The Train Simulator Classic Train Simulator: D&RGW SD50 Loco Add-On adds an EMD SD50 locomotive in Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad livery. You can drive it on any Quick Drive-enabled Train Simulator route. The locomotive includes engine start and stop, dynamic brakes, front and rear headlights, numberboard lights, class lights and step lights.

The SD50

General Motors Electro-Motive Division developed the SD50 in response to competition from GE Transportation Systems’ Dash 7 locomotives, which offered up to 3,600 hp (2,685 kW) and more modern technology. EMD had previously made 3,600 hp locomotives, including the SD45 and SD45-2, but demand for those fuel-hungry models fell sharply after the 1970s fuel crises. The SD50 received a heavily updated V16 engine with increased horsepower, though its 50 series models suffered from engine and electrical system problems.

The SD50 has a longer overall frame and long hood than earlier EMD models. Its dynamic brake grid resistors sit in a cooler location ahead of the engine compartment air intakes, simplifying prime mover maintenance and the electrical system.

Soldier Summit scenarios

The add-on includes four scenarios for the Soldier Summit route, which is required to play them:

• Industrial Operation
• Green River
• Higher Priority
• The Storm and the Rock Slide
