    9721.1681751519.jpg Since This Route IRL is 180+ miles, DTG should trim it down, but overall, this route will be a hit. Stations will be Dillon, Florence, Kingstree, Charleston, Yemassee, and then Savannah. The ALC-42 Will Be PERFECT! Also, the Viewliner Baggage, Viewliner Dining Car, and the Viewliner Sleeper (Viewliner 1 or 2 Idc really). Those are the NECESSARY Rolling stock for the Amtrak Silver Meteor, BUT... at Florence Station, there is a small CSX yard, so on this route, I feel like we should have the CSX GP38-2 and SD40-2 Doing Switching work. So that is my suggestion for this route. Comment on your opinions on the suggestion!

    ALC-42 needed! Maybe a P42DC Genesis. Maybe some newer rebuilt CSX Dash-3 power (GP40-3 maybe?) We still need the GP40-2 back in game. Passenger cars w/ interiors too.

    Yeah, I agree that we should have it but thats a nice recommendation! :) I also don't think Dovetail will add p42dc because it's being retired
