## About This Content
Picture the Electro-Motive “E-unit.” For an entire generation it was THE
motive power for America’s passenger trains – and now the elegant E-unit
waiting for you in Train Simulator in the form of the EMD E8 in two classic
Amtrak liveries!

When Amtrak was formed as the United States’ intercity passenger carrier in
1971, the company was faced with patching together a fleet of second-hand
locomotives. Amtrak first turned to Electro-Motive’s E8 and its younger
sister, the E9. Amtrak would operate nearly 200 E-units and the stylish EMD
diesels became the workhorses of the early Amtrak era.

The E8 was produced by EMD from 1949 to 1954, and nearly 500 were built. The
E8 derived 2,250-horsepower from a pair of EMD 567-series V-12 power plants,
rode on an A1A-A1A wheel arrangement, and could be geared to operate at up to
117 miles per hour. During Amtrak service, the E8s operated throughout the
country, handling both long-distance trains as well as short-haul services.
Amtrak operated its last E-units into the early 1980s.

The Train Simulator Amtrak E8 is provided in cab and booster configurations
and is available in Amtrak’s original red-nosed “Phase I” livery and stylish
striped “Phase II” scheme. Single- and dual-headlight versions of the E8 are
provided as are “as built” and rebuilt variations.

And there’s even more! Accompanying the E8 is Amtrak passenger equipment ideal
to re-create U. S. passenger trains of the 1970s and early 1980s. Included
with the E8 are an Amtrak baggage car, 48-seat coach, dome-coach, 10-6
sleeper, and diner in Amtrak’s Phase I passenger car livery. The Amtrak E8 DLC
features career scenarios on the Miami – West Palm Beach Route Add-On (route
available separately) and even includes Train Simulator’s popular Seaboard
Coast Line General Electric U36B and freight equipment to provide era-
authentic freight traffic.

Amtrak’s legendary Electro-Motive E8 is ready to highball in Train Simulator
service!
