    Since DTG is releasing BNSF routes worldwide now (an exciting announcement), I'd like to suggest a few new route and loco suggestions for next year and beyond. These routes and locos could also be added to TSW2 (so this suggestion is for both games).

    Possible Routes:
    -BNSF/UP Powder River Basin:
    -A coal-hauling route in Wyoming with heavy trains
    -Loco suggestions for: UP SD70M, BNSF/ex-BN SD70MAC, BNSF/ex-ATSF SD75M/I, ES44AC (both liveries), UP ET44AC, BNSF ET44C4, BNSF ES44DC or ES44C4, SD70ACe/SD70ACe-T4 (both liveries), GP60 (both liveries), C44-9W (both liveries), AC4400CW (both liveries), UP AC6000CW/CW4460AC

    -BNSF Seligman Sub:
    -Long, fast freights (70MPH) in the deserts of southern California and northern Arizona between Needles, CA, and Winslow, AZ
    -Entire route is about 300 miles so it would have to be shortened
    -Lots of historical stuff including Route 66 and the Grand Canyon Railway in Williams, AZ
    -3 different versions: Modern (BNSF between 1995 and present; ATSF 1970s-1995; ATSF 1950s-60s)
    -Loco suggestions for modern version: ET44C4, ES44AC/DC/C4, C44-9W/AC44C4M rebuild, SD70ACe-T4, SD40-2, SD70MAC, SD70ACe, SD70ACeP4-T4, GP60, GP50, GP38-2/GP39-2, SD75M/I, P42DC Genesis for Southwest Chief passenger train
    -Locos for ATSF 1970s-1995: SD45, SD45-2, C40-8/C40-8W, C44-9W, B40-8/B40-8W, SD40-2, GP50, GP60, GP38-2/GP39-2, SD60M, U30C, B23-7, C30-7, Amtrak F40PH, P32-8BWH, or P40DC Genesis
    -Locos for vintage ATSF version: FT, F3, or F7 A/B in both freight and passenger liveries (and include Super Chief consist), GP7/9, SD24, GP20, GP30, GP35, Alco RSD15, Alco PA-1 A/B, E6 or E8 A/B, FM H-12-44, FM H-16-44, NW2

    -Other loco ideas:
    -ATSF #3751 4-8-4
    -ATSF #2926 4-8-4
    -BNSF 3GS-21B Genset for Cajon Pass Route
    -ATSF Hudsons (including the "Blue Goose")

    I'm going to take a wild guess here. They are probably going to re-release what's there for now, port some to TSW2, and then maybe have an exclusive one there. Whether we get a new one here remains to be seen, but I think DTM is now working on a new one.
