    My suggestion is a Canadian Mountain Passes route from Revelstoke-Lake Louise (or just a portion of that segment because it is a long route)

    This route already exists in TS Classic: https://store.steampowered.com/app/...nadian_Mountain_Passes_RevelstokeLake_Louise/

    Dovetail Games does have a CP License so this *shouldn't* be a problem. upload_2023-2-11_21-6-12.png

    The trains would ideally be a Canadian Pacific AC4400CW (modified/reused from Sand Patch Grade), and a Canadian Pacific SD70ACu (modified from Sherman Hill SD70ACe)
    Freight cars would probably just be reskinned existing wagons.

    Images of the route can be found on the TS Classic steam store page, as well as on Google.

    Canada needs some more love in TSW, the only Canadian route we have is Oakville and that is just a disaster of a route, and it would bring a new railroad into the game.

    Canadian Pacific AC4400CW (This would be modified from the CSX AC4400CW from Sand Patch Grade)

    Canadian Pacific SD70ACu (This would be modified from the UP SD70ACe from Sherman Hill)

    This route would bring a proper Canadian route to the game, a new railroad, and a very scenic freight route.

    The spiral bends are incredible looking too

    like imagine just going through that section in Train Sim World

    The ACU could not be modified from the SD70ACe

    Mainly because the ACU's are rebuilt SD9043MACs, and are not the same as an SD70ACe.

    The SD70ACe for example is 74' 3" long, the SD9043MAC is 80' 2" long.

    They could heavily modify the existing model and redo everything else.
    It falls under the "One new loco (ACu) and one reused (AC4400CW)"

    Let me guess the Kicking Horse Pass route and this works like Norfolk Southern Saluda Grade where DPU Fencing is needed

    I would love to see the Canadian Mountain Passes in the game.

    Yes please!!! I'm not having problem to reusing existing engines and update it to CP Rail specification just do the physics correctly and if possible do real DPU operation/simulation.
