## About This Content
The EMD FL9 was arguably one of the more unique locomotive designs ever
conceived, but plied its trade on New York’s commuter lines for more than 40
years.
Born from a drive to replace worn out and ageing ALCO DL109 and Boxcab
Electric locomotives, New Haven president Patrick McGinnis ordered 60 of EMD’s
FL9 locomotives in 1956 to operate solely on the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad (NH).
The hybrid electro-diesel model was seen as direct competition to the less
popular Fairbanks-Morse dual power P-12-42 locomotive, and was designed
specifically to run under both diesel and electric power to accommodate the
electrified lines running under the East River and into New York’s Grand
Central Terminal.
The FL9 was considered successful, despite being underpowered when compared to
the electric locomotives they replaced, and survived a number of railroad
mergers that saw them eventually retired under Metro-North ownership in 2009.
Despite this, a few FL9s are still in occasional revenue-generating service,
whilst some have been preserved in museum collections.
The EMD FL9 for Train Simulator is available in New Haven ‘McGinnis’ heritage
livery, as operated by the Connecticut Department of Transport in the 2000s.
Features of the model including in-cab signalling as seen on the New York-New
Haven line. Also included are Metro-North Shoreliner III passenger cars with
passenger view, and driveable cab car.
The locomotive is also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive
the New Haven FL9 on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train Simulator, such
as those available through Steam. Also included are scenarios specifically for
the NEC: New York-New Haven route (available separately and required to play
these scenarios).
