General Electric ES44AC BNSF Engines (Shunter Mode)

Engine Pack, for Shunting Operations

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.

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

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

Despite some of you would consider me as a European-centric train maker on WS, GEVO is one of my favorite US locomotive of all times. It was originally planned to be made for Railway 2 release but I decided to focus on networks themselves, thus I abandonned the idea of making US freight train for the release. Evangeline later on proposed to make DDAX for the release instead. Last year I got the request of making GEVO again, but this time I decide to see it to the end.

GEVO took about 3 months of work that includes mesh and textures and it is one of the most complex train I did for CSL so far. I hope you like the final product just as I enjoyed making it.

This train was the result of the commission request by Da Boss Hoss, so thanks goes to them as well.

'Shunter' is a vehicle designation I created for Cities Skylines in order to 'animate' railyards, by mimicking shunting operations. Assets designated 'shunter' are essentially locomotive only passenger trains with 0 passenger capacity, thus they can be assigned in custom train line/routes to simulate shunting operations in your railyards. You can use existing train stations or invisible train stations to spawn the locomotive, then use station tracks independently (ala R2 ones that are available in-game) to create stops.

AVO (Advanced Vehicle Options) is strongly recommended to forbid these locomotives from spawning by the game.

- BNSF version of ES44AC 'GEVO'
- Contains 3 engines in 1, 2, 3 engines long.
- Uses Additive Shader for headlights and covers.

- All engines share the same texture to improve your RAM performance.
- The final load on RAM should be around 12MB, if you already have containers from previous release.
