[b]One of North America’s “Super Six” freight railroads, BNSF Railway is a goliath of modern railroading – and you can bring it alive with a variety of extraordinary routes and DLC for Train Simulator Classic![/b] BNSF Railway: It is one of North America’s – and the world’s – railroading goliaths. BNSF spins its ribbons of steel across 32,500 route miles which stretch through 28 U.S. states and three Canadian provinces. BNSF calls upon upwards of 8,000 locomotives and 35,000 employees to haul agricultural products, intermodal traffic, industrial goods, vehicles, coal, chemicals, and petroleum. And BNSF generates more than $22 billion in annual revenues. As impressive as today’s BNSF operations and statistics are, the railroad also rejoices in a rich history and heritage. Formed in 1996, BNSF’s predecessors include a virtual who’s who of American railroading, including Burlington Northern, Great Northern, Northern Pacific, Burlington Route (CB&Q), Spokane, Portland & Seattle, Frisco (SL-SF), and famed Santa Fe (and indeed we’ll explore BNSF’s remarkable predecessors in a future DTL article). Befitting BNSF as one of the world’s most extraordinary and diverse railroads, Train Simulator Classic offers a bountiful selection of BNSF routes, locomotive and equipment packs, and realistic scenario packs to bring the railroad to full life and provide you with countless hours of railroading challenges and enjoyment. Let’s take a look: [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//958135/b5508180173153393ba7a2f8aba1dd1e0334baeb.jpg[/img] [b]BNSF Routes[/b] Train Simulator Classic offers you the opportunity to climb aboard and experience big-time North American railroading on no less than seven routes which feature BNSF operations! Three superb and popular Train Simulator Classic routes re-create legendary portions of the BNSF’s northern-tier main line as originally set down by the Great Northern – including the Train Simulator Classic Marias Pass, Stevens Pass, and Montana Hi-Line routes. BNSF’s unique and fast-paced triple-track steel speedway extending west from Chicago is the subject of the remarkable Racetrack: Aurora - Chicago route. And three additional Train Simulator Classic routes – the Tehachapi Pass route, Pacific Surfliner route, and vintage Cajon Pass route – offer BNSF action on shared-trackage lines. Together, these routes deliver BNSF railroading stretching from Chicago, America’s enthralling railroad capital, all the way to the Pacific Northwest and California! And each of these routes (except Tehachapi Pass) are today also home to regular Amtrak passenger operations.
