Train Simulator Classic Train Simulator: Stevens Pass Route Add-On adds a 123-mile (198 km) route through Washington State’s Cascade Mountains, running from Wenatchee to Mukilteo. You drive trains over steep gradients, at low speeds and along single track, through mountainous terrain that includes the 7.79-mile (12.5 km) Cascade Tunnel.

The Stevens Pass route

Opened by the Great Northern Railway in 1893, the pass is named after John Frank Stevens, the first non-indigenous person to discover it. The route crosses four regions: maritime Everett; agricultural plains between Lowell and Gold Bar; the forested Cascades; and the semi-arid eastern slope, with its fruit orchards. It served freight and passenger traffic heading to the West Coast and Canada, connecting major industries at either end with smaller yards and industrial spurs along the way.

The route includes stations at Cashmere, Leavenmouth, Winton, Berne, Skykomish, Baring, Gold Bar and Everett, as well as major industrial yards at Wenatchee and Mukilteo and the Boeing construction facility at Mukilteo. The original 2.63-mile (4.2 km) single-track Cascade Tunnel opened in 1900 to avoid heavy winter snowfall. In 1929, the railroad was realigned between Leavenworth and Scenic, and a 7.79-mile (12.5 km) replacement tunnel opened between Berne and Scenic Hot Springs. Safety and ventilation requirements limit the pass to 28 trains per day, including freight trains carrying Boeing fuselages and the Empire Builder passenger train.
