    Although a CSX DLC locomotive (Dash_-8) is already on the Roadmap, there's still a possibility to add more in the future. GE Evolution (GEVOs, ES-44s) are some of the most frequent locomotives on US rails. Addition of this locomotive could be combined with a little speciality - CSX currently had three GEVOs with special "Pride In Service" liveries.

    The DLC could contain these three liveries along with some classic (all locos are in normal use) and special (parade) scenarios. One very nice inspiration could also come from model producers (ScaleTrains for example) giving part of the revenue (the price they'd pay for license fees as agreed with CSX) to charities mentioned on the engines. This way we could get a very popular locomotive with extremely unique liveries, while also supporting charity, which would make this DLC the first of its kind.

    (my attempt at the liveries, 300 shapes are definitely not enough though :D )

    These engines look great. I also want the UP SD70ACe Heritage/Military units and later, the NS SD70ACes and ES44ACs. A few other railroads (Amtrak for example) roster heritage units as well. BNSF just did one with the logos of the railroads that merged to create BNSF.

    The 25th Anniversary BNSF engines are epic, but BNSF is very unlikely with their licensing policies. You can't have their logos in virtual products outside the USA (maybe Canada, not sure about that).

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but CN does not exactly have a plethora of heritage units, let alone GP38-2s and GP9s.

    They have been spotted, but not officially announced yet.

    Now that is a big addition to their variety right there.

    Interesting how the others are "covered' but the GTW unit is not.

    I'm just guessing here, but the GTW one is probably already in service for some time, the ET44s are brand new, yet to be shown to the public.

    Nope, it came by me on CSX from Dansville, NY. Then was transferred to the CN in Buffalo, then up to Toronto. Never seen before, or after.
