D&RGW SD9 Loco Add-On

This downloadable DLC adds the Denver & Rio Grande Western EMD SD9 locomotive to Train Simulator 2016. It is aimed at railway enthusiasts who want to operate a 1,750hp six-axle diesel road-switcher in authentic livery.

Requires Train Simulator 2016 on Steam

The add-on activates through Steam and integrates directly with the base game. It frees players from hunting for third-party mods by providing three included scenarios for the Soldier Summit route plus Quick Drive compatibility.

Sustained yard and road operations

The SD9 models a 567C V-16 two-stroke prime mover rated at 1,750hp with advanced braking controls for extended switching sessions. It is not suited for players seeking modern traction packages or electrified catenary operations.

FeatureAs one of the most unique and iconic six axle heavy yard switchers, the EMD SD9 was a popular locomotive among North American railfans, despite its short working life.
The EMD SD9 was a 1,750hp six-axle (C-C) diesel road-switcher powered by EMDs highly successful two-stroke 567C V-16 diesel power plant. In total there were 471 SD9s built by Electro-Motive between 1954 and 1959 and was the immediate successor of the very similar, 1,500hp SD7, introduced in 1952.
In basic terms, the SD9 was a lengthened GP9 with six axles rather than the GP9's four axles. 'SD' stood for 'Special Duty'

Questions about this item

Does the EMD SD9's 1,750hp diesel engine overheat during long yard-switching sessions?

The add-on simulates the 567C V-16 power plant faithfully; no thermal throttle or overheat mechanic is modelled, so sustained switching runs stay consistent.

How loud is the prime-mover sound when the locomotive idles all day?

The included audio uses the real 567C two-stroke recording at a fixed volume level; no dynamic loudness scaling occurs during extended idle periods.

What base game must I already own on Steam for this DLC to activate?

Train Simulator 2016 is required; the Steam code will not redeem without that title in your library.
