    Here's a portion of Union Pacific's Evanston Sub yet to be created for TSW 5. It would go from Green River to Altamont. The route is over 89.7 miles. I suggested 89.7 miles because 175 miles is too long. It would be set in the 1930's-1940's-1950's-1960's-1970's-1980's-1990's-2000's-2010's-2020's-present day. The Union Pacific rolling stock would include MT-1 Class 4-8-2's, 9000 Class 4-12-2's, Big Boy's including the 4041, Challenger's including the 3985, FEF 4-8-4's including the 844, S Class 0-6-0's, S-Spl- Class 0-6-0's, ML-Spl Class 2-8-2's, MK Class 2-8-2's, T Class 4-6-0's, T-57 Class 4-6-0's, P-Class 4-6-2's, P-2 Class 4-6-2's, TTT Class 2-10-2's, MC-Class 2-8-8-2's, MC-Class-2-8-8-0 "Bull Moose"s, C-2 Class 2-8-0's, M Class 2-6-0's, FFT Class 4-10-2's, A Class 4-4-2's, DS-4-4-1000's, GTEL's, E-Unit's, F-Unit's GP7's, GP9's, GP9B's, SD7's, SD9's, Alco PA's, Steam Turbine's, Baldwin Centipede's, SW1500's, U28C's, U30C's, U50's, U50C's, SD24's, SD24's, GP20's, GP30's, GP30B's, GP35's, DD35's, DD35A's, Alco C855's, Alco C855B's, Alco RS2's, Alco RS27's, Alco C424's, Alco C630's, Alco RSC2's, FM Erie-Built's, VO-1000's, U25B's, AS-616's, S-4's, SW7's, SW9's, DD40AX's, SD45's, NW2's, SDP35's, C30-7's, C36-7's, H10-44's, H15-44's, H16-44's, H20-44's, GE 44 Ton's, Alco FA's, SD40N's, GP40X's, SD40's, SD40-2's, GP40-2's, GP38-2's, GP38N's, GP39N's, GP40N's, GP40-2N's, SD60M's, SD59MX's, GP60's, GP62's, GP15-1's, GP15N's, SD39's, SD9043MAC's, SD90MAC-H's, SD90MAC's, SD50's, SD60's, SD62's, C40-8's, C40-8W's, C41-8W's, C44-9W's, SD40T-2's, SD70ACE's, C45ACCTE's, C45AH's, AC4400CW's, SD70M's, ES44AC's, ET44AC's, AC6000CW's, Genset Switcher's, C4460AC's, C44ACM's, 3GS-21B's, SD70AH-T4's, GP22-T4's, SD70ACE-T4's, SD70AH's, C44AC's, C60AC's, Heritage Unit's, Special Unit's, GP60E's, SW10's, MP15DC's, FLXDrive's, AC4460CW's, SD60E's, SD62E's, SD32ECO's, Auxiliary Water Tender's, M1000's, M10001's, M10002's, M10003's, M10004's, M10005's, and M10006's with the same freight and passenger equipment like Pacific Fruit Express boxcars, Office Car Specials, NASA Rocket Booster Trains, snowplow's, Track Geometry Trains, Track Inspection Car's, etc like TSC has. The Amtrak rolling stock would also include E-Unit's, F-Unit's, SDP40's, and F40PH's with the same passenger equipment like TSC has. This route would be awesome with the giant locos like Boy Boy's, Challenger's, 9000 Class 4-12-2's, MC Class 2-8-8-0 "Bull Moose" FEF 4-8-4's, U50's, U50C's, DD35's, DD35's, and DD40AX's among others.

    The route sounds awesome with the giant UP locos and well as modern locos too.

    That's... a huge variety.
    Could you narrow it down a bit?
    Are there any landmarks or destinations in particular of interest on the route?
    Do you have a map of it to show where it goes?
    Is it passenger or freight?
    If the latter, what are the products and industries for them?
    What liveries/company licenses would be required?
    Is there any crossover between this and other routes?
    For example could the existing Union Pacific AC44400 or SD-40-2 or SD2070 be used? Or other locos like the GP-38 in UP liveries or the F40PH?
    If any rolling stock needs to be created (freight loads, locos, etc) could that be reused for other routes to increase value?
    (for example if there's a cool unique cargo load like rocket boosters or a track inspection car, could it go on any other routes as swap ins or layers or in the creator?)

    Yes, it was freight and passenger at once, now it's freight only.

    Union Pacific uses Armour yellow. The same freight rolling stock for Union Pacific for would be for other routes. This is the route of the Transcontinental Railroad. Yes, the UP AC440CW's, SD40-2's, SD70 Series, GP38's in UP liveries, and F40PH's for Amtrak could be for this route. Yes, the Rocket Booster Trains and track inspection cars would be on other UP routes. I'm not sure if there's landmarks and crossovers on this route. Yes, the freight loads, locos, etc would be reused on other UP routes to increase value. The products later would include coal, soda ash, fertilizer, cement, miscellaneous materials, stone, gravel, Sulphur, industrial chemicals, crude oil, ethanol, petroleum products, LPG, sand, drilling-related products, sugar beets, corn, wheat, lumber, panel products, metals, ores, paper, waste, military shipments, machinery and oversized dimensional freight like wind turbines and rocket boosters for them. The industrials later would also include maintenance, repair, freight, logisticso, energy, mineral extraction, manufacturing, and production for them. The Union Pacific license and liveries would be required.

    Its best to ignore the OP, they have a track history of making these large Wishlist like suggestions with little to no info on the route, not to mention they will usually also bump their own thread multiple times after posting.

    I'm surprised he hasn't been banned at this point.
