Antelope Valley Line
Overview
Welcome to the sunny state of California! The City of Los Angeles awaits in Train Sim World as you embark on modern Metrolink services along their 74-mile Antelope Valley Line. The city’s massive Union station marks the start of the journey, S-bending around the bustling city and heading northbound along the famed storm drains. Beyond Burbank airport and up to Santa Clarita, the rails turn sharply due East, and begin the slalem through rugged desert valleys, climbing and descending before the line once again straightens out for the final northerly stretch between Palmdale and Lancaster.
Antelope Valley Line Bits & Bobs
- Much like Vorarlberg, the canyons and desert valleys of California are also captured in stunning detail thanks to detailed textures within the LIDAR terrain system, it makes this route a real looker!
- Don’t forget Rule 14L, the horn sequence when approaching a Grade Crossing; as you approach, start ringing the Bell, then do a Long-Long-Short-Long toot of the Horn, finishing as you cross over the road.
- Unlike most American trains on mountain passes, this is a short passenger formation, but still be vigilant and don’t lose your cool on the downhill stretches – you have unique blended braking at your disposal.
- There are many route tasks to complete, with route maps to place, anniversary banners to put up, cowboy hats to find and food trucks to visit.
