GE Evolution Series ES44AC locomotives power this simulation DLC with five Norfolk Southern Heritage liveries, including Conrail, Southern Railway, Central of Georgia, Interstate, and Norfolk Southern. These 4,400 hp diesel units feature AC traction motors and GEVO engines built to U.S. EPA Tier 2 emissions standards. Operate them in detailed rail scenarios on PC.
Animated driver's cabin, wipers, windows, rear door, and fans bring the cabs to life, alongside functional displays for distance, traction, fuel, brakes, throttle, and warning lights. Custom sounds, head and ditchlights, crossing light support with 30-second auto bell, ACS coupling, three weathering options for loco and bogies, and dynamic fuel consumption add realism-fuel can even run out if enabled. Train simulation fans who crave authentic locomotive handling and visual details will run these heritage units for hours.
The Evolution Series is a line of diesel locomotives built by GE Transportation Systems, initially designed to meet the U.S. EPA's Tier 2 locomotive emissions standards that took effect in 2005. The first pre-production units were built in 2003. Evolution Series locomotives are equipped with either AC or DC traction motors, depending on the customer's preference. All are powered by the GE GEVO engine.
The ES44AC (Evolution Series, 4,400 hp, AC traction) replaced the AC4400CW model in the General Electric catalogue. These locomotives have been ordered by every Class I railroad in North America.
This dlc features the ES44AC in five Norfolk Southern Heritage liveries.
