Journey to the rugged Alleghany Mountains and experience classic railroading of the 1960s on America’s historic Baltimore & Ohio Railroad – with High Iron Simulations’ new Baltimore & Ohio Retro Pack 01!

Created as a perfect addition to the highly acclaimed Train Simulator B&O Mountain Subdivision route, Baltimore & Ohio Retro Pack 01 delivers all the captivating experiences and challenges of traditional B&O railroading in the 1960s, as first-generation diesels battle the railroad’s historic and demanding crossing of the towering and ancient Alleghany Mountains.

Baltimore & Ohio Retro Pack 01 includes four types of first-generation diesel locomotives, in multiple variations and wearing a variety of authentic liveries:

  • B&O’s legendary Electro-Motive F7 (cab and booster) is featured in four liveries: The F7’s “as delivered” magnificent B&O blue, gray, and black scheme; Simplified blue and black of circa 1961; the B&O’s distinctive “Sunburst” livery of circa 1963; and B&O’s “Capitol” blue scheme of circa 1966.
  • B&O’s stylish and hard-hauling Baldwin RF16 “Sharknose” diesel (cab and booster) wears the blue-and-black livery the exotic freight units wore throughout the 1960s.
  • B&O’s landmark GP7 road-switcher is included in passenger and freight variations (with and without steam generators) and in multiple liveries.
  • B&O’s GP9 diesel workhorse is included in passenger and freight versions (with and without steam generators and dynamic brakes) and multiple liveries, including “as built” freight and passenger liveries.


Each of the locomotives in Baltimore & Ohio Retro Pack 01 feature the advanced and authentic air braking systems created by Mike Rennie of Smokebox as debuted on the B&O Mountain Subdivision route. And the B&O RF16 “Sharknose” also features a realistic version of Baldwin’s unique air throttle with integrated dynamic brake controls.

Joining the diverse motive power roster in Baltimore & Ohio Retro Pack 01 is a selection of freight rolling stock, including B&O’s long-lived Class I-5 wooden cupola in no less than seven livery and detail variations, plus boxcars, tank cars, refrigerator cars, and coal hoppers.

And Baltimore & Ohio Retro Pack 01 puts you right to work on the tough and unrelenting grades of the B&O Mountain Subdivision, with ten realistic career scenarios that include priority manifest, coal, local freight, and switching assignments. In the pack’s ten challenging scenarios, you’ll travel over the length of the magnificent 101-mile B&O Mountain Subdivision and take the throttle of each type of the four included diesel locomotives!

Note: The locomotives and equipment of Baltimore & Ohio Retro Pack 01 can be used on a variety of Train Simulator routes. The included scenarios require the B&O Mountain Subdivision route (route available separately).
