The route could be done in two versions, 1950s version or a 1960s - 1970s version. I'll enter each version in their own post on this thread
1950's Version Locomotives Locomotives could include the Western Maryland I class 2-10-0's, the H class 2-8-0's, and EMD F-Unit's. Western Maryland I class Decapod Western Maryland H class Consolidation Western Maryland F-Unit Scenarios Various Scenarios can include coal drags and heavy manifests with the I class Decapods. Manifests, light coal trains, and yard work. The F units could get Manifest, light coal duties, and yard work as well.

Good write up on this. I would love to see some vintage era routes and locos added into the game at some point.
No thanks. I'd rather Dovetail Games puts their money into investing an extension for their already-existing Sand Patch Grade to have it go to Connellsville, PA because there's no way you can have a [logical] passenger run or even a complete freight run on it since Connellsville is the next station west of Cumberland, MD and is also a crew change point for freight trains, not Rockwood, PA.
