About This ContentPicture the Electro-Motive “E-unit.” For an entire generation it was THE motive power for America’s passenger trains – and now the elegant E-unit waiting for you in Train Simulator in the form of the EMD E8 in two classic Amtrak liveries!When Amtrak was formed as the United States’ intercity passenger carrier in 1971, the company was faced with patching together a fleet of second-hand locomotives. Amtrak first turned to Electro-Motive’s E8 and its younger sister, the E9. Amtrak would operate nearly 200 E-units and the stylish EMD diesels became the workhorses of the early Amtrak era. The E8 was produced by EMD from 1949 to 1954, and nearly 500 were built. The E8 derived 2,250-horsepower from a pair of EMD 567-series V-12 power plants, rode on an A1A-A1A wheel arrangement, and could be geared to operate at up to 117 miles per hour. During Amtrak service, the E8s operated throughout the country, handling both long-distance trains as well as short-haul services. Amtrak operated its last E-units into the early 1980s. The Train Simulator Amtrak E8 is provided in cab and booster configurations and is available in Amtrak’s original red-nosed “Phase I” livery and stylish striped “Phase II” scheme. Single- and dual-headlight versions of the E8 are provided as are “as built” and rebuilt variations. And there’s even more! Accompanying the E8 is Amtrak passenger equipment ideal to re-create U. S. passenger trains of the 1970s and early 1980s. Included with the E8 are an Amtrak baggage car, 48-seat coach, dome-coach, 10-6 sleeper, and diner in Amtrak’s Phase I passenger car livery. The Amtrak E8 DLC features career scenarios on the Miami - West Palm Beach Route Add-On (route available separately) and even includes Train Simulator’s popular Seaboard Coast Line General Electric U36B and freight equipment to provide era-authentic freight traffic.

train simulator amtrak e8 loco add-on Despite what most people say, this is a decent addon. the textures are awsome on both locomotive and rolllingstock. my biggest complaint is that phase I is weathered and phase II is clean, would have like both to have a weatherd and clean skin for both, Also a Patched unit would have completed the pack. honestly an early amtrak pack with no patched units?. the sounds are recylced from the WP FP7 but it dose sound like their are two 657 engines (F7s had one 657, keep that in mind when you complain), in the cab it sounds like theirs a two real 567 engine behind you, out side... not so much. If you bye these addons alot you should know how to mod them and put the horn on you like. also sad theirs no obervation car or patched cars. the senarios arn't the most origanal but thats miami - west palm beach. The comunity can fill this void both scenario and paint wise. I enjoy these locomotives and I bet a mmarket place reskin will come soon.. what a cool locomotive, i notice this locomotive have 2 engines.. This is one piece of motive power that is so highly needed and finally it's here. I know you will hear a lot of moaning about the recycled sounds. But really people, you should be use to it with running T-S now. Besides with all the alternate sounds available, it is an easy fix to one's liking.
