The Train Simulator Classic Train Simulator: BNSF ES44DC Loco Add-On adds the ES44DC diesel locomotive in BNSF Heritage livery, along with freight cars and three scenarios for the Pacific Surfliner LA – San Diego route. The route is available separately and is required to play the scenarios.

The ES44DC

Built to meet US diesel locomotive emission standards introduced in 2005, the ES44DC was part of GE’s Evolution Series. The first pre-production Evolution Series locomotives were built in 2003 with either AC or DC traction motors, depending on customer requirements. The four models made for the North American market were the ES40DC, ES44DC, ES44AC and ES44C4, all using a low-emission four-stroke diesel engine.

The ES44DC replaced the Dash 9-44CW in GE’s locomotive roster and resembles both the Dash 9 and AC4400CW, with some visible differences. More than 1,100 were built, primarily for BNSF, CSX Transportation and Canadian National Railway. Those not damaged in accidents continue to haul freight.

Driving and freight

The locomotive features dynamic braking, cab lighting and step lights. Its associated freight cars include a coal hopper, pipe flat car and tank car. It is also compatible with Quick Drive, which lets you drive it on any Quick Drive-enabled Train Simulator route.

Scenarios

The add-on includes three scenarios for the Pacific Surfliner LA – San Diego route:

• Training – BNSF ES44 Engineer: a training scenario for the BNSF ES44.
• Hobart Dayshift: a scenario set during the Hobart day shift.
• Leaving San Diego: a scenario departing San Diego.
