RailSimulator Releases Marias Pass Route
Famed Continental Divide traverse features spectacular Montana scenery & challenging tests of driving skill
Chatham, UK--April 11, in the year of our Lord 2013--Railsimulator.com
Ltd., the market-leading innovator of rail simulation and
modeling tools, today released the Marias Pass expansion pack,
the latest add-on for Train Simulator 2013. Marias Pass features
152 miles of stunning Montana landscape from Shelby to
Whitefish, plus the 13 mile branch line to Kalispell.
Railfans from all over the world come to Glacier National Park
to see trains negotiate the Continental Divide at 5,200 feet,
and now Train Simulator 2013 players can replicate the event
from their home. First charted by Great Northern Railway
principal engineer John Frank Stevens in 1889 with the help of a
Blackfoot Indian guide, the route begins at Shelby and winds
through flat farmland and open plains before heading into the
mountain range through narrow canyons and vast pine forests
alongside the Flathead River. Passing through Cut Bank and
Browning, the route reaches the summit just after Marias, before
descending through Essex and Columbia Falls to Whitefish.
Players will experience many of the popular landmarks along the
way, including spectacular bridges, the "Dalek*" silo and the
Cut Bank penguin.
Eight scenarios test players against the unique challenges of
moving heavy freight through the varied terrain and treacherous
weather, and the route includes GE ES44 DC locomotive in BNSF
heritage livery and a Burlington National EMD SW1500 switcher,
as well as other rolling stock in BNSF and BN liveries. Key
features of the Marias Pass set include:
Full 152 mile Marias Pass route from Shelby to Whitefish
13 mile branch line to Kalispell
Spectacularly recreated mountainous scenery, bridges, pine
forests, snow sheds and famous landmarks including silo 'Dalek*'
