    Here's another North American narrow gauge tourist railroad yet to be created for TSW 5. It would go from Chama to Antonito. The route is over 64 miles. It would be set in the present day. The C&TSCRR rolling stock would include K-27 Class 2-8-2's, K-36 Class 2-8-2's, K-37 Class 2-8-2's, T-12 Class 4-6-0's, C-18 Class 2-8-0's, and GE 47's with passenger and freight equipment.

    This route would be awesome with the massive K-27 2-8-2's, K-36 2-8-2's, and K-37 Class 2-8-2's along with T-12 Class 4-6-0's, C-18 Class 2-8-0's, and GE 47's.

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

    Two issues.

    1. Yet to be confirmed but as per the thread in General, appears DTG may have gone cold on the idea of further steam routes due to poor sales of SoS and Peak Forest.

    2. If memory serves me correct this route has a very limited tourist service so not much scope for comprehensive timetable or scenarios. Need to consider how the proposal fits with DTG’s “LAMP” process for viable route projects.
