Venture to the famed “Bayou,” hill, and river country of Louisiana to experience a unique and captivating style of contemporary American railroading in the deep South with Union Pacific’s Livonia Division: Monroe Subdivision route for Train Simulator!
The Monroe Subdivision, as re-created by the Livonia Division: Monroe Subdivision route, is a vital portion of the Union Pacific, serving as a segment of UP’s rail link between America’s Upper Midwest and the Gulf of Mexico. Stretching 97.5-route miles between Monroe and Alexandria, Louisiana, the Monroe Subdivision historically was an important line of the Missouri Pacific.
A successful and innovative railroad, Missouri Pacific represented an attractive merger partner and in 1980, Union Pacific announced an agreement to acquire the Missouri Pacific, which was formally merged into giant UP on December 22, 1982.
Today’s Monroe Subdivision is a busy steel artery for the north-south movements of heavy manifest traffic, with much of the tonnage being agricultural, chemical, and petrochemical products moving in covered hoppers and tank cars.
With major yards at both Alexandria and Monroe and extending through a mixture of rolling hills and Louisiana “Bayou” country alongside the Red and Quachita Rivers, the Monroe Subdivision is home to challenging railroad operations that mix grades, fast-running, and heavy tonnage. The Monroe Subdivision is also rich in junctions and interchanges with other rail lines, including connections with Union Pacific and Kansas City Southern lines as well as several short lines.
The Livonia Division: Monroe Subdivision route includes four UP locomotive types – the GE ES44AC, EMD SD70M, GP38-2, and SD40-2 – and a selection of modern freight equipment.
