## About This Content
New emission standards for diesel locomotives in the US introduced in 2005 saw
many new locomotives enter service to replace more ageing fleets, including
the Evolution Series of locomotives and the ES44DC, now available for Train
Simulator.
The first pre-production models of the GE Evolution Series were built in 2003
and were equipped with either AC or DC traction motors, according to the
customer’s request. Four models in the Series were produced for the North
American market, the ES40DC, ES44DC, ES44AC and ES44C4, all with a low
emission four-stroke diesel engine.
The ES44DC replaced the Dash 9-44CW model in GE’s locomotive roster, and are
similar in appearance to the Dash 9 and AC4400CW, although small differences
are evident. In total, more than 1,100 models were built primarily for BNSF,
CSX Transportation and the Canadian National Railway. Barring those damaged in
accidents, the models still continue hauling freight services to this day.
The EMD ES44DC for Train Simulator is available in BNSF Heritage livery and
features dynamic braking, cab lighting, step lights and associated freight
cars, including a coal hopper, pipe flat car and tank car.
The locomotive is also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive
the BNSF ES44DC on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train Simulator, such as
those available through Steam. Also included are scenarios specifically for
the Pacific Surfliner® LA – San Diego route (available separately and required
to play these scenarios).
