TS Marketplace: Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 01

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!

Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 01, created by High Iron Simulations, 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.

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 giant 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, deliver the challenging and captivating experiences of railroading on one of America’s great railroads.
