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’. 6d5b4406ea 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 Trainer Download This is a nice route. I recommend it for UP lovers. The ES44AC is very improved. And the SD40-2 has a better horn. So does the ES44AC. It has realistic weather effects. It also has more than one route for each train. I think its going to be in my Top 3 routes at #1. Its the best route ive ever had.. this version of Sherman Hill 2016 will not show up in train simulator any sujestions on why that would be happening. this route is the most realistic from real train sounds to real wagon sounds and horns i recommend this route. Useless f**king route! i thought id go ahead and purchase this route to get some north american flavor, big mistake. while the route itself is stunning, the controls are horrendous. im a conductor in real life and i can tell you whoever programmed this s**tstorm of a download needs to be fired. theres something very wrong with all brakes. the loco (independent) brakes seem to have no effect whether you're engine light or with a train. the train (automatic) brakes always seem to be stuck on "17%" whatever that means, and they only relase when they feel like it. there doesnt seem to be any way to recover from emergency either, except wait it out and the computer will decide your fate for you. the SW engine also seems to have a feature on its train brake that seems like it gives you the opportunity to acuate as well. for those railfans out there that may not know what that means it is a feature ONLY ON A LOCO (independent) brake that allows the engine brakes to release while the train brakes remain applied. why this is on the train brakes i have no idea. also whenever you go thru a turnout (mainline switch) there is no speed limit in the view screen at the bottom, so be prepared to memorize all speeds thru all turnouts. and as stated above, be prepared to apply your train brakes thru said switch and have NO EFFECT other than the stupid game yelling at you while you watch those negative points accumulate. the route itself is pretty scenic, but as for this TRAIN SIMULATOR, very little is actually simulated... Don't buy unless you like being made into a fool by whoever programmed this s**t route. I recommend this route but and the locos are fine besides from the crap horn on the gevo and the sounds on the SD70M but it could have a little more rolling stock included. 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
