The Train Simulator Classic Train Simulator: E60 Electric Locomotive Add-On adds General Electric E60 electric locomotives in Amtrak and NJ TRANSIT liveries. The six-axle E60 produces 6,000 horsepower and weighs more than 365,000 pounds. It was developed from a freight locomotive first built for the coal-hauling Black Mesa & Lake Powell Railroad.

The E60 in service

Amtrak ordered 26 E60s in 1973 to replace its aging GG1 locomotives. The order included steam-generator and head-end power (HEP) versions; the steam-generator units were eventually converted to HEP. After EMD/ASEA AEM-7 electrics began arriving in 1979, Amtrak started selling its E60s, including ten to NJ TRANSIT in 1984.

Thirteen Amtrak E60s were rebuilt, renumbered from the 900-series to the 600-series, and remained in service until 2002. NJ TRANSIT used its ten former Amtrak locomotives primarily on the North Jersey Coast Line until 1998. Two E60s, one Amtrak and one NJ TRANSIT, have been preserved.

Locomotives and controls

The Amtrak version represents the rebuilt 600-series E60s. The locomotives feature authentic controls and railroad-specific details, and are available in running and “cold & dark” configurations. The add-on also includes an Amtrak Amfleet I coach and café car, both in Phase III livery and with detailed interiors.

Four career scenarios are included, with two each for the NEC: New York-New Haven Route and the North Jersey Coast & Morristown Lines Route. Both routes are available separately.
