USRA Heavy Mountain 4-8-2

Hello folks, and welcome back to the USRA era! We have the USRA Heavy Mountain 4-8-2!

As a heads up folks, you will find this locomotive in your buy menu under "multiple unit" under the steam category. The reason you see it under the multiple unit category is the Random numbers mod. In order for it to work the locomotive must have a cargo space. That cargo is 1 passenger. So no, you are not crazy if you see this on your freight trains. This is the workaround for getting the random numbers to work. Honestly well worth it! Normally I'd say you must have a dependent mod active for the random numbers to work, but Meatballhero has allowed me to include the files! No dependents necessary for this one! Also you may want to set a max timer for your trains you want to sit and wait for full at stations.


During the first world war the federal government enacted the USRA as an experiment to nationalize the railroads during a wartime emergency. This lasted from December of 1917 to March of 1920. They introduced standardized locomotive and rail car classes known as the USRA Standard.
Changes occurred quickly as once President Wilson issued the order for nationalization. All the railroads were organized into 3 divisions, East, West, and South. A reduction in passenger service occurred to help with decongestion of freight. The current number of locomotives and rolling stock was augmented by new production of up-to-date and standardized types/designed to be the best that could be produced to replace outdated equipment.

These locomotives are great in fast passenger service & fast freight!

This one's been sitting for a long while.. while i got bored or wasn't able to work on the Mikes, or Light mountain I worked on the Heavy Mountain. Being that I try to stay within my schedule it is finally her time to shine! So now we enter the Heavy Mountain portion of our USRA program. What next? The C&O J2A with it's flying pumps & vanderbilt tender. To the Florida East Coast Class 801 with its external elesco feedwater heater. From there at some point the B&O P5 Light Pacific variation will appear.. and then to the Light Santa Fe's! One is waiting in the shop for it's UV mapping. The Heavy Pacific is being modeled currently coming along nicely. Then there is always more. At somepoint yes, I will stop making content for TPF2.. once more is known about the next game UG is cooking up.

The USRA locomotives are also ones in which if you simply google USRA and the type of locomotive you get so many hits on model locomotives. So if you are wanting to reskin these into your own road you can ask me on the TPF American Modding discord for the PSD's and create a dependent mod if you wish for the community.



From this point, please understand that my mods are rather heavy in poly count. Sorry I enjoy the detail. I put a lot of effort into these, to make them as best I can to be enjoyed. Sorry if you don't have enough disk space or computer power to run these. The models have LOD's on them to help reduce poly count as you zoom out.

Also in regards to screen shots. About 95% of the time friends take the screenshots for me. So any questions regarding them is best directed toward them at the discord below.
