Hi everyone and welcome back to anpther Route Suggestion. Today we're gonna be talking about why Wasatch Grade should be added to TSW2. Steam just came out so this would be a good time to write about this thread because the most suitable date for this route should be in the 1940s and 50s. I also just wanted to say that it's been a long time since we've talked about a US Route. I just had to cover a new US Route Suggestion eventually because you guys were probably missing my US Route Suggestion threads. Other than that, I'm back to doing US Route Suggestions. With all that out the way, let's get right into it. Route infomation Wasatch Grade in the 1940s and 50s is a route where the worlds most large locomotives mainly run. The route itself is about 76 miles and runs between Ogden and Evanston in Utah. Loco info BIG BOY The Union Pacific Big Boy is the worlds largest locomotive in the world. This would be the hardest locomotive to add to the game, but I'm just gonna put it there anyways. Manufacturer: American Locomtive Company (ALCO) Build date: 1941-1944 Rebuilt: 2019 (4014 only) Length: 132 ft Top speed: 80mph Horse Power: 6,000 Numbered: 4000-4024 CHALLENGER The Union Pacific Challenger is really similar to the Big Boy, however its cowcatcher is a bit shorter and has got a logo underneath the line on the front of the boiler which says Union Pacific and its number plate. There is 5 different versions, but I just wanna see the newest version. Manufacturer: American Locomtive Company (ALCO) Build date: 1936-1943 Rebuilt: 1981 (3985 only) Length: 122 ft Top speed: 70mph Horse Power: (unknown) Numbered 4-6-6-4: 3975-3999 Turbine Manufacturer: Alco-GE Build date: 1952-1961 Length: 80 ft Top speed: 65mph Horse Power: 8,500 Numbered: 1-30 F7 This locomotive is already in TSW2 exept it's in Clinchfield livery, but this one has to be in Union Pacific Livery. Manufacturer: Electro Motive Division Build date: 1949-1953 Length: 50 ft Top speed: 65mph Horse Power: 1,100 Numbered: (Unknown) Conclusion Thank you guys so much for listening to this thread. If you have any questions or corrections on mistakes in the thread, feel free to reply and let me know. Other than that, first US Route Suggestion in 2022. I've enjoyed writing this information down while doing this thread and I'll see you in the next thread.
