    I had no idea the two were so close, so how good would it be to join the two with CSX's S & C Subdivision! It's 45 miles long which is around the standard length for a TSW route and it looks like quite a pretty little route. I know Dovetail haven't done this before so it's a bit of a long shot but what better way to start than by connecting the oldest route with the newest.

    You can find some photos of it here.

    Everyone here would love to have route extensions. I'm sure Matt would be the first in the line.
    The problem is it is technically very difficult, and is out of reach for the resources DTG currently has.

    Long shot and If I play this it's a snooze fest. This will play like any other US Freight route.

    Here's your problem, the route that connects the 2 isn't a mainline anymore. And from something on trainorders from 2007. CSX only runs 2 trains on this line.

    D703


    And T586, but I dont think that runs anymore.

    So you would end up with a route with LESS SERVICES THEN CANE CREEK.......
