Here's a new Powder River Basin route yet to be created for TSW 5. It would go from Orin Junction to South Morrill/Yoder. The route is over 107 miles. It would be set in the 1990's-2000's-2010's-2020's-present day. The Chicago & Northwestern rolling stock would include C44-9W's, AC4400CW's, SD40-2's, SD50's, and SD60's with freight equipment. The Union Pacific rolling stock would include C60AC's, SD9043MAC's, SD90MAC-H's, C45ACCTE's, C45AH's, AC4400CW's, ES44AC's, ET44AC's, A4460AC's, C44ACM's, SD70AH-T4's, SD70ACE-T4's, and SD70AH's with the same freight equipment like TSC has. This route sounds awesome!
This is totally needed! BNSF also runs Powder River Basin trains, and BN before the 1996 merger with ATSF. Since these are heavy coal trains, I'd suggest the following locomotives: -BN: SD70MAC, SD60MAC, SD45, SD40-2, SD60 -BNSF: SD70MAC, SD70ACe, AC4400CW, ES44AC(H), ET44ACH, C44-9W -UP: SD70ACe-T4, SD70ACe/AH, SD90-43MAC/SD90MAC-H, AC4400CW/C44ACM, C60AC/C4460AC/C44ACM, C44-9W/C44ACM, C45ACCTE (ES44AC), C45AH (ET44AC) -C&NW: SD50, SD60, SD40-2, C44-9W, AC4400CW AC powered locos are used on coal trains in the modern day because of their greater tractive effort.
