TS2020 Train Simulator PRR Centipede Mail Train Run Workshop
15No Music.. No Talking... Just a PRR Baldwin Centipede Mail Train run on the Horseshoe Curve Route, thanks to High Iron Simulations Workshop! Nice Scenario with plenty of AI train traffic... I really enjoyed it for an 8 year old scenario and content.... old, does not always mean useless.. actually, that's all I buy from Train Simulator.. Older 60% or more discounted items.. The new expensive stuff, will still be "new" to me in 10 years from now at 60% or greater off.. They really should just place anything over 5 years old at 90% off or free.. jus'sayin
The Route Sales Pitch:
The Horseshoe Curve for Train Simulator recreates not only the famous curve, but also the 45-mile stretch from Altoona to Johnstown as it appeared in the mid-1950s. Complete with appropriate PRR locomotives and rolling stock, the Horseshoe Curve also includes scenarios in which unexpected events unfold and allow the player to unlock more missions and rise through the ranks of their fellow engineers. Start off switching in Altoona Yard and progress to driving passenger trains on the main line, and if you do well enough you will be asked to drive the Centenary train!
Includes:
45-mile line from Altoona to Johnstown via the Horseshoe Curve and Gallitzin Tunnels
Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) EMD F7 locomotive 'A' and 'B' units
Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) EMD GP7 locomotive
Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) freight cars and passenger cars
5 free roam scenarios and 6 unlock-able career scenarios - complete one scenario to unlock the next and handle increasingly important tasks, finishing with a special 100th anniversary trip to coincide with a light show over the Horseshoe Curve.
The PRR Baldwin Centipede Sales Pitch:
The Baldwin Centipede was one of the more unusual and heavy diesel locomotives in US railroading history, and now you can drive this heavyweight around the Horseshoe Curve in Train Simulator.
Arguably ahead of its time in terms of design, the Baldwin DR-12-8-1500/2 gained the ‘Centipede’ name from its odd wheel arrangement, so called as it was to have resembled the legs of a centipede. Given its heavy weight and numerous wheel sets, the Centipede offered the highest tractive power of any diesel locomotive in history.
In total, 54 units were produced and used in service by the Pennsylvania Railroad, Seaboard Air Line Railroad and National Railway of Mexico between 1945 and 1948. The Centipede was capable of operating independently or coupled in pairs, something the PRR successfully exploited to haul long passenger and freight trains across its network, including around the famous Horseshoe Curve.
However, the Centipede was beset with problems and by the 1950s most railroads had scrapped their fleet, due in part to their troublesome engines and the damage they caused to the track from their heavy weight.
Developed by Reppo, the PRR Baldwin Centipede is available for Train Simulator in Pennsylvania Railroad black livery. As well as a highly detailed cab interior, the locomotive also features a fully-detailed engine start-up and realistic engine scripting. Also included are a PRR baggage car and PRR dining car, the latter with a finely detailed passenger view.
The Horseshoe Curve Add-On (available separately) is required to play the scenarios included with this Add-On.

The Centipede Mail Run Workshop Scenario Description:
The Pennsylvania, like many US railroads, ran dedicated mail and express trains, often with a rider coach attached for the occasional passenger. You're the engineer of a lengthy PRR westbound mail train, about to depart Altoona and cross the Alleghenies to Johnstown, with stops to pick up mail and express at Gallitzin and Cresson. Your power is a set of Baldwin Centipedes and, as usual, the route is busy with other rail traffic. Duration : 60 mins Difficulty : Medium
All together in sales.. still about 15usd bucks for a route and a 3rd party addon loco and cars.. circa 2011-2012, not great, but not to bad.. with the bonus of an active Workshop. wouldn't spend a penny more though...
"ALWAYS BUY ON SALE, ALWAYS"
and by sale..I mean 65% or better...
