Hello all. I have decided to do my Final route. Its a fictional railroad that has a story of how it started and how it will once become a Class 1 railroad. This route will be HUGE!
Story:
It is the year 2025. BNSF and NS have merged and so has CSX and UP (they say is possible in the next decade). CN has reached Houston, Texas and Mexico. I'm sure you know about how California is due for a major earthquake? Well it happend in 2018 and distroyed portions of Cajon Pass and Tehachapi. The lines got distroyed and BNSF lost LOTS of money to repair it all. There-for causing the old ATSF (Seligman Sub, Mojave Sub, ect.) from Dallas to Los Angeles to be abandoned to make-up money for the repairs.
The Plan:
One day: There was a man named Chris who belived the west beheld a natural resource that is a soil chemical that could become a very profit-able railroad service to haul the chemical to Los Angeles and Dallas for automobiles due to Oil and Gasoline is economically obsolite seince 2015. This soil chemical lies under the territory of the old ATSF line so the Southwest Pacific was founded and bought off many former NS and UP rollingstock from the mergers to start. The Southwest Pacific is new and is planning to be the next Class 1 railroad to run the southwest over BNSF so the sessions each play as a part of a story line starting with former units to the newly painted scemes as the story against BNSF and KCS continues.
Other Railroads:
As for other railroads involved on the line: Amtrak lost so much money after the Concord became servicable on US airways so they run only 5 trains across the US and NEC. Southwest Pacific and Commuter Railroads will have passenger. Metrolink extended to Victorville on the SWP now that its geographically closer due to the 8.9 Earthquake. The SWP and CSX interchange at Dallas and CN at Houston. The Tehachapi Loop survived and SWP took it because the fault split during the quake setting BNSF and SWP on the opposite sides of the fault. Just the ground is deformed near San Andreas fault where Cajon and Tehachapi really run today.
Motive Power:
The SD40-2 and GP series are retired from Class 1 railroads. Now the SD70M-2, SD70ACe, GEVOs, and Green Goats are running 90% of CSX, BNSF, and CN.
The Line Itself:
Southwest Pacific runs from Dallas, Texas to Los Angeles/ Long Beach, California running across the southwest thru cities such as (East to West) Dallas, Arlington, El Paso, Rosewell, Santa Fe, Pheonix, Seligman, Kingman, Amboy, Victorville (Barstow is for BNSF only), Mojave, Tehachapi, Bakersfield, Los Angeles, and ending in Long Beach. The SWP does have trackage rights from Dallas to Houston on the CSX Houston Sub to their interchange on CN at the former UP Eureka Yard. Also: there is a branch-line from Diablo Jct to South Las Vegas for plans of the final coal minings at Las Vegas's Ghost Rock Mine. Note about the line in Arlington to Roswell was once the line of the failed MoPac Lone Star Division that failed with ATSF's contract back in 1981.
Preveiw:
The line is now dormant put is only days away from re-activating to the Southwest Pacific Railroad! -Chris
