These are just locos that would be nice to see added to Horseshoe Curve route as DLC or added in with the base route. These probably won't happen but it would be cool. 1. SD40E Not much to say other than it's the staple of the curve. These locos have become synonymous with the helper service on this route. Sure some people might say, "oH nO aNotHEr sD40". But this one is different enough from the normal SD40-2. 2. SD80MAC My personal favorite American locomotive. A beast of an engine that was acquired from the Conrail split. It would be nice to see a some big EMD power. 3. High Hoods NS was truly a unique railroad with their locomotives. One of these oddities was the high hoods on some of their locomotives, left over from the Southern Railroad. It would be cool if Skyhook would add a variant of the GP38-2 or if they did an SD40-2, that would be cool too. 4. GP60 Instead of doing the GP38-2 again, why not do the GP60? It would be a breath of fresh air to see an American road switcher that isn't GP38-2 considering it's in 3 routes now. 5. SD60E In 2013, NS started rolling out their rebuilt SD60E from the Juniata Shops. Another unique loco in NS's roaster. Would be great to see the veterans unit, first responders unit, and go rail unit. Also would die to hear the beautiful Leslie RS5T on these. 6. SD70/SD70ACe/SD70ACu/SD70ACC Any one of the SD70 models would be welcomed in my opinion. 7. D9-40C/D9-44CW/AC44C6M The Dash 9 is NS's most popular locomotive with about 600 or so active today. Also part of the roster is the AC rebuilds that NS has been doing. 8. Conrail pls release a Conrail legends pack. that would be awesome.
If the rumors are right about the Age of Steam pack. They could just have it based during conrail and put the k4 in place of the gp9. So we can get kind of a preview
Bring it on but The problem is Conrail licensing on Skyhook Games end. The Norfolk Southern Dash 9s can serve as Sand Patch Grade CSX 9000-9052 but use the DLC Dash 8 Trucks in European UK Railway terms a Bogie. SD70ACE Norfolk Southern if Skyhook wants that as DLC here they're simply going to Reskin SD70ACE UP Sherman Hill made by DTG. The reason for this is that all US Canada Freight Railroads order the same locomotives and make them compatible with each other via DPU control.
My NS loco ideas: -Admiral Cab SD40-2 -NS Heritage SD70ACes and ES44ACs (especially PRR and Conrail) -SD70ACU (rebuilt SD90MAC) -GP33ECO (rebuilt GP50) -Conrail ideas: -SD45-2 -GP40-2
Conrail is owned by CSX, NS, and (if I correctly remember) Amtrak. Two of the three they already have permission for. They just need NS's permission
According to the CSAO (Conrail Shared Assets Operations) you will still need to contact them about using their logo. However, I do think Norfolk Southern ended up owning the CR reporting marks.
