https://www.csx.com/index.cfm/customers/maps/csx-system-map/ I have already uploaded another thread in past for suggestion for CSX and MARC route from Martinsburg WV, to Washington D.C. . It's around 80 miles I believe but both passenger route and csx route are parallel. The route goes through Harper's Ferry and Point of Rocks 2 large rail fan areas. My last thread I've uploaded youtube videos and photos of the area itself
This route needs at least 4 locomotives: two for CSX freights, one for Amtrak, and one for MARC. For CSX heavy freight, I'd suggest the ES44AH; plus we could get the B&O and Chessie Heritage Units especially (and the rest of the units, too; this route is a former B&O route). The ES44AHs could also be used on the Sand Patch Grade route (also formerly a B&O route). An SD70AC, ET44AH, or CW60AC/AH/ES46AH rebuild would also be cool to see handling heavy freights. Again, these locos are needed for Sand Patch, too. For yard, local, and switching duties on the CSX, I'd suggest a rebuilt locomotive for CSX: either a GP40-3, SD23T4, SD40-3, or GP38-3. These locos too could be run on Sand Patch. For MARC, we need either the MP36PH-3C (in game on Peninsula Corridor, so this would be a simple repaint), or a MARC Siemens SC-44 Charger (my prefered MARC loco), and of course, the coaches and cab cars. Amtrak's Capitol Limited runs on this route, so that train should be included, along with either a P42DC, or preferably, a Siemens ALC-42 Charger.
[QUOTE="jedi247, post: 862298, member: those are very good suggestions thank you. I've been wanting to see the p42dc forever now in tsw, with timelines on other routes like horse shoe curve. Hopefully we see all 4 locos with this route. Im sure they will use csx locos that are already in the game. Also I'm a fan of rebels as well
I live very close to the MARC Brunswick line. I see many CSX, Amtrak, and MARC trains. This game would be so cool to have this line from Martinsburg to DC. Especially in Harpers Ferry with the beautiful landscape and bridge.
