    I would really like more American passenger train routes so here is my suggestion. The trains consist of F125 locos and mp36ph-3c's. The mp36s are like the baby bullet ones just the horn is differently tuned. The cars would be Hyundai Rotem's and Hyundai Rotem cab cars. Bombardier cars have no cab cars; all inbound trains are lead by the Hyundai Rotem cab cars can you also have the sets like 2 hyundai rotems in the front and 2 Bombardiers in the middle and then the cab car also can you make the ability to have 1 special Bombardier like Car 195 the angels coach also can you have also the doors closing sound is like the Lirrs M7 coaches but lower tuned also can you make annoucement like these.Example:The next stop is Pomona-North all station stops are brief Pomona North is our next stop, and when you get close to the stop.Example: our next stop is Pomona North if this is your station please watch your step from the train to the door Pomona North is our next stop.And maybe players can make onboard announcements with their mics if they want anyways moving on. BNSF: They are mostly ES44DC's that lead the trains but also the ES44AC,ET44C4 . They are known as Daygo's and often go to Kaiser yard. There is some switchers like GP38s and Gp60s and the BNSF 3GS-[​IMG]21B [​IMG] which are not far from San Bernardino in the yard there can also be Pasadena locals that go from Kaiser yard-Pomona. There are also some major places like the LA Union Station, LA river,El Monte Swapmeet, the Rio Hondo River, the Fontana Nascar Raceway and the San Bernardino intermodal yard The stops are a total of 14(including LA) Cal state la, El Monte, Baldwin park, Covina, Pomona-North, Claremont, Montclair, Upland, Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana, Rialto, San Bernardino Depot, and San Bernardino-Downtown. The line in miles is about 60 miles long considering Sherman hill which is pretty long I think this would be great. track speed is 79 mph 30-20 mph in the depot and 10 mph in the downtown station.DLC's:The DLC's would be for metrolink and bnsf. For Metrolink they used the F59PH and F59PHI's they have backup horns which are Nathan K5LA's if you could make that as horn 2 that would be awesome,other dlc for BNSF could include SD70ACE/SD70ACEP4,,SD70MAC,C44-9W,AC4400CW,AC44C4M, And SD60M . Horns:the F125s use a differently tuned Nathan K2, F125s 929 and 926 have backup horns, 929 uses a Nathan K3L (Canadian tuned),and 926 uses a K3L but American Tuned so if you can put the canadian one as horn 2 on all of these f125s that would be great The mp36s horn uses a P2 but differently tuned the F59s use also P2s but like Caltrain's, the ES44DC's use a K5HL. The Hyundai rotems use a regular K2 .Train Times:Metrolink labels their trains by using a M. The weekdays inbound and outbound trains are frequent and come in a hour, I would tell you the weekend services but I dont want to bore you , you check it out at metrolink just search metrolink and it will show but all services in total it is 55 Metrolink services (including weekend) add Atleast 4 power moves, 50 switching jobs 30 for intermodal yard and 20 for kaiser,and 10 Daygo's and 5 pasadena locals Thats 124 services in Total.Conclusion:So Thats all the info about this line I hope you can make this a dream come true for me Thank You.

    I'd rather have a BNSF GP60 instead of the GP38-2. The other possible locos are a BNSF GEVO (ES44AC/DC/C4 or ET44C4), and Metrolink F125 and Cab Car. A BNSF 3GS-21B Genset could be great for LA switching ops. Other possible DLC locos: SD70ACe/SD70ACeP4, SD70MAC, C44-9W, AC4400CW, AC44C4M, or SD60M.

    I'd like to add the new SD70ACeP4-T4 and SD75M/I to my list.
