Following in the footsteps of its highly successful predecessor,
Maple Leaf Tracks Inc. is proud to announce Kicking Horse Pass 2.0. This is a
new product, completely re-designed to meet the requirements for the new breed
of Train Simulator expansion packs. Its graphical elements have been completely
rebuilt from scratch, including new scenery objects, and new locomotive and rolling
stock pieces. Kicking Horse Pass 2.0 was developed, in association with
the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, to ensure historical accuracy and realism.
The route, which is one of the most famous mountainous rail crossings in the World,
begins just east of the Rocky Mountains. From there, it follows the beautiful
Bow River as it enters the Bow River Valley on its trek to the top of Kicking
Horse Pass. Along the way, it passes some well-known locations such as Exshaw,
Gap, Canmore, and Banff. After leaving Banff, it continues along the Bow
River passing the majestic Rocky Mountains which rise up on both sides of the
tracks. After passing through the resort town of Lake Louise, it starts the grueling
climb up the grade to the Continental Divide and the top of Kicking Horse Pass.
What comes next is a nerve-wracking ride down one of the steepest and most dangerous
stretches of mainline railway track in the World. From the top of the Pass, the
downward grade increases to as much as 2.4% as you move 14,000 ton unit trains
through the famous Spiral Tunnels, past the imposing Cathedral Crags, and finally
ending your run in the small town of Field, nestled in the spectacular Kicking
Horse Canyon. It is a virtual railway experience you will not soon forget!
