This is the Cheyenne 1869 route, one I haven't looked at in a reasonably long time. The route was made by a developer called Smokebox, and is available on Steam:

We start at Cheyenne yard, with the legendary Union Pacific 4-4-0 number 119. This engine - along with the Central Pacific's Jupiter - was present at Promontory Summit (Utah) on May 10th, 1869, the day the Transcontinental Railroad was completed, by means of driving a spike made out of gold.

Today, there is a heritage centre at Promontory Summit, complete with working replicas of Jupiter and 119. As for Cheyenne, it is now a major freight yard for Union Pacific, as well as the location of the UP heritage fleet.

Winding the clock back to 1869, where we see the original 119 in her service days. We use her to take a train of supplies up to Camp Carlin, or - as I like to call it - Camp George Carlin.

The supplies consist of food and water - carried in boxcars and vats on flatcars respectively. The climb to Camp Carlin is a bit challenging. Once you're clear of the junction in Cheyenne, you have to accelerate to at least 21 miles per hour. Then - once you're on the climb itself - keep maintaining speed and boiler pressure so that you don't stall on the hill. No prizes for guessing what happened to me the first time I tried this.

Once at Camp Carlin, we run 119 around the train for the trip back to Cheyenne.
