1949 Timetable
For DTG Train Simulator by Harry R. Adkins
Creation Date: May 2026
Scenario Description and Notes
========================================
This scenario simulates one of Southern Pacific's Fast Mail trains in May of 1949. Your locomotive is one of SP's black "War Baby" 4-8-4's and you have thirteen cars. Your consist is a mixture of express boxcars, express reefers, baggage cars, and a lone rider coach.
This train originated in Ogden, UT, and terminates in Oakland, CA. Your portion of today's run starts in Sparks, NV, and runs to Truckee, NV. The grades on this run average about 1.1% so watch your steam pressure. I ran the reverser at about 41% to keep up with track speeds.
Upon arrival at Truckee, you will uncouple from your train. One of SP's huge Cab Forward 4-8-8-2's will handle the next portion of the run over Donner Pass to Colfax.
Duration: 90 minutes
Difficulty: not too difficult except for mountain grades
Type: express passenger with no stops
Tasks: mainline passenger run from Sparks, NV, to Truckee, NV
Installation and System Requirements
====================================
Run the RW_AssetSetup.exe file to install this scenario. The SP Fast Mail Rolling Stock.csv file lists the needed equipment. I use a LOT of different rolling stock but you can substitute your own with RW Tools.
