BNSF contemporary railroading on bustling ex-Santa Fe routes awaits you in the ten new career scenarios of BNSF Scenario Pack 02 from High Iron Simulations! In 1995, the BNSF Railway was born through the merger of a pair of American railroading heavyweights, the Santa Fe Railway and the Burlington Northern. The creation of BNSF brought together under its banner two busy and vital rail crossings of the American West – the ex-Burlington Northern lines stretching across the northern tier of the U.S., and the ex-Santa Fe lines linking Chicago to California. Now, BNSF Scenario Pack 02 for Train Simulator Classic delivers – in ten new and realistic career scenarios – the challenges and drama of BNSF contemporary railroading on a pair of legendary lines with Santa Fe heritages – the Arizona Divide route and Tehachapi Pass route! With BNSF Scenario Pack 02, from noted developer High Iron Simulations, you’ll experience intermodal, manifest freight, unit train, local, and switching operations, and you’ll take the controls of four types of BNSF Electro-Motive and General Electric third-generation diesels to battle the steep and twisting mountain grades of Tehachapi Pass (as shared with Union Pacific as UP’s Mojave Subdivision) and tackle the roller-coaster, high-speed running of the Arizona Divide (BNSF’s Seligman Subdivision). With BNSF Scenario Pack 02, you will: Climb aboard a BNSF GE ES44DC to tackle a remarkable mix of mile-a-minute running and roller-coaster grades as you cross the full length of the always-busy Arizona Divide route with a heavy manifest freight in a two-part career scenario. Serve as engineer of a stylish ex-Santa Fe EMD GP60M powering the BNSF Flagstaff Local as it works its way west along the Arizona Divide route. After making a pick-up at Williams, roll BNSF GE ES44DC-powered Phoenix-Belen (New Mexico) tonnage eastward across the Arizona Divide to Winslow in a challenging two-part scenario. On the tough and historic Tehachapi Pass Route in California, which BNSF shares with Union Pacific, take the throttle of a BNSF GP60M on the point of a priority vehicle train for a run from Mojave to the landmark of Tehachapi Loop. During a period when BNSF was short on power, handle a burly and potent BNSF Electro-Motive SD70MAC making a rare appearance on Tehachapi Pass as it powers a Chicago-bound stack train. Tackle the grades of Tehachapi Pass amid heavy spring rains and busy rail traffic as you descend the daunting west slope of the Tehachapi Mountains with a high-priority Chicago-Stockton (California) intermodal train. As dawn is breaking on the west slope of the Tehachapi Mountains, serve as engineer of a BNSF heavy unit train hauling crude oil from Carlsbad, New Mexico, to Bakersfield. You have power on the head-end, mid-train, and rear of the enormous consist. Aboard a BNSF EMD SD70ACe at Bakersfield Yard, pull together the consist of a Bakersfield-Barstow manifest freight, enter the Union Pacific Mojave Subdivision at Kern Junction, and begin the climb of fabled Tehachapi Pass. Note: For full use, this scenario pack requires the Arizona Divide Route, Tehachapi Pass Route, Stevens Pass Route (for use of BNSF rolling stock), Santa Fe Super Fleet GP60M, SD70 V2 Volume 2 Loco Add-On, and BNSF ES44DC Loco Add-On. The ten new career scenarios of BNSF Scenario Pack 02, based closely on contemporary railroad operations and train symbols, re-create the remarkable experiences of BNSF modern North American railroading on two challenging ex-Santa Fe routes – and BNSF Scenario Pack 02 for Train Simulator Classic is available now at the Steam Store! Available now, BNSF Scenario Pack 02 and its ten career scenarios deliver contemporary BNSF railroading on a pair of rail lines with a rich Santa Fe heritage – the Train Simulator Classic Arizona Divide and Tehachapi Pass routes. BNSF General Electric ES44DCs roll west on the Arizona Divide (BNSF’s Seligman Subdivision) with intermodal train Z-MEMLAC and pass the rear DPU of an eastbound empty oil train. Once assigned to Santa Fe’s “Super Fleet” intermodals, still-stylish BNSF Electro-Motive GP60M 150 is on the point of the Flagstaff Local working its way west along the Seligman Subdivision in the company of a BNSF EMD GP38-2 and sister GP60M. With BNSF Scenario Pack 02, you’ll take the throttle of four types of BNSF General Electric and Electro-Motive third-generation diesel power. Having originated in Phoenix, BNSF manifest H-PHXBEL, powered by a quartet of GE ES44DC diesels, spans famed Canyon Diablo as it hustles over the Arizona Divide toward Winslow. With the new BNSF Scenario Pack 02, you will tackle modern manifest freight, intermodal, unit train, local, and switching duties. Crossing the rugged and magnificent Tehachapi Mountains in California, BNSF EMD GP60M 101 is on the point of BNSF vehicle train V-CLORIC as it clears Tunnel No. 9 and ducks under the rear of its own train at legendary Tehachapi Loop. BNSF’s potent SD70MAC diesels were not regular visitors to Tehachapi Pass, but during a motive power shortage in 2014, the distinctive diesels made appearances. BNSF SD70MAC 9793 is working with a pair of ES44DCs to power intermodal train Z-STOWSP at Walong. Amid spring rains and busy rail traffic, BNSF ES44DC 7710 is leading priority intermodal Q-CHISTO over the Tehachapi Pass route and passes the rear DPU of a Union Pacific train. The line over the Tehachapi Mountains is Union Pacific’s Mojave Subdivision and is shared by UP and BNSF. Dawn is breaking as BNSF crude oil train U-CBXBAK with ES44DC 7653 in the lead holds at Ilmon on the Tehachapi Pass route to meet an eastbound BNSF stack train. The ponderous crude oil train has GEs on the point, mid-train, and on the rear. Making up its consist at BNSF’s Bakersfield Yard, SD70ACe 9350 and a pair of GE sisters will soon have BNSF manifest freight M-BAKBAR (Bakersfield-Barstow) rolling eastbound to begin the daunting journey over Tehachapi Pass. Three trains meet near Canyon Diablo on the remarkable and always-busy Arizona Divide route. Now available at the Steam Store, BNSF Scenario Pack 02 puts you at the throttle for contemporary and challenging BNSF railroading on two popular Trains Simulator Classic routes!
