    So we all know tsw has many US routes, but there is one that I feel would be really fun to have. the seattle sounder/cascades from lakewood to seattle. knowing this is the area where I railfan, I just thought it would be fun to have a route through the beautiful cascades.

    How long is this route? What services can we expect? What units and operators

    40.4 miles. Sound tansit/maybe amtrak cascades...bt I dont really expect cascades, but I thought they could just keep the baby bullet, and a possible F59PHI and put them in the sounder livery

    For BNSF, I'd suggest a C44-9W or ET44C4 and/or GP60/GP60M/GP60B. The Cascades uses Siemens Chargers, so that's a must. The Cascades uses cab cars and NPCUs, so those need to be included. For the Seattle Sounder consists, we need EMD F59PHIs and MP40PH-3Cs and the same bi-level commuter cars as the Peninsula Corridor route.

    i mean, that would be nice, but theres no talgos...and the BNSF stuff checks out, even for timetable., because I would love to take the H-EVEROO trash train
