## About This Content
The Southern Pacific Cab Forward is a classic oil-burner from the glory days
of US Steam, and now you can drive this distinctive heavyweight over the
Donner Pass in Train Simulator.
The Donner Pass route became ever more important as California’s economy grew,
and the Southern Pacific Railroad soon found that more power was needed to
haul increasingly heavy trains through the Sierra Nevada. 2-8-8-2 Mallet
locomotives answered the call, but the route’s many long tunnels and snow
sheds caused new problems: locomotive cabs were filling with fumes from the
smokestack while inside the tunnels, so the solution was to build a locomotive
with the cab at the front – the ‘Cab Forward’. It may sound simple, but the
design required a number of complex technical solutions: the oil-fired firebox
was mounted at the leading end of the boiler, so it was supplied with oil via
low-pressure pipework running all the way from the rear tender.
The Cab Forward for Train Simulator represents the (Articulated Consolidation)
