Engines Wishlist for Jointed Rail.

I would love to see both the passenger and freight versions of the ONLY 6 ever built GE U30CG's. They were all originally for passenger service but then repainted and renumbered for freight service. Super unique locos. Check them out here:

Since you've already done ALL of the NS Heritage units, you may want to add the unofficial "21st Heritage NS Unit". It's a beautiful loco too!

No research? That is a heritage unit for the Norfolk and Portsmouth Belt Line, not NS... the NPBL is owned by NS (majority) and CSX (minority), I know tons about it because I live down the street from it...

One last thing, the corporate watermark says "Norfolk and Portsmouth Belt Line Railroad Co."

Regardless, it'd be a nice addition.


Norfolk Southern's paint shop in Chattanooga has rolled out what could be dubbed as the "21st Heritage Unit": Norfolk Portsmouth Belt Line GP38-2 #5260. NPBL is jointly owned by NS and CSX and serves the Norfolk/Chesapeake/Portsmouth, Virginia areas. Years ago, their switchers were painted in this scheme, but in recent times they have used locomotives leased from NS, painted solid black with block "NPBL" initials on the sides. 5260 was built as Penn Central 8044 in 1973, and later became Conrail 8044, then NS 5260.

Anyone here have any thoughts, input, or opinions about the engines I suggested? Posts #541, #549, and #549? Idk about anyone else here, but I really seem to love the U30CG's I posted. So very rare and so unique-looking. And the fact that all six were repainted and then reassigned to freight service just makes the original 6 made turn into 12 for Trainz! :) I'd really like to hear others' input on my suggestions. Yay? Nay? Maybe? Thanks!
 
Is it possible for the amazing artists at JR to take the base models of their AC44, ES44 and SD90MAC and, with a few changes to cab and wheel sets, paint these babies up in Canadian Pacific colors?
The UP, BNSF, CSX and NS versions of these locomotives are outstanding but I and, I'm sure several other engineers in the Trainz Universe would love to see some CP locos coming down the track.
Again, thanks for these incredible creations and thanks for the hard work.

Check these out! CN SD40-2W 5261 SD40-2W 5258 and CNW 1??? Anyone know the deal with this car? EDIT: Liquefied Petroleum Gas in the tank car and the engines are modified to use that as fuel. Very cool!
