    As the title says, this is my ideas for possible extensions and DLC Locos for the new ATSF Arizona Divide route.

    -Possible Extensions:
    -Grand Canyon Railway
    -Williams to Kingman
    -Kingman to Needles (and maybe to Barstow later on)

    -Grand Canyon RR:
    The Grand Canyon RR runs to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. The trip is 64 miles.
    -Locos to include with this DLC:
    -ex-CN FPA4/FPB4
    -ex-ATSF GP7u
    -2-8-2 Mikado #4960
    -2-8-0 #29
    -The original route is set in the early 1990s, so the F40PHs would not be in use, but they could easily be added later as a DLC.

    -Williams, AZ to Kingman, AZ:
    -The distance is about 113 miles (give or take), so this section might be possible in TS2020 as a DLC.

    -Kingman, AZ to Needles, CA
    -The distance is about 63 miles or so. This could definitely work, but we'd need the Williams to Kingman extension first.

    -Possible Loco ideas:
    -FP45
    -GP60, GP60M, GP60B
    -GP20
    -SD45
    -SD45-2
    -GP50
    -GP30
    -GP35
    -GP40X
    -GP39-2
    -GP38
    -C44-9W
    -C40-8W/C41-8W
    -B23-7
    -B36-7
    -C30-7
    -U28C/U28CG
    -U30C/U30CG
    -ATSF 4-8-4 #3751 (Restored in 1991)
    -Also, a set of passenger cars for excursions with #3751 are necessary, as well as some more freight cars.
    -BNSF diesels (including ex-BN and ex-ATSF units) could be used on the route, too. Some SPSF Kodachrome painted locos would be nice, too.
