The SP&S E-1 Class ‘Northerns’ add a touch of nostalgia to Train Simulator –
jump in the cab and recreate that 1930s West Coast flavour.
After many years of operating second-hand locomotives, the Spokane, Portland
and Seattle Railway (SP&S) was granted permission by its parent companies, the
Great Northern Railway and Northern Pacific Railway, to acquire its first new
locomotives. In 1938, the SP&S took delivery of three Baldwin Locomotive Works
4-8-4 locomotives, numbered 700, 701 and 702. These locomotives, designated as
E-1 Class ‘ Northerns’, were identical in design to the Northern Pacific A-3,
except that they burned oil instead of coal.
The ‘Northerns’ operated at a tractive effort of 69,800 lbf (310.49kN) and
included a Walschaerts valve gear, piston valves and two cylinders. On
entering service, they operated the SP&S’ premier passenger services,
including the Empire Builder, although by the late 1940s had been moved to
secondary passenger services due to the introduction of diesel locomotives and
by the mid-1950s were relegated to freight services.
By Summer 1956, all three ‘Northerns’ had been retired from service, with No.
700 pulling its last passenger train from Portland, Oregon to Wishram,
Washington on 20th May 1956. This locomotive is the only one of the three
‘Northerns’ to have been preserved and can be viewed at the Oregon Rail
Heritage Center.
The E-1 Class ‘Northerns’ from Train Simulator, developed by G-Trax
Simulations, is available in SP&S livery with two running numbers, No. 700 and
No. 701.
The locomotive is Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive the
SP&S E-1 Class ‘Northerns’ on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train
Simulator, such as those available through Steam.
