The Kuju SD40-2 cab looks worse than ever.

Could be interesting. Would be nice if the signal links all work and markers are longer than 50 feet for this one. CMP has been a total bear to make scenarios for.

Doubt they have no enough resource to make a new one.

Looks like a nice route and plus they made a GP40-2LW, which we don't even have in the sim.
I'm for sure looking out for this !!*ok*!!

I’m excited, both for more Canadian content and also for another CN route specifically. Yellowhead is an interesting route as it’s a mountain railroad without mountain grades. As the article notes the grades don’t really exceed 1%.

An interesting bit of history is that CP actually could have chosen Yellowhead to build the transcontinental railroad but chose Kicking Horse Pass instead. We all know about the grades and challenging mountain railroading that the Kicking Horse and Rogers Passes include. The book I’m reading says CP chosen the more southern route as they thought it would be more competitive with American railroads. I’m Not sure that exactly panned out.

Anyway, looking forward to this, the 80’s is an era that makes me happy. Maybe we finally get some VIA equipment as an addon after the fact? The 1980’s opens up a lot of rolling stock choices that DTG could realistically largely do with models that have already been created.

I like this a scenic CN route to realistically run VIA Rail trains. I to would have been nice to have and Ontario CN route along lake Ontario ( say Toronto to Bellville ) but not as scenic. Found a link to get us in the mood.

As said above, the execution on many of the route elements are what would make this a winner for me. No missing ctc signals at ctc control points and destination markers that don't overlap their signal's 0 link would be a good start.

I’m going to bite my tongue about the complaints and just say I look forward to another route for TS2020.

I mean finally we get a place to run our CN equipment from way back in 2013 and we actually go somewhere on this route (no 20-40 mile jaunt here! !*YAAA*! ). About time. I'd call that a win in my book. !*cheers*!

I agree, Milepost Simulations does good with routes.

It would be nice to see the VIA train, The Canadian #1 or #2 added to this new route. Not sure if we have the VIA locomotives and passenger cars here in the file library. I did not look at the file library yet but I will.

I appreciate your honesty John !*roll-laugh*! There are indeed Via passenger cars and locomotives available.

In the era the route is set in, Train #3 & #4 "The Super Continental" were the VIA service across Yellowhead Pass.
