    More or less just re posting this here for those without Facebook, but HIS and DTM both posted new photos of the ATSF pack today, however, doesn't look like anything new in any of the photos.

    To think this pack should've have a release date or be in the 3 months range by now, but nope it ain't even close. Gonna be not surprised if its pretty much a TSW6 dlc before the end of the year at this point.

    It was slated for TSW 5. At this point, I'm curious as to which will show up faster. Tadami Line, HIS's ATSF pack, or GTA 6...

    It's a stretch, and a long one at that, but the possibility of them showing in TSW 7 is never off the table either lol.

    What about the elusive DB 420? That was on the roadmap back during TSW2 days

    Despite it was removed from the roadmap due to lack of updated progress, and since Frankfurt S-Bahn was released still not much being said about the 420 progress until then.

    Like I said, I be not surprised if the ATSF pack is released before the end of the year (or early next year at this point, who knows) if it's still gonna be sitting on the tbc section of the roadmap without any actual news to discuss.

    And continuing the point, new images from HIS's Facebook. Yet still nothing new.

    (Note: While there is a white tanker in a screenshot, it's unfortunately a custom skin and not part of the pack)

    The white tank cars are new, but that's about it.

    EDIT: Apparently they were custom skins, and are not a part of the pack.

    Not really a good look from a dev when they have content not related to the pack in their images....

    I hope the number lights for both the locomotives actually work. They don’t seem to be on in the first pic.

    Feels pointless to post these, but gonna do it anyways
    536271924_1334231328709831_9210138614685617920_n.jpg 536278164_1334230992043198_4645699864555587837_n.jpg

    (But only cause the post mentions the C41-8Ws (they ain't that much different anyways, just a bit of horsepower and that's about it) which would be awkward if those numbers are included since only 25 were rebuilt)

    Pretty sure other devs have also did it before, it just helps to flesh out the photos a bit more

    It would be nice if they included UPs C41-8Ws, but then it wouldn't be an ATSF pack....

    So, from the road map screen from the direct, the ATSF pack has now moved into the 0-3 month range, so it should be expected by the end of the year.

    So it seems like HIS have been working on their route in the background, and have a locomotive project going on as well...

    EDIT also decided to just turn this thread into a general HIS discussion thread for the future.

    It's been so long since American cargo shipping has happened that you'll be running around screaming for joy when it releases.

    Depends, HIS has a mixed reputation on TSC from their past offerings, so we'll see if how they fare
