In 1988, the D&RGW consolidated with the Southern Pacific. The years immediately following were an exceptional time on the famed Soldier Summit route, which became part of SP’s Central Region and Salt Lake Division. During the late 1980s and into the 1990s, Southern Pacific dramatically expanded the rail traffic moving over Soldier Summit and SP and D&RGW locomotives worked side-by-side on the historic and rugged route.
Soldier Summit & Salt Lake City Route Extension Scenario Pack 02, from High Iron Simulations, now brings this exciting and unique railroading era to vibrant and realistic life on Train Simulator’s popular Soldier Summit + Salt Lake City Route Extension!
In ten challenging career scenarios based on authentic Southern Pacific/D&RGW operations and train symbols of the period, you’ll go to work over the 118 miles of legendary railroad stretching from Salt Lake City to Helper, Utah. You’ll be called to handle a variety of duties ranging from hotshot Southern Pacific manifest and intermodal trains to coal drags, locals, switching assignments, and even Amtrak’s elegant California Zephyr.
