The Desert Wind P42DC LA to Fullerton

In this scenario, you will be driving the Amtrak Desert Wind #36 from LA to Fullerton with a P42DC. The whole Desert Wind route goes from LA to Salt Lake City and the train connects to the California Zephyr there to Chicago. The Desert Wind first ran in 1979. Then in May 10, 1997, it was the last day of service for the Desert Wind and was discontinued since then. I know some thing may not be accurate. I tried to make it as accurate as possible. I substituted the old ATSF engines with BNSF C44-9W Warbonnets since Railworks does not those old ATSF engines. For the Amfleet cabcars and Amfleets phase 3, I substituted both of them with Phase IVb Amfleets from the NY to New Haven route since I don't have the Amtrak P30CH add on at the time. Enjoy!

The route is bassed off the real life schedule for the Desert Wind. A friend provided me an old timetable for the Desert Wind and I used it to make the scenario. He also provided me a timetable for the San Diegans so I could make the San Diegan trains in the scenario. Thanks to him for the timetables!
