    Need more power to run 50-100 freight cars (UK/Ireland Australia terminology Goods Waggon) the Heavy Horsepower Pack solves that for you for PC and 9th Generation Consoles. 50-60 freight cars (UK Ireland Australia Goods Waggons) 8th generation consoles. In addition to boosting horsepower per ton of selected services that have 3,000 hp diesel locomotives leading them these are Clinchfield CSX-S SD40 SD40-2 GP38-2s both Union Pacific and CSX paint jobs on Steep sections. To expand these locomotives can form 12,000-18,000 horsepower services with a Mid train Dpu consisting of SD70ACE Sherman Hill AC4400CW Sand Patch Grade Sherman Hill layered from Cane Creek. The Heavy Horsepower Pack solves that issue for you.

    Final Thoughts.
    In conculsion Heavy Horsepower Pack with SD90MAC and Union Pacific AC6000CW Paint Scheme Mountain Time Zone Sherman Hill 12,000 hp total. Followed by the Eastern Time Zone Sand Patch Grade CSX AC6000CW SD80MAC 11,000 HP which is the sum of a combined AC6000CW 6,0000hp SD80MAC 5,000 hp. With these locomotives there should be enough power to run their own services and sometimes spawn as a MId train DPU/Helper service to existing services of 50-100 freight cars 9th Generation Xbox Series X PS5 PC Owners. While a 8th Generation Xbox One and PS4 owners get these locomotives in 50-60 freight car set up. Combine these locomotives with existing 4300-4400 hp locmotives SD70ACE AC4400CW long trains will now acend the Steep sections of Sherman Hill and Sand Patch Grade with Ease. In some cases allowing the weaker services that have SD40 GP38-2 SD40-2s 3000hp to climb the steep gradients of Sand Patch Grade and Sherman Hill Coal Intermodal and Manifest by making them 8000-13000hp as long if the consist as SD90MAC AC6000CW and SD80MAC. Wthout the need of copying RRO 15:50 Petroleum uncpoupling freight cars to allow easy accend of Steep sections on weaker 3000hp lead formations. For both Sherman Hill and Sand Patch Grade the Purchase of Heavy Horsepower Pack if made unlocks Giant Power Journey Chapter with Scenarios and Timetable mode. These are Dedicated to SD90MAC UP SD80MAC CSX and AC6000CW in both CSX and UP Paint Jobs. To sum it up these are the reasons to why Heavy Horsepower pack must be made for Train Sim World 2. With TSW3 the heavy horsepower pack gives access to UP services on Cajon Pass

    This is not an SD90MAC with 6000hp. This is the SD9043MAC, which was only delivered with 4300hp due to issues with the 6000hp prime mover, and were never upgraded to the 6000hp motor. The MAC-Hs were the only ones on UPs roster with the 6000hp prime movers, they are the ones in the 8506-8561 range, and are easily distinguishable from the 9043macs due to their notched cabs (Similar to the SD70ACe) and higher mounted ditch lights.

    Add the SD80MACs to NS Horseshoe Curve as well. I'd also like to add a few other pack ideas: UP giant diesel packs.
    -Pack 1: Gas Turbines Pack with all three versions of the UP GTELs plus the Alco/GE prototype
    -Pack 2: UP Alco/GE Giants Pack with Alco C855 A-B-A set, GE U50, and GE U50C
    -Pack 3: UP EMD Giants Pack with DD35, DD35A, and DDA40X Centennial
    -Bonus Pack: UP Steam Turbine
    -Each pack could also include period-specific freight equipment and scenarios for TSW2's UP Sherman Hill Route.
    If we get a Pilbara Iron Ore route for TSW2, the AC6000CWs would be perfect for recreating the longest and heaviest freight train world record.

    The ES44 isn't really considered "High Horsepower" since it only has the standard 4400hp.

    The new 4600HP SD70ACe-T4s have equivalent tractive effort to the older SD90MAC-Hs since the engine (12-1010J) is basically an upgraded version of the 265H engine used in the SD90s. That makes them a possibility for this DLC pack. Plus, UP and CSX both have SD70ACe-T4s. UP calls them SD70AH-T4s; CSX calls them ST70AHs.

    Thank you for telling me about that two of those make a 9200 hp freight train. When combined with AC4400CW SD70ACE rear units the freight train has 18000 horsepower which is equal to 3 AC6000CW SD90MAC or 3 SD80MAC with the rear unit being SD40 SD40-2 GP38-2 3000hp
