Glacier Park to Shelby Great Northern Empire Builder

The GN Empire Builder employees trip departs Glacier Park ahead of the schedule Amtrak Empire Builder.

You will be taking an employees special on the restored Great Northern Empire Builder from Glacier Park to Shelby.

The activity is still being tested due to a signalling problem at the Shelby end of the Browning loop. You won't be on duty for as long as the Glacier Park to Whitefish trip!

As is usual, webTrainSim has been testing in various weather conditions for variety.

This activity has been compiled into a zip file with Route Riter so you can see what you're files you need to install.

On the technical side of things, this activity works because of the robust signalling rules put into place by the Marias 3.1 authors.

To download, see here.

Oh, there's more blatant advertising by webTrainSim who has placed his 40- and 86-foot boxcars on various sidings.



Old meets new at Blackfoot. At least we got priority for a clear line!

Rolling stock

Crossing the Cutbank bridge.

All the following rolling stock is available from the Train-sim.com library. Hopefully webTrainSim is correct with the Superliner coaches; check with ConBuilder and then use it to substitute other model Superliners if you receive any errors.

There are some loose consists of the webTrainSim boxcars, but you can use ConBuilder to substitute your choice of rolling stock in running consists. Be careful, however, to keep the train lengths roughly the same as the original (i.e., don't increase a train length from, say, 50 wagons, to 100 wagons). Apart from perhaps not fitting on a siding, train speed will change with a heavier load and you could spend longer at any reds.
