As masterfully fashioned by G-TraX, the Boston & Albany route for Train Simulator Classic features the eastern portion of the historic B&A extending ~100 multi-track main line route miles from magnificent South Station in Boston to West Springfield, Massachusetts. The Boston & Albany was long an important and busy route of the legendary New York Central, and the Train Simulator Classic route is set in the last decade of the NYC era and includes four classic types of Alco diesel locomotives, include the stylish and much-admired Alco PA passenger locomotive in NYC “lightning stripe” livery.
Chartered in 1833, the B&A's east end was opened as the Boston & Worcester in 1835. The Western Railroad completed the route to Springfield in 1840, then crossed the Berkshires, reaching the Hudson River at Rensselaer in 1841. In 1867, the two roads were consolidated as the Boston & Albany, then in 1900, the B&A was leased by the New York Central. In 1961, the B&A was formally merged into New York Central.
The new Boston & Albany route for Train Simulator Classic is richly detailed and populated with beautiful renditions of such historic landmarks as Boston South Station, Worcester Union Station, and the superlative stone stations designed by noted 19th-century architect Henry Hobson Richardson. The B&A was a passenger-hauler, but also a vital and bustling freight artery for the New York Central and the Boston & Albany – Boston to Springfield Route features freight terminals at locations including Beacon Park, Worcester, and West Springfield, as well as numerous online shippers and key rail interchange points.
Joining the memorable Alco PA and included with the route are NYC’s workhorse Alco RS3 diesel road-switcher and Alco FA freight locomotive, plus the B&A’s own venerable Alco HH600 diesel switcher. Operations on the B&A required a wide range of rolling stock, and the B&A route provides a diverse selection of passenger and freight equipment true to the era. And to put you right to work as a B&A engineer, the route includes twelve career scenarios featuring passenger, freight, and switching challenges.
