    The new Tehachapi Pass route is set in the modern day. I would like to see a pair of classic Tehachapi Pass 1950s-era loco packs, each with four or five engines.

    -Southern Pacific Tehachapi Loco Pack:
    -SP SD7/SD9 in Black Widow livery
    -SP FP7A/F7B in Black Widow livery
    -SP Cab Forward (Updated from previous model)
    -SP FM H-12-44 or NW2
    -SP Alco PA/PB or E7 A/B with overnight Owl passenger consist

    -Santa Fe Tehachapi Loco Pack:
    -ATSF FT, F3, or F7 A/B in Blue/Yellow freight liveries
    -ATSF F7 A/B in Warbonnet livery
    -ATSF GP7/9
    -ATSF FM H-12-44 or NW2
    -ATSF 5011-Class 2-10-4 Texas

    I think you mean "Retro Pack" as Retro Packs are basically TS Content packs that have Pre-Modern era content in them. Such as the B&O Mountain Sub Retro Pack, WM Retro Pack, and Chessie System Retro Pack.

    And also, GP9s from Santa Fe were very rare and slightly underpowered, which is why you mostly see a mix of various Dash 2s and Dash 8s. GP60Ms and GP60Bs are also fairly common. SD45s, SD45-2s, U36Cs, U33Cs, U36Cs, B30-7s, C30-7s, GP38-2s, SD40-2s, B40-8Ws, C40-8Ws, C40-8s, SD45T-2s, and SD40T-2s were also very common as well. SD9s and SD9Es may have been seen quite a few times, but most F-Units were already replaced by the units I just mentioned. SP Cab Forward being on Tehachapi Pass is definitely correct.

    The units you just mentioned are from the 60's, 70's, 80's, and even 90's for a few. The original suggestion is meant to be a mid 50's pack, which is why the GP9 is included.

    The Santa Fe F units are on RWA as repaints.

    Typically, the 80s and 90s is where you see the most Tehachapi Pass action.

    But that's not the point of this recommendation. The title is literally SP ATSF 1950s dlc packs.
