Now available, CSX Scenario Pack 02, from acclaimed developer High Iron Simulations, brings the drama and diversity of CSX to Train Simulator with ten authentic career scenarios that re-create the captivating railroading of CSX and its predecessors across the decades and on three popular Train Simulator routes!

With the new CSX Scenario Pack 02, you’ll experience realistic and challenging freight railroading on the B&O Mountain Subdivision: Cumberland - Grafton route; CSX Hanover Subdivision: Hanover - Hagerstown route; and Clinchfield Railroad: Elkhorn City - St. Paul route, and you’ll climb aboard four types of CSX second- and third-generation CSX diesel locomotives!

In ten career scenarios that range in era from the early days of CSX to contemporary operations, the experiences that await you in CSX Scenario Pack 02 include:

On the extraordinary Train Simulator B&O Mountain Subdivision: Cumberland - Grafton route, you’ll handle heavy coal tonnage through the Alleghenies with CSX EMD SD45-2s, tote empty coal gondolas with GE’s massive AC6000CWs, and work local and switching duty aboard one of CSX’s unique SD40-3 rebuilt diesels.
On the scenic Clinchfield route deep in the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky and Virginia, you’ll recall CSX predecessors Clinchfield, Family Lines, and Seaboard Coast Line as you battle heavy coal tonnage and take the throttle of Clinchfield’s famed Train 97, the “Florida Perishable” fast freight.
On the history-rich CSX Hanover Subdivision in Pennsylvania and Maryland, you’ll handle manifest freight traffic, lug a heavy “Rock Runner” stone train, and work local duties aboard EMD SD45-2, GE Dash 8-40CW, and rebuilt SD40-3 locomotives.

The ten career scenarios of CSX Scenario Pack 02, based closely on actual railroad operations and train symbols, provide a remarkable opportunity to experience realistic CSX freight railroading across the nearly four decades since the super railroad was created in 1986.

Note: For full use, this scenario pack requires the Train Simulator B&O Mountain Subdivision: Cumberland - Grafton Route Add-On; CSX Hanover Subdivision: Hanover - Hagerstown Route Add-On; Clinchfield Railroad: Elkhorn City - St. Paul Route Add-On; Miami - West Palm Beach Route Add-On; CSX SD45-2 Loco Add-On; and CSX AC6000CW Loco Add-On.

Now available from High Iron Simulations, CSX Scenario Pack 02 brings the drama of CSX to Train Simulator with ten authentic career scenarios that re-create the railroading of CSX and its predecessors across the decades and on three popular Train Simulator routes! With a heavy train of coal off the Fairmont Subdivision, a trio of CSX EMD SD45-2s are pulling eastbound past D Tower and onto the legendary Mountain Subdivision at Grafton, West Virginia.

Lugging empties back to the mines of West Virginia, a pair of behemoth CSX GE AC4400CWs are working west on the B&O Mountain Subdivision’s tough and steep 17-Mile Grade. With the new CSX Scenario Pack 02, you’ll take the throttle of four types of potent CSX second- and third-generation GE and EMD CSX diesel locomotives.

A duo of CSX SD40-3 rebuilt diesels switch the ex-Western Maryland yard at West Virginia Junction along the banks of the Potomac River on the B&O Mountain Subdivision route. The ten career scenarios of CSX Scenario Pack 02 provide the opportunity to experience CSX freight railroading across the nearly four decades since the railroad was created in 1986 and right through the current era.

The now-available CSX Scenario Pack 02 will also give you the chance to relive several of CSX’s memorable predecessor roads. On the Clinchfield route, a trio of EMD SD45-2s dressed in Family Lines and CRR liveries wait on the New McClure Branch as a main line train passes.

On a snowy morning at Elkhorn City, Kentucky, a set of C&O and Chessie System diesels has just been cut off a coal drag and replaced with black Clinchfield diesels (above), and a brief time later, the CRR power rolls onto Pool Point Trestle (below). The ten career scenarios of CSX Scenario Pack 02 are based closely on actual railroad operations and train symbols.

Prior to both roads being rolled into CSX, the Seaboard Coast Line was the parent of the Clinchfield, and its power often visited the Appalachians. A Seaboard Coast Line EMD SD45-2 is on the point of CRR’s priority Train No. 97, the “Florida Perishable,” as the train passes the famed Dante (Virginia) First Baptist Church.

A pair of husky GEs – a AC6000CW and Dash 8-40CW – are lugging a heavy “Rock Runner” stone train through the namesake city of the CSX Hanover route (above), while during an earlier era, a CSX blue-and-gray clad SD45-2 and Family Lines-dressed sister team up on an eastbound manifest on the Hanover Subdivision near Smithsburg, Maryland (below).

Rain is falling as CSX SD40-3 4021 eases past the ornate and historic depot at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Climb aboard, take the throttle, and experience the extraordinary railroading of one of America’s railroading titans – with High Iron Simulations’ new action-packed CSX Scenario Pack 02, now available at the Steam and Dovetail Games stores!
