## About This Content
Fabulous and famous: The Clinchfield Railroad was one of America’s most
extraordinary railroads. Often called “The Rio Grande of the East” for its
spectacular scenery and challenging mountain railroading, the Clinchfield
Railroad now comes to Train Simulator!

Train Simulator’s Clinchfield Railroad route re-creates the northern portion
of the CRR, where the railroad wove its way through the daunting and
magnificent Appalachian Mountains of eastern Kentucky and western Virginia and
in in the process served a variety of on-line coal mines. The Train Simulator
route represents the Clinchfield as it existed in the early 1980s.

The Clinchfield (which is now CSX’s Kingsport Subdivision) was both an
extraordinary coal hauler and a busy and vital bridge line for manifest
freight traffic, providing a link between the Chesapeake & Ohio on its north
end and the Seaboard Coast Line in the south.

The Train Simulator Clinchfield Railroad route extends from the railroad’s
northern terminus and connection with the C&O at Elkhorn City, Kentucky
approximately 41 miles to St. Paul, Virginia, where the CRR connected with the
Norfolk & Western. Along with Elkhorn City yard, the route includes the busy
and important Dante, Virginia yard and engine terminal complex which served as
the key point of CRR’s coal operations, the 5-mile Haysi branch, the massive
McClure mine complex, various on-line mines and loading tipples, and stunning
and classic CRR locations such as the “Breaks of the Big Sandy,” towering Pool
Point Trestle, and numerous tunnels including the Clinchfield’s famed
7,800-foot-long Sandy Ridge tunnel.

As an engineer on the Train Simulator Clinchfield Railroad route, you’ll take
the throttle of classic first- and second-generation Clinchfield Electro-
Motive diesels to battle heavy tonnage and twisting grades of up to 1.5
percent. Motive power featured with the route includes the venerable EMD GP7
and F7, the workhorse EMD SD40, and the versatile EMD GP38, all in authentic
CRR liveries. And the route also features freight rolling stock, including 70-
and 100-ton coal hoppers, a variety of freight cars to tote tonnage in
manifest freights, and a CRR-liveried caboose.
