The route brings to life the remarkable locations and features of the Feather River Canyon, Mills, as well as the trackage of the lumber-hauling Quincy Railroad short line. Train Simulators Feather River Canyon route recreates the dramatic Western Pacific main lineįrom Oroville to Quincy Junction, California, as it existed in the late 1960s and early 1970sĪnd the route also includes a segment of the Inside Gateway (Western Pacifics importantĬonnection with the Great Northern and later Burlington Northern) from Keddie to Crescent Sierra Nevada Mountains with an eastbound ruling grade of 1 percent. Result, the Western Pacific was constructed to exceptional engineering standards thatįeatured numerous high trestles, bridges, and tunnels, and a routing that topped the rugged To the San Francisco Bay Area until 1903, and its final spike was not driven until 1909. The Western Pacific was a late comer toĪmericas railroad scene – WP was not incorporated to build its main line from Salt Lake City
Western Pacifics Feather River Canyon route is one of the most famous, scenic, and highly-Įngineered railroad lines in all of North America.

Train Simulator’s Steam Workshop scenarios are free and easy to download, adding many more hours of exciting gameplay. More scenarios are available on Steam Workshop online and in-game. Also included are scenarios specifically for the Donner Pass route (available separately and required to play these scenarios). The locomotive is also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive the EMD GP20 on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train Simulator, such as those available through Steam. The EMD GP20 for Train Simulator, developed by Reppo, is available in Southern Pacific livery and features a highly detailed cab interior with operating switches, advanced and standard driving controls, realistic engine start up procedure, accurately modelled simulation, engine overheating and working unit selector. However, some can still be seen on short lines today with two models officially preserved. Many of the locomotives served reliably for more than 30 years but were less promising for rebuild programmes than other GP classes, and most were scrapped. Of the 260 models built by General Motors’ Electro-Motive Division between November 1959 and April 1962, Southern Pacific operated 34 locomotives and also took ownership of the four demonstrators originally used by EMD. GP20s could be identified ahead of similar GP7, GP9 and GP18 models by an additional small radiator fan ahead of its large aft fan, the prominent bulge behind the cab which housed its turbocharger, and a single large exhaust stack. In reality, the GP20 only offered a small increase in horsepower over its predecessor, the GP18, but EMD’s salesmen touted the locomotive’s ability to reduce consist sizes and maintenance costs, and increase speeds to secure sales. The EMD GP20 was seen as leading the way in a new age of turbocharged diesel locomotives, even though some of EMD’s competitors had been experimenting with higher horsepower models several years earlier. Об игреThe second generation EMD GP20 ushered in a new era of turbocharged locomotives on American railroads, and now this 2,000hp heavy freight hauler is available for Train Simulator in Southern Pacific livery.
