## About This Content
Built by General Electric in the 1950s to haul coal for the Virginian Railway,
a group of 3,300-horsepower ignitron rectifier electrics were purchased
second-hand in 1963 by the New Haven Railroad to haul tonnage between New York
City and New Haven, Connecticut. Now, these powerful electrics – designated
EF-4s by the NYNH&H – are ready for Train Simulator duty.
The ignitron rectifier electrics (often called GE E-33s) were purchased by the
New Haven to restore electric freight operations on the railroad’s New Haven –
New York City route. Weighing in at 394,000 and provided 98,500 lbs. of
tractive effort, the road-switcher-style electrics were assigned road numbers
300-310 and dressed in a flashy New Haven vermillion, white, and black livery.
On the NYNH&H, the six-axle (C-C) GE locomotives assumed virtually all
mainline freight operations across the railroad’s electrified territory,
working between Cedar Hill Yard in New Haven, Oak Point Yard in the Bronx, and
Brooklyn’s Bay Ridge Yard. Although they had been constructed as heavy
haulers, the electrics were also capable of quick running, being geared for a
65-mph top speed. By virtually all accounts, the EF-4s served the New Haven
well and were a welcomed assignment by the road crews. Following the New
Haven’s merger into Penn Central, the electrics served PC and eventually
Conrail before being retired in 1981.
Created in extraordinary detail by Partner Programme developer Reppo, the
NYNH&H EF-4 for Train Simulator faithfully recaptures the features and
operating characteristics of this distinctive electric locomotive. The EF-4 is
provided in both “running” and “cold and dark” variations, the latter
featuring a realistic, multi-step start-up process. To provide period-
appropriate equipment to accompany the EF-4, the pack also includes a 40-foot
New Haven boxcar in familiar orange livery, NYNH&H’s classic NE-5 steel cupola
caboose, and, for AI use, a New Haven Electro-Motive GP9. And the pack also
includes four career scenarios for the NEC: New York – New Haven route which
represents much of the ex-New Haven mainline trackage over which the
distinctive and iconic rectifier electrics operated.
