Description
Burlington Route

The Burlington Route, formally known as the Chicago,Burlington, and Quincy Railroad, was a Class I railroad that operated in the Midwest of the United States. The company merged with Northern Pacific and Great Northern Railroad to form the Burlington Northern Railroad.

This train is modeled after their EMD E5 series of locomotives similar to other early E units in shape there were notable differences in the roof vents and on the nose. The passenger train is based off the many commuter trains the Burlington Route ran in Chicago in the second half of the 20th Century.

This train is very special as it is the first release with my updated locomotive for the EMD E5s, I went back and redid a lot of the modeling and texture work to bring them up to my standards now and making them overall better looking. Wheelsets, Fluting, Rivets and roof have all been revisited and modeled out to show more detail.

How to Use

Train functions as a regular passenger train but due to its length some additional consideration might be needed when setting up passenger stations for it. Consult the "How to use very long passenger trains, building station complex" by REV0

Yay! I've always kind of liked that red-yellow livery.

@Katyusha I think I am going to work on that sometime this week, just need to make some texture adjustments on the E6 to match what they were painted as commuters.

You could also do a Rock Island version. They used old slant-nose units on commuter trains into the 70s.

@TheMiniMan1 yeah its on my to do list. Might hold off until I have an E8 to use for CNW.

Very nice! Do you have any plans for a CNW version as well?
