Southern Railway PS-4 Pacific

Description
Big Thanks to Coca Cola Museum for the epic screenshots!

Southern serves the south!

This is my Finale mod for Transport Fever 2 as we look towards the future for Transport Fever 3!

Welcome back to the USRA era! Today we have and icon of the the railroad. The Southern Railway PS-4 4-6-2 Pacific!

Also check out Meatballhero's Southern Streamlined 1380! We did a colab, I made the standard version, he made the streamlined shroud and also aided in creating the Southern's heavy pullman Consist for the Crescent Limited!

An Icon of the rails! You can see the Southern 1401 at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C.!


READ THIS PLEASE!!!!
As a heads up folks, you will find this locomotive in your buy menu under "multiple unit" under the steam category. The reason you see it under the multiple unit category is the Random numbers mod. In order for it to work the locomotive must have a cargo space. That cargo is 1 passenger. So no, you are not crazy if you see this on your freight trains. This is the workaround for getting the random numbers to work. Honestly well worth it! Normally I'd say you must have a dependent mod active for the random numbers to work, but Meatballhero has allowed me to include the files! No dependents necessary for this one! Also you may want to set a max timer for your trains you want to sit and wait for full at stations.

Slight history

During the first world war the federal government enacted the USRA as an experiment to nationalize the railroads during a wartime emergency. This lasted from December of 1917 to March of 1920. They introduced standardized locomotive and rail car classes known as the USRA Standard.
Changes occurred quickly as once President Wilson issued the order for nationalization. All the railroads were organized into 3 divisions, East, West, and South. A reduction in passenger service occurred to help with decongestion of freight. The current number of locomotives and rolling stock was augmented by new production of up-to-date and standardized types/designed to be the best that could be produced to replace outdated equipment.

These locomotives are great in drag service

Whats next - Nothing this is the finale for TPF2!

This is the End of my TPF2 modding. The last 2 USRA models I was doing.. the B&O P7 and B&O P5 will come for TPF3! The P7 is already in the works!

The USRA locomotives are also ones in which if you simply google USRA and the type of locomotive you get so many hits on model locomotives. So if you are wanting to reskin these into your own road you can ask me on the TPF American Modding discord for the PSD's and create a dependent mod if you wish for the community.


HEADS UP-

From this point, please understand that my mods are rather heavy in poly count. Sorry I enjoy the detail. I put a lot of effort into these, to make them as best I can to be enjoyed. Sorry if you don't have enough disk space or computer power to run these. The models have LOD's on them to help reduce poly count as you zoom out.

Also in regards to screen shots. About 95% of the time friends take the screenshots for me. So any questions regarding them is best directed toward them at the discord below.

This may be the first time I've seen this color on an American steam locomotive. It looks coolest with the sunlight as a backdrop. Thank you.
