The dual mode P32 AC-DM comes to Train Simulator for the NEC: New York-New Haven route in Metro-North livery.
The General Electric designed ‘Genesis’ series were built between 1992 and 2001 for Amtrak, Metro-North and Via Rail. Their unique design – built with a lower height than other North American locomotives – has made the series a common sight on the Northeast Corridor, known for its low-profile tunnels.
The P32 AC-DM can operate on power generated by diesel motor or from third rail pick-up. It is also unique in being equipped with General Electric’s alternating current (AC) traction motors, rather than DC motors as used in other subtypes.
The P32 AC-DM ‘Genesis’ for Train Simulator is available in Metro-North livery and features in-cab signalling specifically for the NEC: New York-New Haven route. Also included are Metro-North Shoreliner III passenger cars and a Metro-North Shoreliner III Cabcar.
The locomotive is also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive the Metro-North P32 AC-DM on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train Simulator, such as those available through Steam. Also included are scenarios specifically for NEC: New York-New Haven route (available separately and required to play these scenarios).
