About This Content At a time when US locomotive builders were vying for more horsepower, General Motors’ Electro-Motive Division introduced the new generation GP30 that was later to become a hugely successful diesel-electric locomotive for many US Class I railroads.Seen as the answer to competitors’ more powerful diesel locomotives, General Motors’ EMD GP30 was considered one of the first so-called ‘second generation’ diesel locomotives produced by the company. General Electric had already stolen the march on 2,500hp locomotives with its U25B, and although the GP20 was only rated at 2,250hp, EMD traded on its reputation to sell units to US railroads.In total, 948 models were built between July 1961 and November 1963 for railroads in the US and Canada, including 40 cabless B units for the Union Pacific Railroad. Some elements of the earlier GP20 were carried across, although the GP30’s trademark ‘hump’ and cab roof profile made it stand out from other similar diesel locomotives.A number of GP30s remain in service today in their original or rebuilt form, with 17 models currently preserved, some still in operational condition.The EMD GP30 for Train Simulator, developed by DigitalTrainModel, is available in Union Pacific livery and features opening cab doors and windows, cab lights, a strobe light, numberboard lights and platform lights. A cabless 'B' unit is also included to recreate prototypical workings, alongside a number of freight cars such as 40ft Airslide Hoppers, 50ft Boxcars, Flatcars with loads, Hopper Grains, a Caboose and 70ton Coal Hoppers.The locomotive is also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive the Union Pacific GP30 on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train Simulator, such as those available through Steam. Also included are scenarios specifically for the Sherman Hill route (available separately and required to play these scenarios).ScenariosFour scenarios for the Sherman Hill route:Break in ShermanCement and Coal to DenverEmpty Stock to GraniteOutside CheyenneMore scenarios are available on Steam Workshop online and in-game.

I love this locomotive alot! It looks great and it's got good engine sounds. I don't exactly like the horn but it's a good one. It's got all the usual fetures DTM has(opening doors and windows, etc). Lots of great rollingstock is included: 89ft TOFC cars, airslide hoppers, 70 ton coal gons, boxcars and grain hoppers along with a cabless GP30 B unit. I recomend this add-on!. This is a great loco (in my opinion) because it comes with some good rollingstock great sounds and an ability to make some cooler lashups. It does have some problems though same as all dlc. All in all i would recommend it to anyone.. Engine is OK, but scenario "Outside Cheyenne" is really bad. It's not possible to be on time and don't get the timeliness penalty even if you keep carefully the speed limit. I got hundreds of minus points.But what is much worse, is the end of this scenario! All time the switches are set automatically for me, but at the Cheyenne siding I had to throw some switch myself but wasn't warned about this at all. So I have seen a message "Player train has left path. Game over in 60 seconds." I haven't to say you can do anything with this at this moment, because it's not enough of time.. Excellent Locomotive. Has some great features, cab light, beacon, windows open, etc. Already used this in a couple of scenarios I already had... I love this DLC this is my second favorite DLC my first being the FEF-3 by smokebox. This is one of the most realalistic American DLCs made for the is game. I recomend this DLC!. This classic marvel of EMD is a need-to-buy for this game. This representation is very fine and well done. I love running the Super Van train from Elphaba's workshop scenario along with other cars. This model might have some flaws, but the fine details make up for that. This fine engine doesn't come alone though, it has a B-Unit and classic freight cars. The freight cars (All UP liveries) included are 2 50ft Double-door boxcars (Basic Brown and "We Can Handle It" Yellow), A 40ft air-slide hopper, a 70ton hopper, a TOFC flat car with 5 loads (All UP, UP-Blank, All Blank, Blank-UP, and unloaded), a modern grain hopper, and the ever so classic CA-4 Caboose. This pack is a recommend for Sherman Hill.
