Available Now - Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 02!

In ten realistic career scenarios, Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 02 delivers diverse BN railroading on ex-Great Northern Montana routes!
When the Burlington Northern was created in 1970, it was the new railroad’s ex-Great Northern routes that took center stage in moving priority tonnage across the great American High Plains and Montana Rockies. And now, Burlington Northern railroading on the ex-Great Northern main line across Montana comes alive with Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 02.
From High Iron Simulations, Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 02 includes ten all-new and realistic career scenarios re-creating BN operations during the 1970s-1990s era on the Train Simulator Classic Marias Pass and Montana Hi-Line routes.
Train Simulator Classic’s Montana Hi-Line and Marias Pass routes together represent more than 250 route miles of Burlington Northern’s ex-Great Northern trackage extending from Havre to White Fish Montana, plus the railroad’s Kalispell branch line, and with Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 02, you’ll go to work across the breadth of these popular routes.
With Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 02, you’ll climb aboard and take the controls of eight diverse types of Burlington Northern Electro-Motive and General Electric diesels to handle heavy tonnage, priority intermodal traffic, locals, and switching duties.
With Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 02, you will:
Serve as engineer of Burlington Northern hotshot intermodal train No. 1 as it employs EMD SD40-2 diesels to make the unforgiving descent of the west slope of Marias Pass from Marias Summit to Whitefish.
Climb aboard a stylish Burlington Northern EMD GP30 to lead BN Seattle-Chicago manifest freight No. 82 eastbound from Shelby on the Montana Hi-Line.
Answer the call for a heavy Burlington Northern coal drag making its way west on the Marias Pass route from Cut Bank, with a quartet of burly General Electric U25C diesels providing the horsepower.
Work an evening switching job at massive Havre Yard on the Hi-Line with a veteran Burlington Northern EMD SW1200 switcher as your locomotive.
Manage the 14,400 horsepower of a quartet of BN EMD SD45s toting a 100-car train of empty covered hoppers to the Chester Loop on the Hi-Line for grain loading.
Take the throttle of a veteran General Electric U25B still wearing Great Northern “Big Sky Blue” colors to work a local “grain collector” job calling at many of the Montana Hi-Line’s grain elevators.
Aboard a potent ex-Great Northern EMD F45, work Burlington Northern regional freight No. 602 on a wintry day along the Montana Hi-Line.
Experience traditional branch-line railroading as you handle a pair of Burlington Northern EMD GP9s powering the railroad’s Kalispell Branch local from Kalispell to Columbia Falls with switching work en route.
Note: For full use, this scenario pack requires the Marias Pass Route (Dovetail Games); Montana Hi-Line Route (Great Northerner); Bozeman Pass Route (High Iron Simulations, for use of locomotives and rolling stock); BNSF Locomotive Pack Add-On (Dovetail Games, which includes BN locomotives); and Burlington Northern U25 Pack (DTM)
The ten new career scenarios of Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 02 are based closely on actual railroad operations and train symbols and bring you the challenging and captivating experiences of railroading on one of America’s legendary railroads. Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 02 is available now at the Steam Store!
Now available, Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 02 brings to life BN operations during the 1970s through the 1990s on the Train Simulator Classic Marias Pass and Montana Hi-Line routes. Crossing the Flathead River near Essex, BN EMD SD40-2 7092 and its hot intermodal meet an eastbound freight on the west slope of Marias Pass.
With an ex-Great Northern EMD GP30 on the point, Burlington Northern Seattle-Chicago manifest freight No. 82 climbs eastbound from Shelby on the Montana Hi-Line. Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 02 puts you at the throttle of eight diverse types of BN diesel locomotives.
A quartet of Burlington Northern General Electric U25Cs, including one unit still wearing Burlington Route colors, lugs a westbound unit coal train on the Marias Pass route and meets eastbound empties. With Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 02, you will handle heavy tonnage, priority intermodal traffic, locals, and switching duties.
Working an early evening yard job at expansive Havre Yard on the Montana Hi-Line, veteran Burlington Northern EMD SW1200 rolls a string of covered hoppers past a trio of BN EMD GP9s ready to power an eastbound grain train.
Four potent Burlington Northern EMD SD45s totaling 14,400 horsepower have 100 empty covered hoppers in tow on the Hi-Line, bound for the grain loading loop at Chester, Montana.
Montana is one of the world’s great grain producers, and the Burlington Northern is always busy collecting loads and distributing empties to the countless lineside elevators. In a scene from BN’s early years, GE U25B 5400, wearing its Great Northern “Big Sky Blue” livery, is on the point of a “grain collector” local.
Originally built for the Great Northern, Burlington Northern EMD F45 6601 is on the point at snowy Inverness on the Hi-Line as east and westbound tonnage meet. The ten career scenarios of Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 02 are based on actual railroad operations and train symbols.
Traditional branch line railroading awaits you on the Kalispell Branch (of the Marias Pass route) as a pair of Burlington Northern venerable EMD Geeps make up their local at Kalispell and then handle switching and lineside work en route.
A quartet of Burlington Northern GE U25Cs hauling coal meet a set of EMD GP9s working a grain local near Blackfoot on the Marias Pass route. Burlington Northern Scenario Pack brings you the challenging and captivating experiences of railroading on one of America’s legendary railroads – and the pack is available now at the Steam Store!

In ten realistic career scenarios, Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 01 delivers challenging 1970s and 1980s railroading on the western giant! Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 01, created by High Iron Simulations and available now, features diverse and challenging BN railroading from the 1970s through the early 1980s on the magnificent ex-Northern Pacific Train Simulator Classic Bozeman Pass route! The sprawling Burlington Northern was created in 1970 through the merger of the famed “Hill Lines” – Great Northern, Northern Pacific, Burlington Route, and Spokane, Portland & Seattle – and now Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 01 takes you to the formative years of the BN in ten realistic career scenarios! With Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 01, you will climb aboard and take the controls of no less than eight types of Burlington Northern Electro-Motive and General Electric diesels to handle heavy tonnage, priority intermodal traffic, locals, and switching duties. The railroad across Bozeman Pass was part of Northern Pacific’s main line between the Upper Midwest and Pacific Northwest. From Livingston, Montana, at an elevation of 4,484 feet, the line climbed westward on a 1.8 percent grade to its summit at 5,500 feet. The first Northern Pacific train crossed Bozeman Pass in January 1884, and today the line serves as a vital segment of the BNSF Railway. With Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 01, you will:
During the autumn grain rush, make a westbound end-to-end, Livingston to Trident (Montana) run across the Bozeman Pass route toting a heavy unit grain train with a stylish Burlington Northern EMD F45 on the point.
Climb aboard a veteran General Electric U25B and employ a pair of the landmark “U-Boats” to handle a local freight working on the Rocky Mountain Division’s Fourth Subdivision line toward Butte.
Experience the “rainbow years” of the Burlington Northern as the newly formed railroad calls upon diesels in the colorful liveries of its predecessor railroads and you work from the cab of an ex-Northern Pacific General Electric U25C.
As engineer of regional freight No. 196, handle set-out and pick-up work at Bozeman, then ascend the west slope of the pass with a lash-up of BN EMD GP30 and GP9 diesels.
With a quartet of then-new Burlington Northern EMD SD40-2 diesels as power, bring an eastbound empty grain movement down the wintry east slope of Bozeman Pass while making way for several higher-priority, heavy westbound movements.
Aboard a set of BN EMD GP38-2s and as engineer of regional freight No. 195, tackle set-out and pick-up work at the massive cement plant at Trident.
Handle yard and shop switching duties at the historic ex-Northern Pacific Livingston yard and shop complex at the throttle of a venerable BN Electro-Motive GP9.
In a two-part eastbound end-to-end run of the Bozeman Pass route, take charge of a trio of BN EMD SD45s and hot BN intermodal Train 4 as it detours from its usual ex-Great Northern route to hustle east on the ex-Northern Pacific main line.
Note: For full use, this scenario pack requires the Bozeman Pass Route (High Iron Simulations), BNSF Locomotive Pack Add-On (Dovetail Games, includes BN locomotives), and Burlington Northern U25 Pack (DTM). The ten new career scenarios of Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 01, based closely on actual railroad operations and train symbols of the era, bring you the challenging and captivating experiences of railroading on one of America’s great railroads – and it’s available now at the Steam Store!
Now available, Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 01 features BN railroading from the 1970s through the early 1980s on the magnificent ex-Northern Pacific Train Simulator Classic Bozeman Pass route. On BN’s always busy Rocky Mountain Division, east- and westbound freights powered by GE diesels wearing BN and predecessor liveries meet at Manhattan.
With Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 01, you will climb aboard and take the controls of eight types of Burlington Northern Electro-Motive and General Electric diesels. In a two-part end-to-end run on the scenic Bozeman Pass route, Burlington Northern EMD F45 6600 is departing Livingston Yard with a heavy westbound unit grain train.
A pair of Burlington Northern General Electric U25B “U-Boats” are preparing to depart Logan with a Butte-bound local as a main line freight rolls past. With Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 01, you will handle heavy tonnage, priority intermodal traffic, locals, and switching duties.
Created in 1970 through merger of the “Hill Lines,” the Burlington Northern Railroad was in its earliest days a rainbow of colors as the locomotives of the merged roads operated in original liveries. Powering BN manifest No. 24, General Electric U25C and U25B diesels wearing BN, Burlington Route, Northern Pacific, and Great Northern colors accelerate from Logan.
With pick-up and set-out work at Bozeman Yard completed, ex-Great Northern EMD GP30 2202 is on the point of BN regional freight No. 196 climbing the west slope of Bozeman Pass. The Burlington Northern inherited stylish GP30s from both Great Northern and Burlington Route.
In the early 1970s, Electro-Motive landmark SD40-2 was “new power.” On a winter day, a quartet of SD40-2s have just reached the rugged summit of Bozeman Pass and are about to enter the west portal of 3,015-foot Bozeman Tunnel. At the massive Trident cement plant, regional freight No. 195 with a duo of EMD GP38-2s is making pick-ups and set-outs at the facility. Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 01 features operations across the length of the acclaimed Train Simulator Classic Bozeman Pass route.
Livingston, at the eastern foot of Bozeman Pass, was the site of a major yard and shop facility – and a magnificent station – dating back to the Northern Pacific era. Burlington Northern EMD GP9 1713 is handling shop and yard switching chores as an eastbound grain train powered by EMD SD45s grinds past.
Three Burlington Northern EMD SD45s totaling 10,800 horsepower lead detouring BN intermodal Train No. 4 out of the east portal of Bozeman Tunnel. Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 01 brings you the challenging experiences of railroading on one of America’s great railroads – and it’s available now at the Steam Store!

Available Now – CSX Scenario Pack 03

Take the throttle for contemporary CSX heavy-duty railroading on the historic B&O Mountain Subdivision Route – with the new CSX Scenario Pack 03!
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 this extraordinary route!
CSX Scenario Pack 03, created by High Iron Simulations, features ten new and realistic career scenarios that 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 the present day, CSX Scenario Pack 03 will put you at the throttle of five 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 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 Luke, 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.
Note: For full use, this scenario pack requires the B&O Mountain Subdivision Route; CSX Hanover Subdivision Route; BNSF ES44DC Loco Add-On; CSX ES44AC Add-On Livery; GP40-2 Loco Pack Add-On; and CSX SD80MAC Loco Add-On. 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. From High Iron Simulations, CSX Scenario Pack 03 is available now at the Steam Store!

Train Simulator Classic’s acclaimed B&O Mountain Subdivision Route re-creates the 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! In the Potomac River Valley, CSX General Electric ES44AC diesels meet powering eastbound coal and westbound empty trains.
With CSX Scenario Pack 03, you’ll make a 100-mile Grafton-to-Cumberland run across the Mountain Subdivision in a challenging four-part scenario. With a duo of CSX ES44AC diesels on the point, the heavy coal train rolls east near Thornton, West Virginia (above), then nears the end of its journey as it enters Cumberland, Maryland (below).
Behind a pair of veteran General Electric C40-8W diesels, CSX’s westbound manifest freight workhorse – symbol Q-317 – is slowly clawing its way up legendary 17-Mile Grade and has just cleared Hitchcock Tunnel en route to the line’s summit at Altamont, West Virginia.
Working the Mountain Subdivision westbound local, a duo of Electro-Motive GP40-2 diesels are bridging the North Branch of the Potomac River as they switch the massive paper plant located at Luke, Maryland.
Snow is falling as CSX GE C40-8W 7853 leads a unit coal train off the ex-Western Maryland Thomas Subdivision and ducks under the Mountain Subdivision main line near West Virginia Junction as an eastbound coal train powered by EMD SD40-2 diesels glides overhead.
At Tunnelton, West Virginia, a set of unique CSX SD40-3 rebuilt diesels have westbound mixed tonnage on the move. The SD40-3 is the result of CSX’s locomotive remanufacturing program based upon veteran SD40-2 diesels. With CSX Scenario Pack 03, you’ll climb aboard five types of second- and third-generation CSX diesel power.
Grinding upgrade alongside Racoon Creek, CSX unit coal train U787 passes through Newburg, West Virginia. Immediately ahead is an unforgiving climb to the top of Newburg Grade at Tunnelton. In the lead of the eastbound train is a power-pooled BNSF General Electric ES44DC.
At Altamont, CSX GE C40-8W 7906 reaches the summit of the Alleghanies at an elevation of 2,826 feet above sea level. CSX Scenario Pack 03 delivers the remarkable experiences of big-time railroading on one of America’s most historic, scenic, and challenging mountain railroads. From High Iron Simulations, CSX Scenario Pack 03 is available now at the Steam Store!
