The Train Simulator: D&RGW SD9 Loco Add-On adds an EMD SD9 locomotive in Denver & Rio Grande livery to Train Simulator, along with mill gondolas and three scenarios for the Soldier Summit route. The route is available separately and is required to play the scenarios.

The SD9

The EMD SD9 is a 1,750 hp, six-axle (C-C) diesel road-switcher powered by EMD’s two-stroke 567C V-16 diesel engine. Electro-Motive built 471 SD9s between 1954 and 1959. The model followed the 1,500 hp SD7, introduced in 1952, and was a lengthened GP9 with six axles instead of four. “SD” stood for “Special Duty,” referring to the locomotive’s extra lugging ability and the lighter axle loadings made possible by its C-C wheel arrangement.

The Denver & Rio Grande owned 10 SD9s and five earlier SD7s. Its locomotives originally carried a black-and-orange livery with zebra-stripe ends and small “Rio Grande” lettering on the sides of the hoods. The SD9s were primarily based in Provo, where they worked as heavy yard switchers and on local and transfer freight services in the Provo, Salt Lake City and Ogden regions.

Locomotive features

The add-on includes advanced braking controls scripted for the Soldier Summit route. The locomotive is also compatible with Quick Drive, allowing you to drive it on any Quick Drive-enabled Train Simulator route.

Three scenarios are included for the Soldier Summit route:

• Assembling the Road
