## About This Content
The popular EMD SD45 is now available for Train Simulator in three
recognisable liveries of the Norfolk Southern Railway.
Built between 1965 and 1971, the EMD SD45 was most at home hauling high-speed
freight and intermodal services, although could occasionally be seen at the
head of some passenger services. More than 1,200 models were built and
operated services for a number of US railroads, although their reliability
issues make them a rare sight today.
Norfolk Southern’s predecessor railroads date back more than 100 years, with
Norfolk & Western being formed in 1881 and the Southern Railway System forming
in 1894. Norfolk Southern was created in 1982 from the merger of Southern and
Norfolk & Western, with the headquarters of this new company established in
Norfolk, Virginia.
The EMD SD45 for Train Simulator, developed by DigitalTrainModel, is available
in Norfolk Southern, Southern and Norfolk & Western liveries, and features
five new freight wagons, including Airslide Hoppers, 50ft Boxcars, 52ft
Gondolas with three loads, and Caboose. A feature of the Norfolk & Western EMD
SD45 are fully functioning dual controls, which allow the driver to operate
the locomotive in either ‘long hood’ direction or ‘short hood’ direction.
The locomotives are also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to
drive the Norfolk Southern SD45 High Hoods on any Quick Drive enabled route
for Train Simulator, such as those available through Steam. Also included are
scenarios specifically for the Horseshoe Curve route (available separately and
required to play these scenarios).
## Scenarios
Four scenarios for the Horseshoe Curve route:
* Nap time
* Turn in Slope
* Lost among wagons
* Too much rain and very few wagons
More scenarios are available on Steam Workshop online and in-game. Train
Simulator’s Steam Workshop scenarios are free and easy to download, adding
many more hours of exciting gameplay. With scenarios being added daily, why
