## About This Content
Canada’s first transcontinental railway through the dramatic Rocky Mountains
comes to life in this beautiful new route for Train Simulator, featuring
imposing mountain passes, steep gradients and famous spiral tunnels.

The Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) was originally built between British
Columbia and Eastern Canada in the 1880s, fulfilling a promise extended to
British Columbia when it became part of the Canadian Confederation in 1871.
The route was originally planned to run further north than where it was
eventually built, primarily to prevent American railroads running through
Canada. However, this presented engineers with a challenging project to
navigate steep gradients and imposing mountain passes.

The CPR was completed in 1885 but as traffic grew, the 4.5% grades of Kicking
Horse Pass, west of Calgary, became unmanageable, as well as heavy avalanches
that constantly disrupted operations along the line. As a result, a series of
tunnels were built through the mountains and, using the famous Gotthard line
in Switzerland as their inspiration, CPR’s engineers constructed a number of
spiral tunnels to reduce the steep grades along the line.

Today, the modern-day 155 mile (250km) route for Train Simulator between
Revelstoke and Lake Louise, through the imposing Rocky Mountains, is part of
the busy transcontinental railway that sees almost exclusively a busy mix of
freight traffic, including coal, potash, sulphur, grain, manifest freight and
double stack container wagons. Scheduled passenger trains on the route were
discontinued in 1991, but during the summer, the line sees the Rocky
Mountaineer tourist train.

The Canadian Mountain Passes route for Train Simulator begins 10 miles east of
Lake Louise at Eldon and follows the Bow River to Morant’s Curve, a famous
location for railfans and photographers. At Lake Louise, the track splits and
runs on grades up to 1.8% to Stephen, at the summit of Kicking Horse Pass.

As the line descends to Golden, the first of the route’s famous spiral tunnels
is navigated, descending on a much gentler 2.2% grade than the original line
carried. Just south of Golden, the main yard sees busy coal traffic load and
unload daily, with double tracks from Golden to Revelstoke to accommodate the
constant flow of heavy coal traffic.

For a short distance, the line follows the Columbia River as it flows
northwards through the Rocky Mountain Trench – engineers get brief respite on
this flat section of the route, before the line turns away at Beavermouth and
starts the climb up Rogers Pass. This climb features some of the route’s most
spectacular scenery, including the Stone Creek Trestle Bridge, a favourite
spot for photographers, Connaught Tunnel and the nine-mile (15km) long Mount
MacDonald Tunnel.

Included with the route is the GE ES44AC diesel locomotive in Canadian
Pacific® livery, which features new air braking with adjustable difficulty
offering more realistic behaviour for heavy freight trains than ever before –
bringing a 10,000t freight train down a 2.2% grade has never been more
challenging in Train Simulator! Also included are a number of loaded and
unloaded freight cars, including an Auto Rack, Coal Hopper, Gondola Car,
Container Double Stack Car, Grain Hopper, 50ft Box Car, Double Door Box Car,
4-Chute Covered Hopper, Potash Car and Tank Car.

Developed by Milepost Simulations, Canadian Mountain Passes: Revelstoke-Lake
Louise is a stunning route through the beautiful and famous Rocky Mountains,
that will challenge even the most experienced of engineers with its steep
gradients and heavy freight loads.
