looking amazing!

So this means that there are two versions of the PLE now.
A freeware and a Payware. This will be interesting.

How so?

Also on a side note I'm surprised there hasn't been more discussion or comments on this route yet.

OKAY I'LL start. I wonder what locomotives will come with this route?

[DrewG]

Es44 seems to be the standard now for freight routes.

[buzz456]

From some of the previews it would seem that this will be included. SD70M-2

[Haystack]

There's also a Dash 9 in one of the shots, so maybe there will be a Dash 9 update coming soon as well?

Im thinking it will include the ES44 along with either the M-2 or the C44-9W

I'm not sure of a dash9. If you look closely, there doesn't appear to be anything different with it. Just my opinion

I don't mean a whole new model, I just mean key features like the new braking feature, new physics, and whatever else they've improved since they released the Dash 9. Maybe a new interior if we're lucky. Again just a speculation.

You are talking like these railroads are one and the same. Here's a couple of route maps.

Being from this area of Southwestern Pa. I am looking forward to this route. The MGA line has been one of my top 5 routes I love to see. The interesting part is the actual areas of Waynesburgh and the mines in the area and the rich history that is out there. I will hopefully like this route as much as the great Montour which Rich.S. has done a excellent job of representing a coal hauling railroad that was very rich in history and great operation. The Montour basically ran through my back yard in Bethel Park Pa.
My opinion the NS Mon line would be better off being the old Monongahela railroad (MGY) Using to old alco S2, Baldwin Sharks, Recycled P&LE GP7's, the old heavy weight GP38 and B23-7s. Also during the more modern times MGY the B23-7 would be head ending trains from Detroit Edison and others that did run through from Conrail and P&LE.

I'm looking forward to this route more than any other offered so far. Unlike every other, which I waited for a sale to buy, I'll be getting this one when released.

I'll have to agree with this, It'll be the first dlc I buy when it first comes out.
