TS: Class 325

## Description

### Steam Store Description

The Class 325 is a striking dual-mode electric train, ideal for high-speed
mail haulage in Train Simulator.

Looking like a freight version of the familiar ‘Networker’ classes, the Class
325 is a purpose-built electric mail train capable of running on 25,000-volt
AC overhead lines or 750-volt DC third-rail lines, depending on where it is
operating. It is based on the Class 319 dual-voltage EMU and was introduced in
1995 to carry parcels on electrified lines, and intended to replace the older
generation of locomotive-hauled mail trains. Visually, the most striking
feature is the presence of roller-shutter doors instead of sliding passenger
doors, and of course the lack of windows. Commonly seen operating along the
West Coast Mainline, East Coast Mainline and Edinburgh-Glasgow line, the Class
325 can carry up to 12 tons of mail in each car at speeds up to 100mph. The
use of mail trains has been subject to regular policy changes in the last few
years, but Class 325s still run several times a day in either 4, 8 or 12-car
configurations. For Train Simulator, the Class 325 EMU mail train includes
opening side shutters, parcel trolleys and dual-voltage pick-ups like the real
thing.
