The Train Simulator Classic Train Simulator: Amtrak SDP40F Loco Add-On adds Amtrak’s SDP40F passenger diesel locomotive, ex-Santa Fe Hi-Level passenger cars and four career scenarios. The scenarios use the Donner Pass Southern Pacific route, which is available separately.

The SDP40F

Amtrak ordered 150 SDP40Fs from Electro-Motive after taking over most passenger-train operations in the United States on May 1, 1971, and facing an immediate need for diesel power. Numbered 500–649, the locomotives were built between June 1973 and August 1974. The SDP40F shared many components with EMD’s freight-service SD40-2 and used a 3,000-horsepower, turbocharged, two-cycle V-16 EMD 645-series engine. Its six-axle passenger-diesel design had a cowl carbody, steam generator and water tank, and weighed nearly 400,000 pounds.

Problems including derailments at speed led Amtrak to build its future diesel fleet around the more versatile and nimble EMD F40PH. Amtrak retired its last SDP40Fs in the early 1980s. The add-on includes the locomotive in Amtrak’s Phase I, Phase II and Phase III liveries, with an authentic cab, controls and operating features.

Passenger cars

The pack also includes Amtrak’s ex-Santa Fe Hi-Level passenger cars, known for their service on the El Capitan/Super Chief and Texas Chief. The set includes baggage-express and baggage-dorm transition cars, two coach versions, a diner and a lounge. The cars come in Amtrak Phase I and Phase III liveries.

Career scenarios

Four career scenarios for the Donner Pass Southern Pacific route are included:

• San Francisco Zephyr Trials, Part 1
• San Francisco Zephyr Trials, Part 2
• San Francisco Zephyr Trials, Part 3
• San Francisco Zephyr Final Trial

The add-on is also Quick Drive compatible.
