Coming soon, Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 01 will take you to the formative years of the famous western railroad giant for diverse railroading!

The sprawling Burlington Northern was created in 1970 through the merger of the famed “Hill Lines” – Great Northern, Northern Pacific, Burlington Route, and Spokane, Portland & Seattle – and coming soon, Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 01 will take you to the formative years of the BN in ten realistic career scenarios!

Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 01, created by High Iron Simulations, will feature diverse and challenging BN railroading from the 1970s through the early 1980s on the magnificent ex-Northern Pacific Train Simulator Classic Bozeman Pass route.

With Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 01 you will climb aboard and take the controls of no less than eight types of Burlington Northern Electro-Motive and General Electric diesels to handle heavy tonnage, priority intermodal traffic, locals, and switching duties.

The railroad across Bozeman Pass was part of Northern Pacific’s main line between the Upper Midwest and Pacific Northwest. From Livingston, Montana, at an elevation of 4,484 feet, the line climbed westward on a 1.8 percent grade to its summit at 5,500 feet. The first Northern Pacific train crossed Bozeman Pass in January 1884, and today the line serves as a vital segment of the BNSF Railway.
With Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 01, you will:

• During the autumn grain rush, make a westbound end-to-end, Livingston to Trident (Montana) run across the Bozeman Pass route toting a heavy unit grain train with a stylish Burlington Northern EMD F45 on the point.

• Climb aboard a veteran General Electric U25B and employ a pair of the landmark “U-Boats” to handle a local freight working on the Rocky Mountain Division’s Fourth Subdivision line toward Butte.

• Experience the “rainbow years” of the Burlington Northern as the newly formed railroad calls upon diesels in the colorful liveries of its predecessor railroads and you work from the cab of an ex-Northern Pacific General Electric U25C.

• As engineer of regional freight No. 196, handle set-out and pick-up work at Bozeman, then ascend the west slope of the pass with a lash-up of BN EMD GP30 and GP9 diesels.

• With a quartet of then-new Burlington Northern EMD SD40-2 diesels as power, bring an eastbound empty grain movement down the wintry east slope of Bozeman Pass while making way for several higher-priority, heavy westbound movements.

• Aboard a set of BN EMD GP38-2s and as engineer of regional freight No. 195, tackle set-out and pick-up work at the massive cement plant at Trident.

• Handle yard and shop switching duties at the historic ex-Northern Pacific Livingston yard and shop complex at the throttle of a venerable BN Electro-Motive GP9.

• In a two-part eastbound end-to-end run of the Bozeman Pass route, take charge of a trio of BN EMD SD45s and hot BN intermodal Train 4 as it detours from its usual ex-Great Northern route to hustle east on the ex-Northern Pacific main line.

Note: For full use, this scenario pack will require the Bozeman Pass Route (High Iron Simulations), BNSF Locomotive Pack Add-On (Dovetail Games, includes BN locomotives), and Burlington Northern U25 Pack (DTM).

The ten new career scenarios of Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 01, based closely on actual railroad operations and train symbols of the era, promise to deliver the challenging experiences of railroading on one of America’s great railroads – and it’s coming soon to Train Simulator Classic!

Coming soon, Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 01 will feature challenging BN railroading from the 1970s through the early 1980s on the magnificent ex-Northern Pacific Train Simulator Classic Bozeman Pass route. At Logan, a local waits to depart while an eastbound manifest rolls past on the main line.

With Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 01, you will climb aboard and take the controls of eight types of Burlington Northern Electro-Motive and General Electric diesels. In a two-part end-to-end run of the scenic Bozeman Pass route, Burlington Northern EMD F45 6600 leads a westbound grain train at the summit of the pass.

A pair of Burlington Northern General Electric U25B “U-Boats” work a Butte-bound local on the line to Three Forks. With the upcoming Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 01, you will handle heavy tonnage, priority intermodal traffic, locals, and switching duties.  

Created in 1970 through merger of the “Hill Lines,” the new Burlington Northern Railroad was in its earliest days a rainbow of colors as the locomotives of the merged roads operated in original liveries. At Trident, trains meet with diesels wearing the vibrant colors of Burlington Northern, Northern Pacific, Great Northern, and Burlington Route.

Ex-Great Northern EMD GP30 2202 is on the point of BN regional freight No. 196 as it handles pick-up and set-out work at Bozeman Yard while a westbound freight rolls past. The town of Bozeman was a key operating point on the route.

In the early 1970s, Electro-Motive landmark SD40-2 was “new power.” On a winter day, a quartet of SD40-2s are bringing an empty unit coal train down the east slope of Bozeman Pass while a trio of sisters serve as helpers on a westbound climbing to the summit.

At the massive Trident cement plant, regional freight No. 195 with a duo of EMD GP38-2s is making pick-ups and set-outs at the facility. Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 01 will feature operations across the length of the acclaimed Train Simulator Classic Bozeman Pass route.

Livingston, at the eastern foot of Bozeman Pass, was the site of a major yard and shop facility dating back to the Northern Pacific era. Burlington Northern EMD GP9 1713 is handling shop and yard switching chores on a wintry day in Montana.

Three Burlington Northern EMD SD45s totaling 10,800 horsepower lead detouring BN intermodal Train No. 4 up Bozeman Pass at West End. Burlington Northern Scenario Pack 01 promises to deliver the challenging experiences of railroading on one of America’s great railroads – and it’s coming soon to Train Simulator Classic!

Resérvate los próximos cinco minutos. Este vídeo de CGTN que ha estado circulando por las redes sociales y ahora ya está en YouTube es un número robótico de la Gala de la Fiesta de la Primavera 2026 emitido por China Media Group. Sin trampa ni cartón*. En él un grupo de robots humanoides ejecutan rutinas de artes marciales sincronizadas junto a niños artistas de kung-fu, porque… ¿qué podría salir mal si enseñamos artes marciales a los robots, dándoles armas tradicionales como espadas y nunchakus?

Estos robots parecen ser los G1 de Unitree Robotics, una de las empresas punteras. La compañía espera vender, fabricar y servir 20.000 robots humanoides en 2026, cuatro veces más de los que vendieron en 2025. Una vez visto que están listos para pasar a la acción, la cuestión es cuán rápido pueden fabricarlos, más que otra cosa. Bueno, y que haya memoria RAM disponible, que estamos en tiempos de escasez.

Según algunos estudios, China estaría vendiendo alrededor del 90% de los robots humanoides actualmente. Aunque es difícil saber exactamente cuánto vende cada compañía, ese sería el orden de magnitud respecto a sus competidores.

* Aunque es difícil a veces confiar en estos vídeos por los trucos que esconden (CGI, control en remoto, acelerar la secuencia, elegir solo las tomas buenas…) este vídeo supera la prueba del algodón: la secuencia es una y continua, no hay fallos ni reintentos y tampoco control remoto. Y los robots no son CGI porque se ven múltiples tomas, ángulos y porque se aprecia incluso cómo hacen micro-correcciones durante el espectáculo.
