Train Simulator: Sherman Hill Route Add-On Download] [key Serial Number]

Updated: Mar 22, 2020





















































About This Content Sherman Hill is a fantastic North American freight route, and now you can be the engineer on your own trains on this great railroad line in Train Simulator. Running 60 miles between Cheyenne and Laramie, Wyoming, the route is well-known for the tough grades which resulted in the Union Pacific Railroad building new heavy freight locomotives to work the line. The first single track railroad was laid in 1868, passing over the summit at 8,247 feet, and the route was steadily upgraded with double tracks and stronger bridges in the following decades. The Sherman Hill route for Train Simulator features a superb fleet of Union Pacific diesel locomotives including the SD70M, SD40-2, ES44C and SW10, plus some seriously long freight trains for you to haul over the grades. Six scenarios will help you explore this great railroad line, and drivers also have the option of taking Track #3 to Laramie.Includes:Sherman Hill route from Laramie to Cheyenne, Wyoming featuring Track #3 and the famous Dale Rocks, plus realistic storm effects. Union Pacific ES44AC, SD70M, SD40-2 and SW10 locomotives and appropriate rolling stock.6 scenarios:Introduction to Sherman HillWelcome to CheyenneGranite via WyconRunning the #3 TrackThe Midnight Magnet Arrival of the ThunderheadsOur thanks to Train Simulator player Tim Major who suggested the concept for ‘The Midnight Magnet’. 7aa9394dea Title: Train Simulator: Sherman Hill Route Add-OnGenre: SimulationDeveloper:Dovetail GamesPublisher:Dovetail Games - TrainsFranchise:Train SimulatorRelease Date: 20 Sep, 2012 Train Simulator: Sherman Hill Route Add-On Download] [key Serial Number] one word, great. This route is my favorite Union Pacific route for TS. Running at about 60 miles from Cheyenne to Laramie in Wyoming, the route offer plenty of heavy freight hauling up the grades. An alternate route(via Track #3) runs an additional 9 miles between the two cities with lighter grades. Starting at Cheyenne, you've got a huge yard with sidings, oil refinery and maintenance shops. Heaidng out of Cheyenne Tracks 1, 2, and 3 run side by side a short distance unti Wycon, where a fertilizer plant is situated. Heading up further Tracks 1 and 2 are linked back to #3 via Borie-Cut-off. After that the #3 is isolated from 1 and 2 until Dale. En-route to Dale, challeging grades lie ahead wih the summit of Sherman Hill, the highest area on the Transcontinental RR then it is downhill. Ate Dale Track #3 rejoins 1 and 2 then a short distance ahead #3 diverges back out heading to Laramie via Red Buttes. After Hermosa it is all smooth running through the scenery until Laramie, where another yard is located and a cement plant just outside town on Track #3. Included is 4 engines, a ES44AC, SD70M, SD40-2 and SW10 Switcher #96. Lots of rolling stock in it as well. I recommend this fantastic route!. The route is a typical American Freight route through a deserted scenery. At first this seems a bit dull, but when you play every tree, every rock, every house has significance. There is a lot of rolling stock included witht e the route and a fair number of scenarios are available, especiaaly if you take care to complete your UP rolling stock collection. Some scenarios use the extended weather patterns with lightning, thunder and heavy rain. If you like shuning, there are some large yards.. This route came bundled with TS2013 so I got it by defult, I would not have picked it out of choice .... I did have a go at driving it once but I nodded off after about 20 minutes and didnt bother with it again.I cannot condemn a route just because i find it boring, its personal choice not a failing of the DLC, Clearly lots of people like routes like this.If you like driving long freight trains slowly through endless desert then this DLC may be for you.. This route is rather fast, and part of the first transcontinental railway. Its pretty detailed, but the throttle on the EMD SD70M doesn't work, which is a major bummer, the SD70 is one of my favorite engines. I like the new horns on the EMD SD40-2 and the GE ES44AC. Also comes with a SW10 switcher that's pretty descent.Pros: -New Horns. -Very fast and detailed. -Part of the first Transcon, and is easily able to be 2015, or 1950 and every time in between. -Updated Sounds. Awsome. -Inproved Big Boy 4-8-8-4.Cons: -The double-stack cars aren't realistic -Some of the rocks are a little sketchy -Really boring for people with either no attention span, or aren't used to American trains.Over all its a good rout for fans of the Union Pacific Railway. If there was a voting system, I would give it 7.5\/10. Nice, atmospheric add-on for sure. If you buy it in the TS2016 edition, or otherwise get the Gas Turbine, you get 15 extra scenarios.However, there are quite frequent issues with the scenarios, cars and locos included with this pack (there is a thread or two every week on the forums). Trains get separated, the brakes get stuck, timings are off, switches set wrong or just an emergency penalty while rolling with released brakes. It's really hard to enjoy the otherwise cool six-pack of scenarios when it is so shaken and full of bugs.If you decide to play this - save often.. Union Pacific. one word, great
