Grueling mountain grades of 2.2 percent, a famed double-horseshoe, heavy lumber and manifest freights, hot intermodals, the magnificent and memorable scenery of Northern California and Oregon, classic diesel power, and legendary Southern Pacific railroading under the gaze of majestic 14,000-foot Mount Shasta – all that and more awaits you with Train Simulator’s Southern Pacific Mount Shasta Route!

Masterfully developed by Milepost Simulations, this remarkable Train Simulator route re-creates the Black Butte District of Southern Pacific’s Cascade Line, extending 108 route miles between two noted railroad towns, Dunsmuir, California and Klamath Falls, Oregon. Set in 1983 and as part of Southern Pacific’s key rail route between Southern California and the Pacific Northwest, the line is alive with rail traffic and railroading challenges!

Providing the power to tote tonnage over the mountains and across the high plains of Northern California are Southern Pacific’s distinctive EMD SD40T-2 “Tunnel Motor” and the railroad’s classic first-generation EMD SD9E “Cadillac” six-axle diesels.

Constructed by the historic Central Pacific beginning in 1870 and part of the Southern Pacific since 1885, the famed western route climbs out of Dunsmuir, elevation 2,290 feet, following the path of the Sacramento River Valley to eventually reach its 5,063-foot summit at Grass Lake, California. To achieve its ascent of more than 2,700 feet, the line calls upon gradients of over two percent and a renowned double-horseshoe curve south of Azalea, California. Then, once over its summit, the route proceeds under the gaze of towering Mount Shasta as its descends into the scenic Klamath Basin. Today, the line is a key portion of Union Pacific’s “I-5” north-south corridor.

With Train Simulator’s Southern Pacific Mount Shasta route, you’ll experience everything from tough and unrelenting mountain railroading on the southern portion of the line to fast-paced, 60-mph running in the north. And you’ll climb aboard SP’s potent EMD SD40T-2 and much-admired EMD SD9E diesels, the latter of which were nicknamed “Cadillacs” by Southern Pacific crews for their fine riding qualities. Joining the motive power is a superb selection of eight types of freight rolling stock in multiple liveries, including an SP steel bay-window caboose. And you’ll be ready to get right to work, thanks to seven realistic career scenarios and a selection of free-roam scenarios, plus the route is Quick-Drive enabled.
