    This sounds awesome. BNSF, UP, short lines; It's got everything (except maybe Amtrak; pity). I would prefer to see the North Platte-Omaha section of the line with UP's massive Bailey Yard. As for locomotives, I'd also suggest a BNSF SD75M/I, AC4400CW, C40-8W/C41-8W, GP50, GP60 Spartan Cab, GP60B, and/or GP39-3 and UP SD70ACe-T4, C40-8W/C41-8W, SD59MX, SD40N, GP39-2/N, and GP40-2/N.

    Still falls foul of the Class One Railroads point blank refusing to work with DTG as regards any sort of access for research.
