## About This Content
Chicago, Illinois is “America’s Railroad Capital,” and among the numerous rail
routes extending from “the Windy City,” few if any are more famous or vibrant
that the “Racetrack” that extends west from Chicago Union Station to Aurora,
Illinois.
Once a property of the Burlington Route (CB&Q), the Racetrack became part of
Burlington Northern in 1970 and then a component of BNSF in 1995. Today, the
line is the Chicago Subdivision of BNSF and it is renowned for its constant
flow of intermodal, freight, commuter, and intercity passenger trains along
its fast three-track main line.
Now, in High Iron Simulations’ highly realistic and action-filled Chicago
Racetrack Scenario Pack 01, you’ll experience the full vigor and unbridled
excitement of Chicago railroading! In ten career scenarios based upon actual
railroad operations and train symbols, you will:
* Serve as engineer of a high priority BNSF transcontinental stack train.
* Handle heavy tonnage working BNSF manifest freights and transfer operations.
* Work a local freight and handle switching duties on BNSF’s West Chicago Branch.
* Keep to challenging schedules as engineer of Chicago Commuter rush-hour trains on the Racetrack between Chicago Union Station and Aurora.
* Take the controls of Amtrak’s legendary Southwest Chief on a wintry afternoon.
* Manage Amtrak switching duties at Amtrak’s busy Chicago 14th Street complex.
* And you’ll work as engineer aboard modern, high-horsepower Norfolk Southern and CSX diesels working “run-through” freight and unit oil trains on the Racetrack!
