Denver and Rio Grande Western. I'd like to see it back, charging over Tennessee Pass to connect with the MOPAC on their Pueblo-Kansas City line. Never understood why UP decided to abandon that line, since just before that, SP-Rio Grande seemed capable of using it for about twenty to thirty trains per day. But then, I don't understand UP at all. So let's bring back "The Mainline of the Rockies" while Colorado still has some trains running, okay?

CNJ: Wouldn't a SD90MAC in the "Red Baron" scheme with the large Statue of Liberty herald look way cool?
