13 INTRODUCING THE BAKERLOO LINE

Sit in the cab and take control on one of the world’s busiest
underground railways, discover the Bakerloo Line in Train Sim
World 2.

Opened between 1906 and 1915 originally known as the
Baker Street and Waterloo Railway it was swiftly renamed The
Bakerloo Railway as the public abbreviation of the name had
gained popularity. The Bakerloo Line is one of the world’s busiest
commuter railways and the popularity of the line is no less today

than it was when it rst opened, carrying millions of passengers

annually.

The Bakerloo Line is 14.4 miles long and features 25 unique
stations, from Elephant & Castle in South London to Harrow
& Wealdstone in the North West of the city. It covers many of
London’s iconic landmarks and famous streets like Waterloo,
Piccadilly Circus, Baker Street and more. There are 10 over­ground and 15 underground stations to discover and the various
Timetable Services and Scenarios in Train Sim World 2 will take
you on a tour of these as you explore the full line.

15 INTRODUCING SAND PATCH GRADE

Iconic railroads of the world are rarely more impressive than the
epic Sand Patch Grade. In Train Sim World 2 you’re in the cab on
one the most challenging and famous routes of the United States.

Sand Patch Grade is part of the Keystone Subdivision of the
Baltimore Division. Cutting through the remote Allegheny
Mountains it drops over 1000 feet over a 20-mile stretch,
making it one of steepest railroad grades in the US. Thanks to
mountainous terrain some interesting engineering solutions were
required, these include the infamous Sand Patch Tunnel and the
horseshoe curve, favourite’s amongst Railfans. Today the entire
line is double track and services daily freight trains from CSX.
