## About This Content
The drama and challenges of classic American heavy steam railroading in the
1920s roars into your collection with the extraordinary Bessemer & Lake Erie
route!

Masterfully created by G-TraX, the Bessemer & Lake Erie route brings to life
the B&LE during the heart of the steam era and includes the B&LE’s rugged line
from the shores of Lake Erie at Conneaut, Ohio to North Bessemer,
Pennsylvania, as well as a variety of important B&LE rail yards, secondary
lines, rail interchanges, and coal branches! The entire route has been refined
to give 70 miles of the most entertaining and exhilarating experiences this
railroad has to offer.

The Bessemer & Lake Erie was a railroad created to serve the steel industry
and deliver iron ore from Great Lakes freighters docking at Conneaut Harbor to
steel mills located around Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. B&LE complemented its ore
movements with the haulage of bituminous coal from the mines of western
Pennsylvania, and the railroad also totted its share of general freight and
operated limited passenger services.

Conneaut Harbor was the essence of America in the industrial age. Great Lakes
freighters laden with iron ore arrived at Conneaut and gigantic Hulett
unloaders transferred ore into B&LE hoppers. The Bessemer & Lake Erie route
for Train Simulator re-creates Conneaut in remarkably authentic fashion, right
up to including fully functional Hulett unloaders!

Conneaut is one of five major yard and terminal complexes featured in route.
Albion, Ohio; Butler, Pennsylvania (home to three yards and key railroad
interchanges); and North Bessemer, Pennsylvania (where the B&LE interchanged
with Pittsburgh’s Union Railroad), each host railroad facilities. At B&LE’s
hometown of Greenville, Pennsylvania, the railroad’s expansive facilities
include the line’s erecting, car, and locomotive shops, highlighted by a
transfer table and 17-stall roundhouse. And on a route rich with lineside
industries, among the most important is the massive Standard Steel complex at
Butler, home to steel production, rail car-building, and automobile
production.

To move its tonnage (and passengers), the Bessemer & Lake Erie route includes
two authentic steam locomotives – the B&LE’s venerable 0-6-0 steam switchers
constructed by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1909, and the railroad’s
powerful D-1-A class 2-10-2s built by Baldwin in 1919. And the Bessemer & Lake
Erie route includes an extraordinary selection of period-authentic rolling
stock, with boxcars, flatcars, gondolas, hoppers, refrigerator cars, tank
cars, pickle cars, cabooses, crane cars, and heavyweight baggage, coach, and
commuter coaches all included, many in various liveries and with multiple
loads.

It’s time to experience the famed B&LE – and the memorable and captivating era
of 1920s American steam-era railroading – with the Train Simulator Bessemer &
Lake Erie route!
