Relive the Era of Electric Locomotion with Train Simulator: New Haven E-33 Loco Add-On

In Train Simulator: New Haven E-33 Loco Add-On, players step into the shoes of a train operator commanding the iconic EF-4 electric locomotives.

Offering an authentic look at freight transport during this golden age, this expansion invites players to operate these electric giants across an intricate and detailed game environment.

Detailed Features of the EF-4 Electric Locomotive

This simulation captures the essence of the New Haven E-33, a unit known for its robust design and operational capabilities. Weighing an impressive 394,000 pounds and producing 98,500 lbs. of tractive effort, the EF-4s were vital in carrying heavy freight. These locomotives are modeled with meticulous attention to their real-world characteristics, allowing players to appreciate their historical significance and technical prowess while navigating various challenges in the game.

Whether managing a heavy maintenance train or navigating through busy schedules, players will find each mission both engaging and rewarding.

Authentic Features Enhance Your Experience

The add-on features both "running" and "cold and dark" locomotive versions, enriching the gameplay experience.
