Canadian Pacific Railway is pleased to offer these locomotives for Microsoft Train Simulator:
June 2006:
- CLC Heritage Pack
- Fairbanks-Morse H16-44
- H24-66 Trainmaster
These are 4 models of CLC built variants of the Fairbanks-Morse H16-44 and H24-66 Trainmaster road switchers as used by Canadian Pacific from the early '50's to the mid '70's.
Canadian Pacific bought a relatively limited number of Fairbanks-Morse designs from Canadian Locomotive Works in Kingston. Due to there rather unique design, limited interoperability with other makes and limited numbers most of these models were restricted to the Southern Interior of British Columbia with their main maintenance depot at Nelson B.C.
The F-Ms served with the CPR from the earliest days of dieselization in the 1950's through the end of the 'Southern Mainline' at the end of the 1960's and on a few more years with virtually all of these amazing locomotives being scrapped between 1973 and 1974.
A very good telling of the history of these engines and the lines they ran on can be read at http://members.shaw.ca/cprclc/
- Green Goats Pack
Canadian Pacific Railway, in conjunction with RailPower Corp. has converted several yard locomotives to the environmentally friendly GG20B, based on RailPowers "Green Goat" hybrid technology. This model of the Green Goat is provided by Edward Sketcher.
The GG Series yard switchers, are noted for the innovative way they reduce operational and fuel costs, while also bringing about major reductions in emissions and noise.
Hybrid technology is ideal for locomotives, due largely to the absence of weight constraints. Switchers are deliberately designed to be heavy to gain maximum traction and they operate in an inefficient 'stop-go' manner that is hard on the large engines of conventional units. Unlike traditional switching locomotives, GG Series switchers have very small diesel gensets, large banks of long-life, recyclable batteries, and do not idle.
- Rail Grinder Pack
- RSD-17
Built by Montreal Locomotive Works as RSD-17 #7007 in 1957. This unit was painted in the Maroon & Grey "Block" paint scheme as it was first tested by Canadian Pacific from August 26th, 1957 to November 2nd, 1957. The unit then went to Canadian National Railways painted in the CNR Green and Yellow paint as #3899. CNR tested the locomotive between December 19th, 1957 and March 24th, 1958. After testing on the CNR, the RSD-17 then went to Pacific Great Eastern, where it tested as PGE #624 from April 1st, 1958, and October 15th, 1958. The RSD-17 was purchased by Canadian Pacific Railway on September 14th, 1959, and renumbered to CP #8921. The locomotive was renumbered above the other locomotives that had 2400 horsepower, the Canadian Locomotive Company built Fairbanks-Morse licensed Trainmaster H24-66's. The unit went on to provide many years of service to CPR, no doubt helped by its mechanical similarity to CPR's RS-18's.
It eventually found a home at CPR's Agincourt Yard in yard and road switcher service, and was given the moniker "The Empress of Agincourt". For many years the unit other than for major shopping never strayed far from its home yard of Agincourt in the Toronto Area. The locomotive remained unchanged other than paint scheme over the years. Then in 1988, Canadian Pacific released 8921 with a chopped nose similar to those in the RS18 rebuild program. Only the nose was worked on, the remaining area behind the cab was untouched. To add to its distinctiveness, 8921 had its stripes placed on the nose going the opposite direction compared to the rest of the CP fleet. After the shopping the unit remained close to the Montreal Area. Even though the unit was known to make a few mainline trips, even as a lead unit in some cases.
It remained more or less unchanged until its retirement in 1995 due to frame cracking, the cut down short hood being the only major external difference. It currently is at the Elgin County Railway Museum in St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada.

- Alco C630 Locomotives, in Heritage Livery
In 1963, the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) announced its new Century Series of diesel locomotives. ALCO diesels had done less well than those from General Motors in the first generation; while they had sold reasonably well, nothing had had the success of GM's F-series freight locomotives, E-series passenger locomotives, or road-switchers. While poorer reliability wasn't the only cause of poorer sales, ALCO considered it critical to their future success to improve reliability substantially. The Century series featured numerous features aimed at increasing reliability. The ALCO Century 630 was a six-axle, 3000 horsepower (2.2 MW) diesel locomotive built between 1965 and 1967. 77 were built: 3 for Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, 4 for Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, 8 for Louisville and Nashville Railroad, 10 (with high noses) for Norfolk and Western Railway, 15 for Pennsylvania Railroad, 12 for the Reading, 15 for Southern Pacific Railroad and 10 for Union Pacific Railroad. 56 C630Ms were built in Canada by Montreal Locomotive Works from 1967 to 1969: 3 for Canadian Pacific Railway, 44 for Canadian National Railway, and 4 for Pacific Great Eastern Railway. Three intact Alco C630s exist. One each are owned by the Virginia Museum of Transportation, Reading Technical & Historical Society, and by Vintage Locomotive, Inc. (Ed Bowers). Likewise three C630Ms exist. One is owned by the Western New York & Pennsylvania, and two by Vintage Locomotive. In Australia, the rebuilt frames of three are owned by Robe River Iron Associates.
These Alco C630s are courtesy of BELT RAIL PHOTOS - http://www.nbrailphotos.com/ . Modeled by Jan Henning Gettkant, these models are representative of Canadian Pacific units in the 4500-4516 and 4550-4581 series.
