Comprar Train Simulator: D&RGW SD9 Loco Add-On PC Key

The EMD SD9 stands out as a powerful six-axle diesel road-switcher from the 1950s, built by Electro-Motive with a 1,750hp V-16 engine for heavy yard duties. This Train Simulator add-on delivers it in Denver & Rio Grande's classic black and orange livery, complete with advanced braking controls tailored for the Soldier Summit route. Players handle local freight transfers and yard switching in the Provo to Ogden areas, hauling mill gondolas as part of the load. Quick Drive compatibility lets you run the locomotive on any supported route. Three scenarios-"Assembling the Road," "Preparing the Mill," and "It's Mill Time"-focus on Soldier Summit operations. Railfans who enjoy detailed simulation of historic North American locomotives find extended play through Steam Workshop content.

As one of the most unique and iconic six axle heavy yard switchers, the EMD SD9 was a popular locomotive among North American railfans.

The EMD SD9 was a 1,750hp six-axle (C-C) diesel road-switcher powered by EMDs highly successful two-stroke 567C V-16 diesel power plant. In total there were 471 SD9s built by Electro-Motive between 1954 and 1959 and was the immediate successor of the very similar, 1,500hp SD7, introduced in 1952.

In basic terms, the SD9 was a lengthened GP9 with six axles rather than the GP9’s four axles. ‘SD’ stood for ‘Special Duty’ and was reflective of the unit’s extra lugging ability and lighter axle loadings that were achievable from using a C-C rather than a B-B wheel arrangement. The SD9s were primarily based from Provo and used as heavy yard switchers and for local and transfer freight services in the Provo, Salt Lake City and Ogden regions.

Denver & Rio Grande owned a total of 10 SD9s as well as five of the earlier SD7s, with all units originally wearing the distinctive traditional black and orange livery with zebra stripe ends, featuring small ‘Rio Grande’ lettering on the sides of the hoods.

The EMD SD9 for Train Simulator is available in Denver & Rio Grande livery and features advanced braking controls scripted specifically for the Soldier Summit route. Also included are mill gondolas as freight traffic.

The locomotive is also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive the D&RGW SD9 on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train Simulator, such as those available through Steam. Also included are scenarios specifically for the Soldier Summit route (available separately and required to play these scenarios).
