    Union Pacific was well known for its massive locomotives, such as the Big Boy, Gas Turbine, and DDA40X. They also have a massive freight yard in North Platte, Nebraska, called Bailey Yard, and it's huge. In fact, Bailey Yard is the largest freight yard in the world, at over 8 miles long and over 2 miles wide. If this enormous freight yard is made as a route in TSW3, it could be epic. Perhaps the route could run from North Platte to UP's HQ city of Omaha. I don't know how long the route would be (if anyone knows, let me know in the comments).
    Now, as for locomotives, UP has a large number of SD70Ms, so they could could be a great choice for heavy freight trains. A C45AH (ET44AC) or C45ACCTE (ES44AC) could also be a good second choice for heavy freights. For yard and local operations, the route should include a GP60 (or rebuilt GP62) or a GP40-2 (or rebuilt GP40N). SD40-2s have been overused in TSW3 in my opinion, though they are very common and could be included. I'd prefer a new loco model for this route. Possible DLCs could include an C60AC/C4460AC (UP rebuilt many of them into C44ACMs; basically rebuilt AC4400CWs with CW60AC bodies) and SD70ACe-T4 (an engine I really want in game).
