Nice and useful!

Hopefully, the DRGW GP40-2 will have the correct headlights and snowplow.

Sounds great....

Western Pacific GP40
Roper Yard - Western Pacific RR eastern terminus with rail partner DRGW

Those two alone will make this an add for me.

What it doesn’t say is if this is a separate route, or a “replacement“ of the existing route with all the new stuff. I didn’t get a sense of which exactly we were getting.

More work for us at Searchlight. Sweet.
Gotta ask, what makes this GP40-2 so "landmark"? I'm fairly certain the standard that it'll be held against is RRMods' UP one.

Treatment of this extension will be the same as previously used (Morristown Lines extension of NJCL; Gilroy extension of Peninsula route, etc.)

I smell marketplace DLC. It's been quite a while since I've seen the same loco in different railroad liveries all in one pack...

Certainly going to open up a lot of repaint opportunities!

Extension to Salt Lake City? I might as well plan an extension to Green River, UT, then Grand Junction, and maybe another route to Denver.
Though it would be cool if a payware developer did the East half of the DRGW (Moffat Line)

Some had Mars lights, others Gyra lights and the ex Conrail ones had non on the nose.
Hopefully they do it with a Mars/Gyra on the nose and a good plow.
I can't wait to hook these up to some tunnel motors and GP30s and go up Tennessee Pass.
Frontrunner in the file library now!

I see it is listing an 86 foot boxcar in the pack. I am curious to know if it is the same mesh as the one in the high hood NS pack,or a new one. I hope to see more screenshots,soon.

Likely a reskin of the 86ft one.
