Train Sim World 7: Union Pacific Heritage Livery Collection is a train simulation add-on for PC that brings six distinct heritage paint schemes to the SD70ACe diesel locomotive. These schemes honor railroads absorbed by Union Pacific over the decades, allowing players to operate heavy freight services on the Sherman Hill route with authentic visual variety.
Gameplay
The core experience centers on realistic operation of the SD70ACe in its various heritage liveries. Each locomotive features a highly detailed cab with accurate controls and instrumentation. Performance and handling match real-world characteristics, including the demands of steep grades and heavy consists typical of the route between Cheyenne and Laramie.
Players manage throttle, brakes, and dynamic braking while navigating the demanding terrain. The add-on includes a dedicated training module in the Training Center that covers fundamentals of operating these powerful diesels on challenging grades. True-to-life physics powered by the SimuGraph engine emphasize precision during acceleration, deceleration, and hill starts.
Game Modes
Six hand-crafted scenarios provide structured experiences, each tied to one of the heritage liveries. These scenarios guide players through specific freight movements and operational challenges on Sherman Hill.
Timetable Mode lets the SD70ACe integrate into the full daily schedule of services, running alongside AI traffic in a living railway environment. The liveries are also compatible with Livery Designer and Scenario Planner tools, as well as the Creators Club for sharing custom content.
A Training Module offers guided instruction on locomotive systems and route-specific techniques before tackling the scenarios or timetable services.
Route and Locomotive Details
The collection applies to the SD70ACe fleet on Sherman Hill, a route known for its steep climbs and heavy freight traffic. The six liveries represent Missouri Pacific (No. 1982), Western Pacific (No. 1983), Missouri-Kansas-Texas (No. 1988), Denver & Rio Grande Western (No. 1989), Chicago & North Western (No. 1995), and Southern Pacific (No. 1996). Each scheme preserves historical color schemes and markings while operating under Union Pacific power.
Freight consists include typical cars for the region, and the locomotives deliver the expected tractive effort for long-haul and switching duties. The add-on notes that full enjoyment requires ownership of the Sherman Hill route as a separate purchase.
Is It Worth Playing?
This add-on suits players who already enjoy Train Sim World and want additional visual options for freight operations on an established US route. It delivers targeted content focused on heritage schemes and six new scenarios without altering core systems.
Those interested in American rail history or expanding their SD70ACe roster on Sherman Hill will find the liveries and scenarios a direct extension of the simulation. Newcomers may prefer starting with the base Training Center and route before adding this collection. The content remains compatible with ongoing updates to the Train Sim World platform.
