the GP38 (both UP and CSX) and F40PH. If you turn the warning devices on the F40, the engine will start making a horrendous...
I'm thinking about scrapping the whole Metra idea. I think it's too similar to Peninsula Corridor to be what TSW needs right now. That and the...
Yeah, it's a real shame BNSF won't give licensing to DTG. I also love the Chicago 'L.' However, I'm not sure it has it's place in TSW just yet....
The Freeport was formerly under Illinois Central ownership. Would that affect their licensing?
I believe it's the Freeport Subdivision. It's owned by CN but CSX, BNSF, NS, and some others run on that track. That may cause some licensing...
UPDATE 1/19/21: (Added a full list of Locomotives and Railcars + DLC in the replies) We Need A Classic Chicago Route! Train Sim World really...
