Train Simulator: Experience Big Sky Railroading with the Montana Hi-Line: Shelby - Havre Route Add-On

Venture into the heart of America's "Big Sky Country" with the Train Simulator: Montana Hi-Line: Shelby - Havre Route Add-On! This stunning route brings the eastern segment of BNSF's legendary Hi-Line Subdivision to your screen, offering an unparalleled rail simulation experience. Get ready to immerse yourself in challenging train driving scenarios across the vast and beautiful Montana plains.

The Hi-Line Subdivision, a vital link in BNSF's northern transcontinental mainline connecting Chicago and Seattle, was originally built by James J. Hill's Great Northern Railway in the late 19th century. Now, you can experience the history and modern operations of this iconic railway.

This Train Simulator route spans 108 miles between Havre and Shelby, Montana, both crucial junction and yard locations on the BNSF network. Explore the meticulously recreated Havre maintenance and shops complex, a hub of activity on this bustling line. Engage in realistic railroad operations as you manage freight and passenger traffic.

The Montana Hi-Line features a dynamic mix of single- and double-track main line, constantly alive with intermodal and grain traffic. You'll even encounter Amtrak's Empire Builder passenger train, making scheduled stops at Havre and Shelby. Test your railway engineering skills against demanding conditions: high line speeds (79 mph for passenger, 60 mph for freight), heavy traffic volume, and a sawtooth gradient profile with frequent climbs and drops of up to 1%. Local freight opportunities are plentiful, with grain elevators dotting nearly every station, along with two rapid-loading grain loop tracks at Chester, Montana.

Take the controls of three distinct diesel locomotive types perfectly suited for mainline, local, and switching duties: the BNSF General Electric ES44DC, the Electro-Motive GP38-2 (available in dynamic-brake-equipped and non-dynamic-brake versions), and the EMD SW1500 (in both BNSF and "patched" BN liveries). Experience the authenticity of realistic train simulation.

Developed by the renowned VNH, the Montana Hi-Line route also boasts over 20 types of modern and historically accurate freight cars, including intermodal stack cars, various 3-bay covered grain hoppers, and a unique fuselage flatcar with idler flatcar. Manage your freight train simulation with precision and care.

Bustling, challenging, and visually stunning, the Train Simulator Montana Hi-Line offers countless hours of realistic and enjoyable railroading in the vast expanse of America's Big Sky Country!
