    The Chicago South Shore and South Bend would be a very cool route to see added into TSW2. I think that this route is one of the more unique commuter railroads in America. It offers plenty of passenger service out of Chicago around the bottom of Lake Michigan. There is also quite a bit of freight traffic that runs on the line as well. When it comes to what section of the line to include, I'm a little unsure. The one section that would be cool to see is the street running in Michigan City.

    As far as DLC goes, there wouldn't be too much. One possible idea is to have the Little Joe as a DLC. It wouldn't be era correct (as they ran in the 50's), but it would still be pretty interesting.

    This would be a very cool route!! Both commuter and freight in a great setting. As nice as it would be to see the whole route, we would only be able to get a 50-70 mile section of it.
