This is a physics and throttle mod for the UP U50 created by Digital Train Model (DTM).
As a bonus, it also includes a Leslie RS5T-RF and an early GE Steel Bell (credit to Stephen Bulla), and Krellnut's Freight Car sounds for the freight cars.

Overall pretty nice. My only issue is the horn sticks if using the space bar. If you start the horn with the space bar, you have to manually go to the cab and click on the horn, or pull up the F4 HUD and click the horn there.
That's weird! I've never had that issue before. I've always used the spacebar for the horn without any issues.

Update: I corrected the Simulation to where the brakes release at 90 PSI. Previously, I had forgotten to check the brake physics, and it seemed like the brakes were fully released around 75 PSI or so, which was incorrect.
thanks for making this. it definitely needed it a lot. will your other fixes that were on RWA be posted here as well?
Maybe, but I'm not sure.
