Train Sim World® 2 - DTG Natster

Union Pacific’s Sherman Hill, one of America’s most historic, legendary, scenic, and busy rail lines, now comes to Train Sim World 2!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1664950/Train_Sim_World_2_Sherman_Hill_Cheyenne__Laramie_Route_AddOn/


Built in the late 1860s as a vital link in America’s Transcontinental Railroad, a century and a half later, Sherman Hill still stands tall as one of the country’s most dynamic and bustling routes for rail tonnage moving across the U. S. And now, the new Train Sim World 2 Sherman Hill route brings all the elements that make Sherman Hill extraordinary – magnificent scenery, tough and demanding grades, heavy tonnage, big motive power, and an endless flow of diverse freight – to full life.

The Train Sim World 2 Sherman Hill route is anchored by two of America’s most renowned railroad cities – Cheyenne and Laramie, Wyoming. Cheyenne is home to a classic and magnificent Union Pacific depot, UP’s famed shops which are home to its heritage steam fleet, a sprawling yard, and nearby industries. Laramie is likewise a hotspot of Union Pacific main line, yard, and lineside railroading action.



Between Cheyenne and Laramie, the Sherman Hill line – traditionally known as the Laramie Subdivision of UP’s Wyoming Division – stretches across 57 memorable miles of multi-track main line that crosses a rugged spar of the Laramie Mountains and tops the American Continental Divide at 8,015-feet above sea level. With lengthy westbound gradients of up to 1.55 percent, the route is challenging, and it is mesmerizing, too, for its vast High Plains western scenery and classic railroad locations which include Sherman Summit, Dale Junction, and Union Pacific’s 1,800-foot-long Hermosa Tunnels.

Dating to the days of steam and the likes of Union Pacific’s famed 4-8-8-4 Big Boys, Sherman Hill has always been home to super motive power and the new Train Sim World 2 Sherman Hill route features a meticulously modeled Union Pacific EMD SD70ACe plus the venerable and able EMD SD40-2. Accompanying the burly diesels is a selection of contemporary freight equipment and more than 121 timetables services and 6 scenarios which will put you to work totting the diverse and heavy rail tonnage that crosses Sherman Hill in a never-ending flow of traffic, from massive double-stack consists to manifest freight, auto traffic, grain, coal, and more!






As an engineer on the new Train Sim World 2 Union Pacific Sherman Hill route, you’ll climb aboard the advanced and modern 4,300-horsepower, six-axle SD70ACe and take command of lash-ups (including front-end and DPU power sets) generating tens-of-thousands of horsepower, and you’ll also take the throttle of the landmark EMD SD40-2 to tackle local and switching duties.



Wearing Union Pacific’s classic and long-lived yellow, gray, and red livery, a duo of EMD SD40-2s are working yard duty, a task the veteran diesels are often assigned to. The Union Pacific’s use of vibrant Armour Yellow dates back to 1934 and its earliest streamliners.






With Train Sim World 2’s new Sherman Hill route, you will climb aboard to take the throttle and controls in meticulously re-created and authentic locomotive cabs. The SD70ACe for Train Sim World 2 features state-of-the-art console-style engineer’s controls and realistic operating characteristics and sounds.







Experience all the challenges and enjoyment of an American railroading legend -- with Train Sim World 2’s new Union Pacific Sherman Hill route, available now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Epic Games Store and Steam! Join Nat and Matt on Railfan TV tonight as they celebrate the launch. Watch live on Twitch and YouTube at 20:00 UTC 25th November.

East Coastway
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1304447/Train_Sim_World_2_East_Coastway_Brighton__Eastbourne__Seaford_Route_AddOn/



“This service is formed of 3 coaches” scrolls across the customer information board as you patiently wait for your Brighton bound train, the classic BR Class 313 EMU in Southern Livery has arrived for Train Sim World 2: East Coastway!


At forty-five years old the BR Class 313 EMU is the oldest EMU in regular service across Britain’s railway network, having served the outer suburbs of London in a variety of liveries since the 1970s, you can now enjoy this stalwart of the British Railways era in its most modern guise on the scenic Train Sim World 2: East Coastway. Painted in the green and white livery of Southern, the BR Class 313 EMU is enhanced with Coastway branding and refurbished with a variety of modern features that better accommodate a new generation of commuters, tourists, and football fans who regularly use the East and West Coastway out of Brighton.




This highly detailed new Add-On puts you in the cab of the veteran BR Class 313 EMU, beautifully detailed to simulate a feature-rich and realistic driving experience, with lovingly recreated performance, sounds, and handling. This plucky little three-car unit regularly runs in pairs, particularly on busy summer or match days, with Scenario Planner you have the freedom to run it as either . Master the controls and get started in the detailed training scenario, then try your hand at the three unique scenarios that take you across the Idyllic East Coastway.




The BR Class 313 EMU arrives for Train Sim World 2: East Coastway's busy timetable, bringing this classic EMU to work alongside the BR Class 377 EMU and BR Class 66. Of course, you can always play it your own way as it is fully compatible with Train Sim World 2’s Livery Designer and Scenario Planner. Included is a duplicate of the East Coastway timetable, in which the Class 313 is driveable on the Lewes and Seaford services. You will still be able to drive the Class 377 on these services in the original timetable.




To give you the feel of busy tourist traffic we have updated Train Sim World 2: East Coastway with additional features. This includes the new Rush Hour passenger system, meaning you can enjoy increased passenger numbers and new character models and clothing.This additional footfall will fill up your BR Class 313 EMU quickly, with all those additional passengers embarking and disembarking, and a lower top speed than the BR Class 377 EMU it will take some skill and practice to stay on time and stick to your timetable.




As the BR Class 313 EMU can occasionally be seen on the Brighton Main Line heading for servicing and repairs at Selhurst Depot, we thought it only fitting to include this stock movement as additional layers to Rush Hour: London Commuter. Twelve playable and AI additional service layers have been added to this recent Add-On and can be enjoyed by PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S players when both Add-Ons are installed.

Train Sim World 2: BR Class 313 EMU is available now!
