Treacherous Tehachapi! Spun over and through the daunting Tehachapi Mountains of California, the Tehachapi Pass route was constructed by the Southern Pacific, opened in 1876, and connects the arid Mojave Desert with California’s fertile San Joaquin Valley. In 1899, via a trackage rights arrangement, the legendary Santa Fe Railway (AT&SF) also began operations on the Tehachapi Pass line. In the 1990s, Southern Pacific merged into Union Pacific and Santa Fe merged with Burlington Northern to form BNSF and today the route is Union Pacific’s bustling Mojave Subdivision and is a heavy tonnage artery for both Union Pacific and BNSF.

From High Iron Simulations, Tehachapi Pass Scenario Pack 01 features ten realistic and challenging career scenarios bringing to life two extraordinary eras of Tehachapi railroading, with five scenarios representing operations during the Southern Pacific/Santa Fe era of the 1980s-90s and five scenarios re-creating contemporary Union Pacific and BNSF railroading!

With Tehachapi Pass Scenario Pack 01, you’ll tackle everything from hot intermodal trains to the heaviest trains ever to cross the Tehachapi Mountains – and you’ll climb aboard diesels as diverse as Santa Fe’s flashy “Warbonnet” GE Dash 8-40BWs, Southern Pacific’s rugged EMD SD45T-2s, and Union Pacific’s potent GE AC4400CWs. Among the experiences that await you in the ten career scenarios of Tehachapi Pass Scenario Pack 01 are:

• Highballing priority intermodals such as Santa Fe’s premier Train 991 and a Union Pacific hotshot I-5 corridor stack and piggyback train.
  
• Dragging extraordinarily ponderous tonnage, including Southern Pacific’s fabled “Oil Cans,” Santa Fe coal, and BNSF ethanol consists over the 2.2 percent grades of Tehachapi. Many of these heavy trains feature locomotives on the point, placed mid-train, and on the rear!
  
• Working locals such as Southern Pacific and Union Pacific trains handling cement traffic off the UP’s Oak Creek branch or originating at the massive Monolith cement plant.
  
• Answering the call to work Union Pacific’s morning switch job at Mojave.

Known for creating authentic scenarios, High Iron Simulations and its Tehachapi Pass Scenario Pack 01 deliver big-time, rugged, and demanding American western railroading at its best in ten scenarios closely based on actual operations and train symbols of the two eras.

Note: Tehachapi Pass Scenario Pack 01 requires the Tehachapi Pass: Mojave - Bakersfield Route Add-On. Select scenarios also require the Montana Hi-Line: Shelby - Havre Route Add-On; Arizona Divide: Winslow - Williams Route Add-On; Southern Pacific SD45T-2 Loco Add-On; and Southern Pacific U33C Loco Add-On. Tehachapi Pass Scenario Pack 01 is available worldwide; due to licensing restrictions, Santa Fe (AT&SF) and BNSF markings will appear only on content distributed to U. S. customers.
