Train Simulator: Relive the Amtrak HHP-8 Era on the Northeast Corridor!

Experience a piece of railway history with the Train Simulator: Amtrak HHP-8 Loco Add-On. This DLC brings the iconic, though short-lived, Amtrak HHP-8 electric locomotive to life, allowing you to master challenging realistic train simulation on the stunning NEC: New York-New Haven route.

The HHP-8 (‘High Horse Power 8000’), built by Bombardier Transportation and Alstom, was designed to revolutionize passenger rail on the Northeast Corridor. Now, you can take the controls of this 8,000hp, twin-cab electric powerhouse and experience its capabilities firsthand. Despite its relatively brief service life, cut short by the ACS-64, the HHP-8 offers a unique and compelling train driving simulation experience that lets you explore complex railway operation challenges.

Operate the HHP-8 across the simulated Northeast Corridor, managing its ability to draw power from three different catenary systems (12.5Kv 25 Hz AC, 12.5Kv 60Hz AC, and 25 kV 60Hz AC) via dual pantographs. Test its speed, limited to 125mph (201 km/h) in line with FRA Tier 1 standards, even though its designed for up to 135 mph!

This realistic train simulator add-on features the HHP-8 in Amtrak’s classic blue and silver livery, packed with authentic details including cruise control, in-cab signalling display with driver vigilance system, switchable display screens, functional cab lights, and flashing ditch lights. Plus, manage raising and lowering the correct pantograph for voltage in the area.

The pack also includes Amfleet I passenger cars, completing the authentic Amtrak experience. Drive the HHP-8 on any Quick Drive enabled route, or tackle the included scenarios designed specifically for the NEC: New York-New Haven route (available separately, scenarios require this route to play).
