Train Simulator: Norfolk Southern Coal District Route Add-On Download For Pc [FULL] http://ssurll.com/1091qx
About This Content The beautifully rural Mon Line running through the heart of Pennsylvania springs to life in this new route for Train Simulator, complete with mile-long coal trains and distinctive street running.The original Monongahela Railroad was a joint venture between the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) and the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad (P&LE). Through the early 1900s, the two companies acquired many lines in the area and by 1930, the Monongahela (‘Mon Line’) was operating more than 170 miles of track serving numerous coal mines.At the heart of Pennsylvania’s coal country, the rural Mon Line is today owned by Norfolk Southern with CSX Transporation also having trackage rights. Coal mines dominate the route, with important facilities at Bailey Mine and Emerald Mine connecting with a staging yard at West Brownsville from where coal trains continue on their way to power stations or to ports for export.More than 20 million tons of coal is annually transported along the line, much of it to Loveridge Secondary where it is transhipped from rail to river barges. The route is primarily made up of four branch lines – Manor, Ten Mile Run, West Brownsville and Loveridge, and includes the unusual spectacle of full size coal trains sharing the public highway with cars along Main Street in West Brownsville.The route is relatively level, following the west bank of the Monongahela river, as far as Millsboro, then Ten Mile Creek to Waynesburg and Emerald Mine. The line then turns north east, closely following the twists and turns of Browns Creek. This final 15 miles to Bailey is completely rural in nature until it reaches the loop at Bailey, when the dominant coal industries take over.Included with the 50 mile section of the Mon Line from Bailey Mine to West Brownsville for Train Simulator is a Norfolk Southern-liveried ES44AC diesel locomotive, part of GE’s Evolution Series. Its mammoth 4,400 horsepower and 75mph top speed make it an ideal locomotive to head the long coal trains seen on the Mon Line. Engineers can also create their own coal loads at Bailey Mine and Emerald Mine with working coal loading facilities, and experience the rail served businesses along the east bank of the Monongahela River, including a metal recycling yard north of Brownsville, river barge repair and construction yard to the south, and a rail/river coal transhipment facility at Alicia.ScenariosSeven scenarios for the route:Training: ES44AC Expert ControlsTraining: ES44AC Simple ControlsRunning the ManorEmerald Coal RunPower SupplyMonumental (Part I and II)More scenarios are available on Steam Workshop online and in-game.

This is a great route, deal and scenery are good. My only complaint is some of the scenerios don't work.. I got 75% off in a sale in 2018 , there is alot of great reveiws and i now know why , its fantastic i loved it. This is an interesting route and the loco sounds have improved since cajon pass\/US Loco and asset pack. But there are good and bad things to talk about here. PROS-The route is highly detailed and the loco looks awesome anywhere.The route is split into to lines and is incredible each wayThe scenarios are good and fun.CONS- The coal wagons are very laggy and makes everything go slowScenario MOMUMENT PART1 has a lot of faults in its codingWould I recommend?Just. Another DLC where a career mode scenario is broken and has been for years despite being easily fixable.. I have just recently purchased this route (4\/24\/15), and I must say that ALREADY this is one of my favorite routes, and let me tell you why!Route itself:The route itself is a perfect length, not to long, not to short! The speeds on the line vary anywhere from 10 MPH (the town of Brownsville) to 40 MPH. The slow(ish) speeds in certain places really give you the chance to look around and admire the scenery that RSC apparently took their time with. The scenery looks very full, with lots of trees and small details. The route does require a fairly decent system, due to the detail, but I tweaked my graphics a little and managed to get it to around 25 FPS average. As pointed out by a real-life engineer, the route also features prototypical super-elevation on the corners.Rolling Stock:This was where the route took a downturn. The locomotives included are the Norfolk Southern C44-9W (most of you probably have this already from the orig RSC D9 pack), and a Norfolk Southern ES44DC (basically a reskin of the NS Heritage GEVO). The Dash 9 has, of course, the default ES44 sounds that we have all come to know and hate. The ES44 has the same soundset as the Heritage ES44's, which is not great, but far more realistic than the origional ES44 sounds. The worst feature of the rolling stock is that the route comes with only 1 TYPE of car, and that is a coal hopper. I know that there is alot of coal on this line, but there is definitly MORE than just coal in real life.Scenarios:The scenarios were okay, to start. There are 5 career scenarios, no standard scenarios, and no free roam scenarios. The 5 scenarios that are included utilize JUST the ES44, and there are no scenarios using the Dash 9. The scenarios themselves were alright, though they seem to be very similar to each other, and were very rushed. For example, I was going the speed limit on one scenario, and I ended up being 45 seconds late and getting 36 points chopped off my score :P. Good thing there are quite a few workshop scenarios for this route.Overall, I do like this route, but I do wish that it came with a little more variety. If you are more into the scenery than the rolling stock, then this is a must have! I give this route a total score of 8\/10.. Where to start with this interesting route. It's a slow paced run 'max speed is 25mph I think' there is alot of twists and turns and a chance to drive down a town street but saving is ideal with the slow and long runs. The scenery is lush and vibrant and disused structures add to the atmosphere.Included are the expected coal cars, the ES44AC in NS livery and the Dash 9 in NS livery but is Ai only. Seven scenarios are included but two are tutorials so they don't really count but all up there's over 300min to keep you busy. There's a reasonable amount of DLC and scenario making possiblities.There are some down points but some mostly involve recent updates to the route not long ago. First is the brakes, as an attempt to add realism and or challenge DTG has started to re-do the brakes on US loco's and wagons with an adjustable difficulty of between 1 and 3. With this in place the trains can be harder to control on the rollercoaster grades to be found and rough handling will result in a broken coupler. This is effectively a game over as most attempts to rejoin the train result in the stationary wagons suddenly gather speed and slam into the player derailing them.The second involves a recent update causing one scenario to become unplayable as a AI loco refuses to move blocking the player. So far a fix to this hasn't come forth yet or ever will.Despite it's Classic label the $19.99 is still hard to justify considering the problems and numerous additional DLC. I wouldn't really recommend this route unless you need the assets for the workshop or if you are a determined scenario builder. Since I got it for free I did save a few bucks as there's is no way I would have bought this route on my own accord.5\/10. It is a shame that more than a year and a half after release the dynamic brake sound loop issue is still nor fixed on the Norfolk Southern ES44AC locomotive that comes with the route.
