Train Simulator: Conquer the Alaskan Wilderness with the Alaska Railroad: Anchorage - Seward Route Add-On

Experience the majesty and challenges of North American railroading with the Train Simulator: Alaska Railroad: Anchorage - Seward Route Add-On. This stunning route brings the iconic Alaska Railroad to life, allowing you to drive trains through some of the most breathtaking and demanding landscapes in the world.

This add-on features the Alaska Railroad's line from Anchorage to Seward (114 miles) via Portage, along with the crucial line from Portage to Whittier (12 miles). As a train engineer, you'll command powerful locomotives like the Alaska Railroad's Electro-Motive SD70MAC and the versatile GP38-2, both included in this route. Master the art of train simulation as you navigate diverse terrains and challenging operating conditions.

Experience Authentic Alaskan Railroading

The Alaska Railroad: Anchorage - Seward route offers a wide array of realistic and immersive experiences. From hauling massive unit coal trains and manifest freight over the Kenai Mountains to performing yard and lineside industry switching operations in Anchorage, and handling port switching duties in Seward and Whittier, you'll face varied and engaging challenges. The add-on provides a rich and detailed railway simulation experience.

A key aspect of the Alaska Railroad is its reliance on Direct Traffic Control (DTC), as most of the route lacks lineside signals (except around Anchorage and the Whittier Tunnel). This add-on authentically replicates the ARR's DTC operations, where dispatchers use radio transmissions to grant permission for trains to operate within assigned DTC blocks, adding a layer of realism to your train driving experience. You can also experience the modern CTC signaling in and out of Anchorage and Whittier.

Extensive Rolling Stock and Engaging Scenarios

Alongside the ARR Electro-Motive SD70MAC and EMD GP38-2, this route features a variety of authentic freight equipment, including: flatbed container cars, covered hoppers, center-beam flatcars, 4-chute coal hoppers, timber flats, stack cars, piggyback flats, boxcars, tank cars, and the ARR extended-vision cupola caboose. Put them all to work through complex shunting puzzles.

The Train Simulator route includes nine challenging career scenarios that will test your skills and knowledge of the Alaska Railroad. Put your railroad simulator knowledge to the test as you haul freight and navigate the Alaskan wilderness.
