The Mountain Subdivision: Historic (opened in 1852), tough (multiple twisting grades of 2.2 percent), and home to some of the most scenic and challenging railroading in America.

Stretching from the Potomac Valley of Maryland across the summit of the Alleghanies in West Virginia, the railroad was called the “West End” in an earlier time and then the Mountain Subdivision of the historic Baltimore & Ohio and today’s rail goliath, CSX.

Train Simulator Classic’s acclaimed B&O Mountain Subdivision Route re-creates this famed 101-mile rail line that extends from Cumberland, Maryland to Grafton, West Virginia – and now CSX Scenario Pack 03 brings modern-day CSX railroading to the extraordinary route!

CSX Scenario Pack 03, created by High Iron Simulations, features ten new and realistic career scenarios which bring heavy haul railroading to life as CSX totes massive coal trains as well as manifest freight across the scenic and rugged spine of the Alleghany Mountains.

Set in the era from 2014 to present day, CSX Scenario Pack 03 will put you at the throttle of four locomotive types ranging from third-generation titans such as General Electric’s ES44DC to CSX’s unique and versatile SD40-3 rebuilds, all ready to tackle the route’s unforgiving 2.2 percent twisting grades and extraordinary tonnage.

The Mountain Subdivision, opened in 1852, has through its long history been renowned for coal-hauling and you will handle 100+ car loaded unit coal trains with head-end and DPU (distribution power unit) locomotives as well as manned helpers to lift tonnage over the Alleghanies. You’ll also climb aboard CSX power to usher empty trains back toward the mines, operate the line’s workhorse manifest freight, and handle local and switching duties.

With CSX Scenario Pack 03, you will:

• Make an end-to-end, Grafton-to-Cumberland run across the Mountain Subdivision in a challenging four-part scenario. En route, the train will, over specific portions of the line, authentically operate with and without mid-train DPU locomotives and with and without rear-end manned helpers.
  
• Take the controls of CSX’s westbound workhorse manifest freight – symbol Q-317 – in a two-part scenario that includes the tough climb of legendary 17-Mile Grade and the equally unforgiving descent of Cranberry Grade.
  
• Aboard a CSX EMD GP40-2, work the Mountain Subdivision’s westbound L-163 local freight, handling switching duties en route at Keyser, West Virginia and the sprawling paper plant at Like, Maryland.
  
• Handle a heavy coal train coming off the ex-Western Maryland Thomas Subdivision bound for Newport News, Virginia. It’s a snowy, slippery day, but your power set led by a veteran CSX General Electric C40-8W will be up to the task.
  
• Work a westbound empty hopper train that’s also been called upon to lug overflow manifest tonnage from symbol freight Q-317. With a trio of CSX’s unique SD40-3 rebuilds, you’ll make a pickup at M&K Junction, then climb the Cheat River Grade.
  
• Serve as engineer of loaded eastbound coal train U787 making the crossing of Newburg and Cranberry Grades on a wintry day, Despite the weather, local railfans surely will be out, because on the point of your train is a power-pooled BNSF diesel.

The ten new career scenarios of CSX Scenario Pack 03, based closely on actual railroad operations and train symbols, deliver the remarkable experiences of big-time, heavy haul railroading on one of America’s most historic, scenic, and challenging mountain railroads!
