For purposes of Train Simulator, you drive two different Burlington Northern Santa Fe diesel-electric locomotives to deliver boxcars, haul freight, and complete other runs through the mountains of Montana. Trains carrying coal and freight share this route with Amtrak passenger trains. It serves as a main freight link between the Midwest and the West Coast. Maria's Pass is significant because it is the lowest pass through the Rocky Mountains north of New Mexico. The only flaw I found on this route is that there are no posts to hold up the Catenaries (Electric lines) between mile posts 72 and 77.5 but with that as an exception this route is truly fantastic in its own right whether it be a non-stop express, limited local or a mixed car freight run. Apart from the odd deer and some train spotters trespassing on the side of the track there are no other obstacles to get in the way of your journey nor are there level crossings so look out for plenty of bridges and underpasses!! I know that some people would find this route to be boring but I can't think of nothing better than thundering along at 125mph and feeling that sensation of speed and the world just pass by you (or why don't you go into options, uncheck 'Derailments' and ride the Acela up to 170mph!!!). The activities for the NE Corridor are very exciting, ranging from Train Rescue where you have to take an HHP8 from Washington, collect a dead train further up the track and deliver it to BWI Station to the Summer Express where you drive the Acela train set from Washington to Philadelphia with limited stops on the way. The trains which would usually be found here are The Amtrak Acela express train set, Acela HHP8 loco whilst the computer controlled trains you should expect to see is the Genesis AMD103 and the GE E-60-CP. This high-speed line which in MSTS runs between Philadelphia & Washington (in real life it runs between Boston & Washington), is 133 Miles in length, has 11 stations in between the 2 major ones and is a 25Kv AC overhead electrified. Activity for Route: West Coast Express File ID: 36579 Date. Cross City (West Coast Express P2 (Description)) Disponibilit. You should have an easy night as it is a Sunday and there isn’t as much traffic around. Last train of the day! You are to drive one of the brand new Hitachi Super Express trains in a 2 x 5 car formation. Considering the limitations of MSTS then I think the writers did a brilliant job of this long route.Yes there is only passenger activities for the route bu I strongly advise that like me you purchase the Mainline Stock & Activities Collection.
