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 Addons Long trains, good uphill drags, no discernible problems except engine sounds, but hey that's a given.The locos provided are OK, whinges others have made about brakes seem not to be an issue as all stopped at a reasonable pace, keeping in mind that with 80 cars, things do take a while. So, if you gauge yourself carefully and keep in mind long stopping distances, all is fine.The scenery is a bit repetitive, but then this is the prairie not Vegas, so it is fairly represented.The scenarios are all easily accomplished with no issues, although some of the jumping around picking up cars at the outset adds nothing to the scenario itself, especially at the speeds required to accomplish.All in all a good DLC that provides some fun with quick drive and lots of opportunities if you create a free roam scenario or two. One thing, I do like the lightning flashes and thunder cracks in the scenarios that feature stormy weather, they add that little bit extra.Get it on sale, it's a good route.. 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.. 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.. one word, great. 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.
