    I would like to see an add-on route of Sunrail for TSW 2 or TSW 2021 if possible. The Central Florida Rail Corridor (CFRC), agency of Sunrail, is a 49 mile north-south commuter rail line from DeBary (North of Sanford) to Poinciana (South of Kissimmee) which comprises pretty much the metro-Orlando area of Central Florida. This rail line was once owned and operated by CSX.

    Locomotive: MPI MP32PH-Q

    Horn: New Cast P5 for locomotive and P3 for Cabcar

    Locomotive and Cabcar Bells: E-Bell

    Railcar/Cabcar: Bombardier Bi-level

    Other rail services along Sunrail Corridor line:

    Amtrak (Silver Star/Silver Meteor - both services between Miami and New York (single level railcars) and Auto Train - service between Sanford and Lorton, Virginia (Superliner Cars))

    Local CSX freights - Between: Sanford and Taft (South of Downtown Orlando), Poinciana and Taft, DeLand and Sanford

    Rail yards: Taft Yard - CSX, FCEN (Trackage Rights), Local industrial Spurs, Rand Yard - CSX along next to Sunrail Commuter Maintenance/Yard/Dispatch center, Amtrak - Auto Train facility (yard and wash), Pineloch and Kaley Yards (South Downtown Orlando area), and Poinciana Industrial Spur track.

    Stanton connection - CSX coal train - 17 to 20 miles to the Orlando Utilities Commission Coal Power Station from main line connection (Wye tracks from Sunrail mainline trackage) which they are south of Taft. The Coal train itself goes and comes from either Kentucky or West Virginia.

    FCEN - Florida Central Railroad: Regional Rail line between Tavares and Downtown Orlando (connection to Sunrail Mainline Trackage Southbound) - Freight Service carries all the way to Taft (South of Downtown Orlando)

    I would love to have the new “high speed” bright line from Florida in the game, if we would get a line from that area

    And a auto train would be cool although where would it go from Orlando. It's not heading all the way to DC that's like 1200 miles
