Heading North along the Salt Lake Subdivision at Milepost 782.90, Union Pacific SD70ACe No. 8616 and BNSF ES44C4 No. 6640 are seen leading a Northbound manifest into the North Yard with ET44AC No. 2644 (off camera) at the end of the train as a DPU. No. 8616 is one of few SD70ACes to be painted in a "flagless" livery although it used to be painted in the Flag scheme.

Sorry for not posting a lot for a while. I’ve been working on these guys since I made a list of my characters. Apparently, Scorpio was the only diesel in sunny side island! so I decided to make three more diesels. Rob, Damien, and cotton spider! You can tell who is the customer is diesel and the ones are just normal! As you can tell cotton spider is like a spider like diesel who gets a job quick and smart but also flirty~ Damien is this gentle diesel who loves to help out, and when kids draw drawings of them or himself as a gift, he will hang them in his shed((of course, with workers help)) now with Rob is a different story. Yes, he is a grumpy type diesel and a big is from the bunch unlike Scorpio, but from the grumpiness in this grouchy behavior-without anyone looking for a gentle soul, you just need to find a good ways to get it out. Otherwise, they are a good pair of working diesels and they don’t care if their friends are steam engines or other diesels. They treat each other like great pals or at least Rob tries to…

Human form so I’ll be in the next part of this so be prepared !!!

Cajon Pass' two tunnels were demolished in 2007/2008 to make way for a third mainline. Now, the closest thing approximating a tunnel on the Pass are the quasi-tunnels under Interstate 15. The lead engine (ES44C4 7076) on BNSF tain O-SBDSBD2-15, heading downgrade on Track 2, has just popped into the sunlight once again as the annual California Division Christmas Train approaches CP Walker (named for longtime Santa Fe employee and railfan Chard Walker) as the first of two San Bernardino to Summit roundtrips threads its way through the Pass on December 15th, 2012.

A trio of BNSF's ES44C4 locomotives (BNSF 3288 leading) pulling this intermodal consist into Victorville, CA on its way to San Bernardino, CA (ultimately this consist is taking containers all the way to San Diego but Train Sim World usually does about 1-2 hour routes/portions of routes) on a late spring afternoon.

The cement plant in Victorville (CEMEX) has a lot going on around it. There is an intermodal consist getting ready to head to Barstow in the middle track. Off on the right track, a pair of SD40-2s are idling ready to sort any traffic coming in or out of the plant. The massive cement plant is dwarfed only by the San Bernardino mountains in the background. The moderate cloud cover casts a shadow over one of the mountains.

No custom content is displayed, all shown is in Train Sim World 4 on my PS5. The route is Cajon Pass from San Bernardino, CA to Barstow, CA.

Edit: Oops, when I was looking at my photos on the train sim world gallery I noticed the train symbol and realized I messed up couple things. I have fixed them now but I had my orientation backwards. Train symbol used for service in TSW is Z-ELPSDG5-07 so El Paso, TX to San Diego, CA my bad.

Day 20: GE Evolution Series

Info from Wikipedia:

The Evolution Series is a line of diesel locomotives built by GE Transportation Systems (now owned by Wabtec), initially designed to meet the U.S. EPA's Tier 2 locomotive emissions standards that took effect in 2005. The first pre-production units were built in 2003. Evolution Series locomotives are equipped with either AC or DC traction motors, depending on the customer's preference. All are powered by the GE GEVO engine.[4]

The Evolution Series was named as one of the "10 Locomotives That Changed Railroading" by Trains Magazine and was the only locomotive introduced after 1972 to be included in that list.[5]

The Evolution Series locomotives are some of the best-selling and most successful freight locomotives in United States history.

Currently, six different Evolution Series models have been produced for the North American market. They are all six axle locomotives and have the wheel arrangement C-C (AAR classification) or Co′Co′ (UIC classification), except for the ES44C4 which has an A1A-A1A wheel arrangement and the meter-gauge version developed for the Brazilian network ES43BBi which is B-B-B-B.

The ES44DC (Evolution Series, 4,400 hp, DC traction) replaced the Dash 9-44CW model in the General Electric catalogue. Primary users are BNSF Railway, CSX Transportation, and Canadian National Railway. Pilbara Iron in Australia ordered a lengthened, international version designated ES44DCi. The extra length is used for a larger radiator to increase cooling capacity in the Australian outback.

The ES44AC (Evolution Series, 4,400 hp, AC traction) replaced the AC4400CW model in the General Electric catalogue. These locomotives have been ordered by every Class I railroad in North America: Union Pacific Railroad (who refers to these locomotives as the C45ACCTE), BNSF Railway, CSX Transportation, Norfolk Southern Railway, Kansas City Southern Railway, Kansas City Southern de Mexico, Ferromex, Canadian Pacific Railway, and Canadian National Railway.

The ES44C4 (Evolution Series, 4,400 hp, C to denote 3 axles per truck, 4 traction motors) was introduced in 2009. While similar to the ES44AC, the ES44C4 has two traction motors per truck, instead of the conventional three such as on the ES44AC. No ES44C4s with DC traction were built. The center axle of each truck is unpowered, giving an A1A-A1A wheel arrangement. BNSF Railway is the launch customer for this model, ordering an initial batch of 25 units numbered 6600–6624.

The ES44C4 was initially only built for BNSF. The 4200s and units 7921-7999 are certified as Tier 4 Credit units, while the others are Tier 2 or Tier 3. On 30 January 2014 Florida East Coast Railway announced that they would buy 24 ES44C4s, to be numbered 800–823, for heavy haul service and intermodal traffic. All were delivered by the end of 2014, in order to beat the EPA's deadline on exhaust-emissions standards for new-built Tier 3 locomotives.

A feature of these units is a variable traction control system in their computer systems. One of the differences between an ES44AC and an ES44C4 are the air cylinders and linkages on the truck sideframes of the ES44C4; these are part of the traction control system. Every time a variation in grade, traction, or wheel slip occurs, the computer adjusts the pressure in these cylinders to maintain sufficient adhesion, by varying the weight on the drive axles.

The ES44DCi (Evolution Series, 4400 horsepower, DC traction, international version) was built for the Rio Tinto railway in Australia. The ES44ACi was built for the Roy Hill and Rio Tinto Group.

Rio Tinto's units can be remotely driven, meaning nobody has to be in the cab as they can be controlled from a control center.

The ES44ACi/DCi is essentially an ES44AC/DC in a GE AC6000CW's body, with the radiator at the end protruding out over the rear deck in the same way the AC6000CW does. The locomotive's large radiator allows it to handle the Australian outback's extreme temperatures.

Roy Hill has ordered 21 ES44ACi locomotives, and is currently in possession of all 21 locomotives (numbered 1001 "Ginny"-1021). Rio Tinto ordered 100 ES44DCi locomotives and has all 100 (numbered 8100–8199) and 21 ES44ACi locomotives (numbered 9100–9120) and more are on order.

Ferromex also acquired 50 ES44ACi. As the construction of these locomotives was subsequent to the new environmental laws of the US, GE cataloged them only as ES44ACi, although in the external technical specifications of the locomotives say ES44AC). These locomotives can no longer reenter the US operating.

The ET44AC (Evolution Series Tier 4, 4,400 hp, AC traction) replaces the ES44AC model. These locomotives have been ordered by most of the Class I railroads in North America, including Union Pacific, CSX Transportation, Norfolk Southern and Canadian National Railway. BNSF Railway will be receiving similar ET44C4 locomotives, which have no traction motor on the middle axle of each truck. CSX designates their ET44ACs as ET44AH, due to their locomotives being heavy-ballasted.

The TE33A is an export 1520 mm gauge locomotive in the GE Evolution Series.

The Evolution Series locomotives are visually similar to the AC4400CW, although small differences are evident. The most noticeable difference is the radiator section at the rear of the locomotive is larger to accommodate the GEVO's Air to air intercoolers. As with the AC6000CW, the radiators project beyond the end of the hood. On the ES44ACi and ES44DCi models, the radiator extends in the same way as the AC6000CW, protruding out over the rear deck. For the other Evolution Series locomotives, the radiator does not protrude completely over the rear deck, but rather sits nearly flush with the rear of the engine hood. Unlike previous GE locomotives, the grills under the radiator are at two different angles. The increase in radiator size is due to the necessity for greater cooling capacity in the locomotive in order to reduce emissions. The other major difference between the Evolution Series and earlier models are the vents below the radiators, which are larger than those on previous GE locomotives.[11] Also, all Evolution Series units have air conditioners mounted below the cab on the conductor's side.

In 2002, GE and UGL Limited launched the Evolution Series locomotive, and in 2009, continued their partnership for another 10 years for UGL to distribute and sell GE locomotives in Australia.

Transnet Engineering in South Africa has a license to manufacture 233 4,200 hp (3,100 kW) 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) Cape gauge ES40ACi locomotives for Transnet Freight Rail, with core components including GEVO-12 engines supplied from the United States.

The first six of these Class 44-000 locomotives were built in Erie, Pennsylvania in April and July 2015. In October 2015, the first of the 227 South African-built locomotives was nearing completion at Transnet Engineering's Koedoespoort shops in Pretoria.
