## About This Content
Take the throttle of one of the biggest and most distinctive diesel
locomotives ever to serve on America’s railroads – with the Union Pacific
General Electric U50. Authentically created by DTM, the leviathan, eight-axle,
5,000-horsepower, half-a-million-pound Union Pacific GE U50 diesel locomotive
is now available for Train Simulator duty.
As General Electric’s answer to Union Pacific’s call for diesel super power in
the early 1960s, the U50 was massive and memorable. Stretching more than
83-feet long, standing over 16-feet tall, weighing more than half-a-million
pounds, and riding on eight powered axles in a bolstered B+B-B+B wheel
arrangement, the U50 was, for all intents and purposes, two of General
Electric’s landmark U25Bs rolled into one locomotive. Among the features of
the U50s was that the units rode on reconditioned truck and bolster assemblies
from UP’s retired 4500-horsepower “GTEL” gas-turbine locomotives.
Union Pacific purchased a total of 23 U50s.The big diesels worked over much of
UP’s main lines and were often found leading tonnage across the plains of
Nebraska and Kansas and toting freight over famed Sherman Hill. The Union
Pacific retired the last of its U50s in 1977.
The Train Simulator Union Pacific U50 captures in exacting detail the features
of this biggest of all GE “U-boats.” The U50 wears the 1960s “Dependable
Transportation” version of Union Pacific’s time-honoured livery and is
provided in both clean and snow-dressed variations. The DLC pack also includes
an excellent and authentic selection of freight rolling stock, including Union
Pacific’s S-40-16 stock car (loaded and empty); a Pacific Fruit Express
R-70-12 refrigerator car; UP F-70-11 bulkhead flatcar (empty and with three
loads); and Union Pacific’s classic CA-7 steel cupola caboose with operable
marker lights and full interior. Four career scenarios included feature the
U50 at work on the Train Simulator popular Sherman Hill route (route available
separately).
