    Yeah. I'm the first to even bring this up. I have no idea where the hell in Maryland this thing actually travels, but I know that Train Simulator 2022 needs this locomotive. Dovetail Games would have to be crazy and nuts to not include this locomotive in it's collection. Who wouldn't want to operate this Steam legend? This literally an awesome railroad excursion in of itself. This could be included in the B&O Mountain Subdivision along with the Chessie System, Western Maryland, and B&O Operations that take place on the route. While there are steep grades on the route, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have too much difficulty on the route.
