Milepost Simulations now brings Colorado’s legendary Alpine Tunnel Route through the Rockies to Train Simulator Classic!

Now, the Alpine Tunnel route, as originally built by the fabled Denver South Park and Pacific and operated by the Colorado & Southern, comes to Train Simulator Classic!

Created for Train Simulator Classic by acclaimed developer Milepost Simulations, the C&S Alpine Tunnel route extends from St. Elmo to Pitkin, Colorado, a distance of around 22 miles, and re-creates a portion of Colorado & Southern’s Gunnison Division during the period 1905-1910.

Narrow-gauge railroading in the Colorado Rockies has always had appeal that bordered on the mystical. To climb up and over the Colorado Rockies via Alpine Tunnel, grades of 3 and 4 percent were the norm, along with a twisting path that included multiple horseshoe curves and treacherous paths set to the very edge of towering cliffs. Most noted of all was the “Palisades,” a stone wall and embankment constructed to support the line as it clung to a vertical stone face. Such was the challenge of the railroad that it frequently required three or even four locomotives to power even a modest freight.

Constructed by the Denver, South Park, and Pacific (DSP&P) during 1880-1882, the railroad would endure the financial difficulties so common to Colorado narrow-gauge lines, becoming the Denver, Leadville, and Gunnison (DL&G) in 1889, falling under the control of Union Pacific in 1894, and finally included in the new Colorado & Southern in 1899.

At Alpine Tunnel, the railroad operated an engine house with enclosed turntable as well as a small depot. More than 1,700 feet in length, Alpine Tunnel also boasted of lengthy wood snow sheds at each portal. Never rich in traffic, the line hauled coal and mixed tonnage as well as passengers, often using mixed trains to serve both. In time though, the route proved simply too tough and too brutal to operate, and it was often closed during winter and other periods. A cave-in at Alpine Tunnel in 1910 was the final straw and the railroad ceased operation.

As created for Train Simulator Classic, the C&S Alpine Tunnel route brings to life the railroad’s handsome Baldwin-built 2-8-0 Consolidations (originally constructed for the Denver, Leadville, and Gunnison), and includes a captivating roster of nine types of narrow-gauge freight and passenger equipment. The route beautifully replicates the magnificent Colorado mountain scenery of the region and includes yards, servicing facilities, stations, and lineside mines and structures.

A selection of nine career scenarios deliver the realistic – and exceptionally challenging – experiences of serving as engineer to battle Colorado’s unforgiving yet majestic mountains.

Milepost Simulations’ Alpine Tunnel route for Train Simulator Classic takes you back to one of railroading’s most remarkable and memorable eras – and brings you the full experience of steam-era railroading in the extraordinary Colorado Rockies! The C&S Alpine Tunnel: St. Elmo to Pitkin Route is available now at the Steam Store!

Now available from accomplished developer Milepost Simulations, the C&S Alpine Tunnel: St. Elmo to Pitkin Route brings legendary and dramatic steam-era narrow-gauge railroading to Train Simulator Classic! Making the eastbound climb toward Alpine Tunnel, Colorado & Southern 2-8-0 No. 68 and two sisters are lifting tonnage through the scenic Colorado Rockies and approaching Quartz.

The C&S Alpine Tunnel route extends from St. Elmo to Pitkin, Colorado, a distance of around 22 miles, and will recall a portion of Colorado & Southern’s Gunnison Division during the period 1905-1910. Baldwin-built C&S Consolidation No. 62 has just departed the depot at snowy St. Elmo (above) with a mixed train, while at Pitkin, a trio of C&S 2-8-0s is departing with coal tonnage in tow (below).

The C&S Alpine Tunnel route features the railroad’s B4D-class 2-8-0s, which were built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1890 and originally served the Denver, Leadville, and Gunnison. The diminutive but potent locomotive is provided in standard configuration and with a large snow plow affixed.

At an elevation of nearly 11,600 feet, C&S No. 64 is emerging from the west of 1,772-foot-long Alpine Tunnel (above). Nearby, the railroad hosted a stone engine house that included an enclosed turntable (below).

Jaw-dropping scenery was the norm on the Alpine Tunnel route, and nowhere more so than on the west slope of the line between the summit and Woodstock. C&S 2-8-0 No. 68 and a passenger train are easing along the sheer cliffs at the “Palisades” (above). On the rear of a westbound short freight rides a four-wheeled wooden “bobber” caboose (below). The route includes nine types of C&S freight and passenger rolling stock.

With nearly constant grades of 3 and even 4 percent, the Alpine Tunnel route required multiple locomotives to tote even moderate tonnage. C&S B4D 2-8-0 No. 68, with sisters farther back in the consist, is chugging between large stone boulders at Quartz.

The C&S Alpine Tunnel route wonderfully recalls the small towns, yards, and lineside structures of the turn-of-the-century era. C&S Consolidation No. 64 is spotting gondolas at the Golf Mill near Romley (above), while on a snow-dressed day sister No. 63, with a flanger attached, prepares to take on water at Hancock (below).

C&S No. 64 leads a mixed train twisting through an S-curve approaching Woodstock. Milepost Simulations’ Alpine Tunnel route for Train Simulator Classic takes you back to one of railroading’s most remarkable and memorable eras – and brings you the full experience of steam-era railroading in the extraordinary Colorado Rockies!

Developer Milepost Simulations’ latest Train Simulator Classic route will take you to the legendary Colorado narrow-gauge Alpine Tunnel route!

Narrow-gauge railroading in the Colorado Rockies has always had appeal that bordered on the mystical. It was a place where brave and skilled railroaders and diminutive but potent steam locomotives battled with the unforgiving challenges of mountain railroading. And among the many memorable narrow-gauge lines of Colorado, few if any were more legendary than the route that climbed to 11,600-foot-high Alpine Tunnel.

Soon, the Alpine Tunnel route, as originally built by the fabled Denver, South Park, and Pacific and operated by the Colorado & Southern, will come to Train Simulator Classic!

Created for Train Simulator Classic by acclaimed developer Milepost Simulations, the upcoming C&S Alpine Tunnel route extends from St. Elmo to Pitkin, Colorado, a distance of around 22 miles, and will recall a portion of Colorado & Southern’s Gunnison Division during the period 1905-1910.

The ND5-II is a 6-axle diesel-electric locomotive powered by a 16-cylinder diesel engine. Based on the US GE C36-7 locomotive platform, more than 400 examples have entered service for China Railways. 

Recreated for Train Simulator Classic by developers the Monologue Group, the ND5-II comes with many realistic operational features, including LJK train monitoring system, RISC/CTCS signal recognition and custom numbering.

The ND5-II runs on the Longhai Railway: Lingbao – Mianchi route, which includes a scenic 105 km electrified section between Lingbao and Mianchi of the Henan province, where the line notably makes a horseshoe curve through the district of Hubin. This section traverses the beautiful Loess Plateau scenery, scattered with forests and farmlands making for a hillside sea of lush greenery.

Unlike high-speed lines in China, which are fitted with CTCS signalling, slower routes such as the Longhai Railway are equipped with LKJ signalling, providing a unique challenge in balancing in-cab and track-side information as you go about your duties.

In ten realistic career scenarios, Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 02 delivers diverse BN railroading on ex-Great Northern Montana routes!

When the Burlington Northern was created in 1970, it was the new railroad’s ex-Great Northern routes that took center stage in moving priority tonnage across the great American High Plains and Montana Rockies. And now, Burlington Northern railroading on the ex-Great Northern main line across Montana comes alive with Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 02.

From High Iron Simulations, Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 02 includes ten all-new and realistic career scenarios re-creating BN operations during the 1970s-1990s era on the Train Simulator Classic Marias Pass and Montana Hi-Line routes.

Train Simulator Classic’s Montana Hi-Line and Marias Pass routes together represent more than 250 route miles of Burlington Northern’s ex-Great Northern trackage extending from Havre to White Fish Montana, plus the railroad’s Kalispell branch line, and with Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 02, you’ll go to work across the breadth of these popular routes.

With Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 02, you’ll climb aboard and take the controls of eight diverse types of Burlington Northern Electro-Motive and General Electric diesels to handle heavy tonnage, priority intermodal traffic, locals, and switching duties.

With Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 02, you will:

• Serve as engineer of Burlington Northern hotshot intermodal train No. 1 as it employs EMD SD40-2 diesels to make the unforgiving descent of the west slope of Marias Pass from Marias Summit to Whitefish.

• Climb aboard a stylish Burlington Northern EMD GP30 to lead BN Seattle-Chicago manifest freight No. 82 eastbound from Shelby on the Montana Hi-Line.

• Answer the call for a heavy Burlington Northern coal drag making its way west on the Marias Pass route from Cut Bank, with a quartet of burly General Electric U25C diesels providing the horsepower.

• Work an evening switching job at massive Havre Yard on the Hi-Line with a veteran Burlington Northern EMD SW1200 switcher as your locomotive.

• Manage the 14,400 horsepower of a quartet of BN EMD SD45s toting a 100-car train of empty covered hoppers to the Chester Loop on the Hi-Line for grain loading.

• Take the throttle of a veteran General Electric U25B still wearing Great Northern “Big Sky Blue” colors to work a local “grain collector” job calling at many of the Montana Hi-Line’s grain elevators.

• Aboard a potent ex-Great Northern EMD F45, work Burlington Northern regional freight No. 602 on a wintry day along the Montana Hi-Line.

• Experience traditional branch-line railroading as you handle a pair of Burlington Northern EMD GP9s powering the railroad’s Kalispell Branch local from Kalispell to Columbia Falls with switching work en route.

Note: For full use, this scenario pack requires the Marias Pass Route (Dovetail Games); Montana Hi-Line Route (Great Northerner); Bozeman Pass Route (High Iron Simulations, for use of locomotives and rolling stock); BNSF Locomotive Pack Add-On (Dovetail Games, which includes BN locomotives); and Burlington Northern U25 Pack (DTM)

The ten new career scenarios of Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 02 are based closely on actual railroad operations and train symbols and bring you the challenging and captivating experiences of railroading on one of America’s legendary railroads. Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 02 is available now at the Steam Store!

Now available, Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 02 brings to life BN operations during the 1970s through the 1990s on the Train Simulator Classic Marias Pass and Montana Hi-Line routes. Crossing the Flathead River near Essex, BN EMD SD40-2 7092 and its hot intermodal meet an eastbound freight on the west slope of Marias Pass.

With an ex-Great Northern EMD GP30 on the point, Burlington Northern Seattle-Chicago manifest freight No. 82 climbs eastbound from Shelby on the Montana Hi-Line. Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 02 puts you at the throttle of eight diverse types of BN diesel locomotives.

A quartet of Burlington Northern General Electric U25Cs, including one unit still wearing Burlington Route colors, lugs a westbound unit coal train on the Marias Pass route and meets eastbound empties. With Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 02, you will handle heavy tonnage, priority intermodal traffic, locals, and switching duties.  

Working an early evening yard job at expansive Havre Yard on the Montana Hi-Line, veteran Burlington Northern EMD SW1200 rolls a string of covered hoppers past a trio of BN EMD GP9s ready to power an eastbound grain train.

Four potent Burlington Northern EMD SD45s totaling 14,400 horsepower have 100 empty covered hoppers in tow on the Hi-Line, bound for the grain loading loop at Chester, Montana.

Montana is one of the world’s great grain producers, and the Burlington Northern is always busy collecting loads and distributing empties to the countless lineside elevators. In a scene from BN’s early years, GE U25B 5400, wearing its Great Northern “Big Sky Blue” livery, is on the point of a “grain collector” local.

Originally built for the Great Northern, Burlington Northern EMD F45 6601 is on the point at snowy Inverness on the Hi-Line as east and westbound tonnage meet. The ten career scenarios of Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 02 are based on actual railroad operations and train symbols.

Traditional branch line railroading awaits you on the Kalispell Branch (of the Marias Pass route) as a pair of Burlington Northern venerable EMD Geeps make up their local at Kalispell and then handle switching and lineside work en route.

A quartet of Burlington Northern GE U25Cs hauling coal meet a set of EMD GP9s working a grain local near Blackfoot on the Marias Pass route. Burlington Northern Scenario Pack brings you the challenging and captivating experiences of railroading on one of America’s legendary railroads – and the pack is available now at the Steam Store!
