    This route is one of the two routes that travel north from Denver along the front range and passes through many cities in Northern Colorado. Make sure to include the Fort Collins area of the route, as it includes some cool aspects, such as a diamond crossing and a lot of street running along Mason Street. The route is owned by BNSF and in the future will be used by the CoCo (Colorado Connector) passenger train. The trains, from what I can tell, are just regular BNSF trains with generic freight.

    More BNSF and UP in the same route? Count me in! We do need BNSF Dash-9s (and/or maybe rebuilt AC44C4Ms) and maybe GP38-2s, GP39-3s (ex-BN GP30/GP35 rebuilds), and of course, ET44C4s/ACHs. As this is an ex-Colorado & Southern/CB&Q line (later BN and now, BNSF), we could get this line with C&S/CB&Q power (SD7s, SD9s, U33Cs, GP30s, GP35s, GP20s, SD24s, etc.) or BN power (GP39E/M/Vs, GP40-2s, GP50s, SD40-2s, SD70MACs, SD60Ms, U-Boats, Dash-7s, GP38-2s, etc.).
    The street running in Fort Collins is a cool operation. We also have Cheyenne in game with Sherman Hill, so that is a must-have location. If we get Denver in game, we should also get yard operations at Denver's Rice Yard.
