Unleash the Beast: SimRail’s Cargo Pack DLC Rolls Out with Massive Power!
In the ever-expanding universe of railway simulators, SimRail continues to set the bar high with the latest release of its Cargo Pack DLC, available from April 22, 2024. This add-on isn’t just any update; it’s a heavyweight expansion that promises to enhance the railroading experience with historical depth and robust new challenges.
The Heart of the Pack: ET22 (201E) Locomotive
Meet the ET22 (201E), fondly nicknamed the heavy six-axle monster. This locomotive isn’t just a piece of machinery; it’s a living legend with a power output of 3000 kW and a hefty weight of 120 tons. Produced between 1975 and 1976, this beast has seen over 20 years of rigorous service. Originally deployed extensively in Poland with a fleet of 1184 units and an additional 23 units for Morocco, these locomotives are still predominantly operated by PKP Cargo. They have not only endured the test of time but have also played a crucial role in hauling thousands of tons of goods across Poland, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia.
New Wagons on the Block: Special Construction Falns 441V and Tank Wagons Zas & Zaes
The DLC doesn’t stop at locomotives. It introduces the Falns 441V hopper wagons and Zas & Zaes tank wagons, each designed for specific cargo challenges. Capable of carrying over 3000 tons of aggregates, these wagons ensure that even the most cumbersome loads reach their destinations efficiently. Trains equipped with these wagons can hit speeds of 100 km/h, showcasing their ability to blend capacity with speed—an essential trait for modern rail logistics.
Are You Up for the Challenge?
SimRail’s Cargo Pack DLC is not just about new equipment; it’s also about new adventures. The DLC features challenging single-player missions that test the mettle of even the most skilled engineers. Players will navigate the steep ascent from the Staszic mine while adhering to stringent speed restrictions. The real test comes with the return journey where, after unloading, the Falns wagons push the limits at a maximum speed of 100 km/h.
This latest DLC from SimRail is more than an expansion—it’s an homage to the golden age of freight trains and a challenge to today’s engineers. Whether you’re a veteran of virtual railways or a newcomer eager to prove your skills, the Cargo Pack promises to deliver an exhilarating experience that mirrors the demanding and dynamic world of rail freight transportation.
