Description
BNSF with 12 Double Stack Containers and 2+3 Engines

Evolution Series
The Evolution Series is a line of diesel locomotives built by GE Transportation Systems (now owned by Wabtec), initially designed to meet the U.S. EPA's Tier 2 locomotive emissions standards that took effect in 2005. The first pre-production units were built in 2003. Evolution Series locomotives are equipped with either AC or DC traction motors, depending on the customer's preference. All are powered by the GE GEVO engine.

The Evolution Series was named as one of the "10 Locomotives That Changed Railroading" by Trains Magazine and was the only locomotive series introduced after 1972 to be included in that list.

The Evolution Series locomotives are some of the best-selling and most successful freight locomotives in United States history.

GEVO in Cities: Skylines
Despite some of you would consider me as a European-centric train maker on WS, GEVO is one of my favorite US locomotive of all times. It was originally planned to be made for Railway 2 release but I decided to focus on networks themselves, thus I abandonned the idea of making US freight train for the release. Evangeline later on proposed to make DDAX for the release instead. Last year I got the request of making GEVO again, but this time I decide to see it to the end.

GEVO took about 3 months of work that includes mesh and textures and it is one of the most complex train I did for CSL so far. I hope you like the final product just as I enjoyed making it.

This train was the result of the commission request by Da Boss Hoss, so thanks goes to them as well.

Container cars were also made by Nostrix, as a result of previous collab on DDAX.


Features
- BNSF version of ES44AC 'GEVO'
- 3 engines consist on forward motion, 2 if train is reversed
- Maxi IV double stack container cars, 12 units long.
- Container cars change order and repaint based on cargo type, that is possible via TrailerVariation mod by Access Violation.
- Directional headlights with Additive Shader.
- 1:1 scale, fits under R2 USA wires.

Texture and Material Share
- All engines share the same texture to improve your RAM performance.
- The final load on RAM should be around 12MB, if you already have containers from previous release.

I love this locomotive (as i love all of REVO's stuff), but it was a show stopper, that the trailers have big containers stacked on small containers (obviously the Trailer Variation Loader has no idea about size).
First i unsubscribed with a bleeding heart, but then i found this mod:

This mod allows to define which trailers shall be used by which locomotive. As an example i downloaded a few trains with oil trailers and configured those to be used by this locomotive from REVO in random sequence. Works wonderful and now this fantastic locomotive runs my oil industry's logistics.:steamthumbsup:

This is a functional cargo train, so no it wont interfere
BurritoDelta09 Feb 28, 2024 @ 4:21pm 
@REVO so this train will not interfere with passenger rail?
Øuantum3 Jul 17, 2023 @ 10:53am 
Somehow, this train spaws anywhere as passanger train and it's waaaaaaayyyy long. And it conflicts with all the other trains due its lenght.

This is a cargo train. You have subscribed a dummy freight version that is a passenger train. In that case, you are commenting under wrong asset because this is not a dummy freight variant but actual freight train.

Is there a version that supports the freight station? Currently these trains are for passenger station.

First off - thank you for making this, it's my favorite US consist now when it comes to freight, awesome detail!

However there is some room for improvement imho ;)
1. when the consist drives into forward direction the third engine shows no headlight submesh at all, seems it's missing or the condition not triggers
2. headlights vs. number plates in general is a bit strange to me as all engines (even the secondary ones) have headlights turned on. In my realty only the leading engine should have headlights turned on, all secondary engines should only have lit number plates
3. a really used and worn version would be welcome as part of the series
4. as I personally plan to create a vehicle effects config for this set it would be nice to see the vanilla light sources sitting at the light positions in the middle as the outer lights are used as ditch lights irl

That's just my personal view, so anyway you have an upvote ;)
