After the Union Pacific merger in 1996, Tennessee Pass slowly lost traffic over the next year until the final train ran in August 1997. While brief, the time of UP's rule over this incredible route was super unique and cool, with a massive number of paint schemes and locomotives from the 1960s to fresh off the factory floor slugging it out over the Pass. In this scenario, it is May 15th 1997, and the Pass only has 3 months of life left in it. You are in charge of symbol MROKS-15, a manifest originating in Salt Lake and going to Kansas City. On the head end, you have two SD40-2s, an SD40T-2, and an AC4400CW, representing 2 completly different eras of railroading and 3 seperate railroads from all over the country. In three parts you will pull your 93 car train up the steep west slope and speed down the east slope.
This scenario has scripted dynamic AP weather, matched to the real weather data from May 15th 1997 (sheesh, talk about rivet counting!). If you don't own AP Sky and Weather 2.0 you will just see the default weather.
Part 1 goes from Minturn to Tennessee Pass. 80 minutes.
Part 2 goes from Tennessee Pass to Americus. 60 minutes.
Part 3 goes from Americus to Salida. 50 minutes.
(Remember, you can't use save and load with this loco, so you have to do each scenario in one sitting)
As usual, payware requirements are listed below. Everything else is freeware (and theres a LOT of it), and listed in the manuel, as is more prototype/scenario information.
