The CSX rolling stock would include CW44AC's, CW60AC's, SD70AC's, SW1500's, MP15AC's, SD35's, MP15's, MP15T's, MP15DC's, GP15T's, GP38's, Road Slugs, SD40-2's, SD38's, SD38-2's, GP38-2's, BQ23-7's, B23-7's, U23B's, GP30M's, GP39's, GP39-2's, SD40's, B30-7's, B36-7's, B40-8's, GP40-2's, GP40's, C30-7's, C40-8's, C40-8W's, SD50's, SD60's, SD60I's, SD45-2's, C44-9W's, SD70MAC's, SD80MAC's, B23-7A's, SD60M's, SD70M's, F40PH-2's, GP15's, B23-7R's, GP60's, MT-4's, MT-6's, C39-8's, C36-7's, C30-7A's, SW1001's, AC4400CW's, AC6000CW's, Slug Sets, SD70ACE's, SD70ACE-T4's, SD50-2's, SD50-3's, ES44AC's, ES44DC's, ET44AH's, ET44AC's, SD33ECO's, SD70ACC's, CW46AH's, CW46AC's, AC60CW's, ET23DCM's, SD40-3's, CM44AC's, Genset Switcher's, GP35's, GP15's, ES46AC's, CM44AH's, 3GS-21B's, B20-8's, ST70AH's, SD70MACE's, GP40WH-2's, C40-9W's, GP38-3's, CM40-8's, C60AC's, SD40E3's, ES44AH's, CW44CWM, ES40DC's, and GP40-3's with the same freight equipment like TSC has.

    I'd really would love to see this route be made for TSW 5.

    There are two Virtual Railfan cams one is at Waycross and one cam in Folkston Georgia and I always like these American TSW suggestions

    This route is in Run 8 and quite nice, the main problem being the limited scenery implementation. The route author very much set it up as an avenue of trees with virtually nothing more than a few hundred metres from the track.
