The year 2021 marked Amtrak’s 50th Anniversary in serving as America’s national intercity passenger railroad and Amtrak decided to celebrate – in style and steel – rolling out a fleet of six specially painted locomotives which have delighted travelers and railroad enthusiasts alike.

Now, a beautiful selection of Amtrak’s special livery Anniversary diesels comes to Train Simulator – and for the next seven days, you can add these flashy locomotives to your collection FREE (after this bonus period, the DLC will be priced at £11.99/€13.99/$19.99).

Five of Amtrak’s 50th Anniversary commemorative locomotives are General Electric P42DC diesels, the stylish and powerful 4,200-horsepower diesel that has served as the standard-bearer of Amtrak diesel-powered services over the past quarter-century – and in the new Amtrak 50th Anniversary Pack, the popular Train Simulator GE P42DC is dressed in each of the five striking and historic schemes.

The Amtrak 50th Anniversary Pack for Train Simulator includes each of these distinctive locomotives:

P42DC No. 46 in “Phase V 50th” livery, wearing Amtrak’s present-day standard livery with special commemorative logos.
P42DC No. 100 in a striking, one of a kind “Midnight Blue” livery honoring the commitment and contributions of Amtrak’s employees.
P42DC No. 108 in red and blue “Phase VI” livery, an adaptation of Amtrak’s newest scheme applied to the P42DC.
P42DC No. 161 in “Phase I” livery, Amtrak’s original and now classic standard livery first introduced in 1972.
P42DC No. 160 in the striking bold and unique livery originally first applied to Amtrak’s General Electric Dash 8-32BWH diesels in 1991.

In the Train Simulator Amtrak 50th Anniversary Pack, the special commemorative locomotives are superbly and authentically re-created. Along with the P42DC, the pack includes a complete set of Amtrak Superliner equipment and a selection of four realistic and challenging career scenarios created by High Iron Simulations and hosted on the Train Simulator Miami-West Palm Beach route (route available separately).

In addition to realistically working in the included career scenarios on the Miami-West Palm Beach route, the Amtrak 50th Anniversary P42DCs will be a perfect and ideal fit for use on a wide variety of popular Train Simulator routes from coast to coast!
