Train Simulator: Pacific Surfliner LA - San Diego Route

Game description and premise

Train Simulator: Pacific Surfliner LA - San Diego Route is a train simulation game for PC that allows players to operate trains along a 128-mile route between Los Angeles and San Diego. The game focuses on the Pacific Surfliner® service, which includes varied passenger and freight operations. You start operating from downtown Los Angeles' Union Station and travel through distinct areas, including commercial districts, beaches, and suburban settings.

Train operations

The game includes the EMD F59PHI diesel locomotive in Amtrak livery, which is a common sight on many US passenger trains. Players can operate both a driveable Cab Car and the locomotive itself, running the train in a push-pull service format due to the lack of turning facilities at either end of the route. The route features a challenging single track section along the California coastline and a long incline at Miramar Hill.
