    The EMD F59PH is a four-axle 3,000 hp (2 MW) B-B diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division from 1988 to 1994. A variant, the F59PHI, was produced from 1994 to 2001. The F59PH was originally built for GO Transit commuter operation in the Toronto region. Metrolink in Southern California also purchased a fleet for its 1992 launch. The streamlined F59PHI was designed for Amtrak California intercity service. A total of 72 F59PH and 83 F59PHI locomotives were built.

    Odd to suggest a loco that we don't even have a route for (Maybe Oakville, but doesn't seem like DTG has a GO License)

    How many they resolved the licensing issues?

    US Passenger wise, let's see:
    -Amtrak (NEC, because of the City Sprinter)
    -Caltrain (Peninsula Corridor)
    -MBTA (Providence Line, aka Boston Sprinter)
    -MTA (Both LIRR and MNR)
    -NJT (from Creators Club)

    Everyone else so far that we know, zilch. Even on Oakville the stations are there, but no GO Transit brand anywhere. Just a few machines in white and green colors, unbranded.

    I would also throw in NJT, as they allowed their stuff on the Creation Club, I would assume they will have a route for TSW2 in the future at some point.

    This is a good point actually. Since there's no route for NJT for now, doesn't mean it's still on DTGs license list. Nearly forgot about that.
