## About This Content
The eastern segment of BNSF’s famed and busy Hi-Line Subdivision crosses the
magnificent and fertile high plains of Montana – and the remarkable
experiences of railroading in America’s “Big Sky Country” now comes to Train
Simulator with the Montana Hi-Line route!

The Hi-Line Subdivision is a key part of BNSF’s bustling northern
transcontinental main line stretching between Chicago and Seattle. It was
built in the late 19th century by James J. Hill’s Great Northern Railway and
is the northernmost of the transcontinental railroads in the United States.

The Train Simulator Montana Hi-Line route extends between Havre to Shelby,
Montana, a distance of 108 route miles. Both Havre and Shelby are important
junction and yard locations on the BNSF. Havre is also home to a large
maintenance and shops complex which is masterfully re-created in the route.

The Montana Hi-Line route features a mix of single- and double-track main line
that is host to a constant flow of rail traffic, particularly intermodal and
grain movements. Amtrak’s Empire Builder passenger train also runs on this
line with scheduled stops at Havre and Shelby. High line speeds (79 mph for
passenger and 60 mph for freight), the heavy volume of rail traffic, and a
sawtooth gradient profile with frequent climbs and drops of up to 1% make the
route a real challenge for the engineer! Lineside grain elevators at nearly
every station along the way provide numerous local freight and switching
opportunities and the route also features two rapid-loading grain loop tracks
at Chester, Montana.

The Train Simulator Montana Hi-Line route includes three diesel locomotive
types perfectly suited for mainline, local, and switching operations: The BNSF
General Electric ES44DC; Electro-Motive GP38-2; and EMD SW1500. The GP38-2 is
provided in dynamic-brake-equipped and non-dynamic-brake versions and the
SW1500 is included in BNSF and “patched” BN liveries.

Note: The Montana Hi-Line route is available worldwide. Due to licensing
restrictions, BNSF markings will appear only on content distributed to U. S.
customers.

Created by accomplished route developer VNH, the Montana Hi-Line route also
features more than 20 types of modern and authentic freight cars including
intermodal stack cars, multiple types of 3-bay grain covered hoppers, and a
unique fuselage flatcar with idler flatcar

Bustling, challenging, and scenic, the Train Simulator Montana Hi-Line route
promises you countless realistic and enjoyable railroading experiences amid
America’s Big Sky Country!
