Driving a Union Pacific X18 Gas Turbine Electric Locomotive through the new Extended and Abandoned Train Route in GTA 5.

Union Pacific X18 is an example of the most powerful locomotive ever built in America. Rated at around 10,000hp, it consists of the cab unit; the main power unit containing a turbine engine, similar to a jet engine, numbered 18B; and a tender to carry fuel for the turbine. The railroad designed these locomotives specifically to pull freight trains between Omaha, Nebraska and Ogden, Utah and 18 is one of only two in preservation. Their poor fuel economy and high maintenance costs of the turbine led to their retirement in the late 1960s.

This giant three-unit gas-electric turbine is the most powerful locomotive that ever saw service in the United States. It is one of 30 locomotives of this type and had 8,500 horsepower, more than four times as powerful as typical diesel-electric locomotives of the time and nearly twice as powerful as today’s high-horsepower diesels. It was the 1930s when railroads began looking at turbine-driven locomotives as a way to increase fuel economy. Turbines used at power plants were very efficient, but finding a way to mount a turbine on a locomotive proved problematic. General Electric built a turbine locomotive for the Union Pacific Railroad (UP) in 1939 but its complexity made it unreliable and it was deemed a failure. After World War II, the UP revisited the idea. It asked General Electric to build on its experience designing gas turbine airplane engines and construct a gas-powered turbine locomotive.

A prototype built in 1948 was judged successful, so three orders of gas turbines were built between 1952 and 1961. These culminated in the three-unit, 8,500hp locomotives like UP 18. The turbines were essentially jet engines on rails, and when in operation they sounded like jet airliners. They used fuel at a prodigious rate, though the poor grade of oil that they burned helped offset the cost somewhat. They also used nearly as much fuel at idle as at full throttle, meaning that the railroad had to keep them in constant use while fired up. Over time, as oil prices climbed and reliability problems increased, the turbines fell out of favor with the UP. The railroad ended up retiring them all by 1970, and sold nearly all for scrap. UP 18 is one of only two turbine locomotives from the Union Pacific still in existence. It retains its turbine engine but was stripped of many other components before acquisition by the museum.

➤ Kitsune Trains 7.3
This mod attempts to bring real life trains to Los Santos! There is something from almost every major carrier. Over 100 consists, and hundreds of liveries ensure that you should have a very random and realistic freight experience. Almost every engine and rolling stock has livery support, with most also having close to the maximum (for trains) of 25 liveries each.

➤ Freight Train Extended - East LS 2.0
This mod makes the Freight Train take a detour through some of the unused sections of the railway. It will stop at the Mirror Park Rail Yard, the Go Loco building, Cypress Flats Rail Yard, Raven Slaughterhouse, and Dockyard. It's essentially a loop around the industrial warehouse/factory area in East Los Santos. Various missing rails and a bridge has been added to make the route coherent.

There are no working crossing gates, so oblivious pedestrians will be minced and cars will be totaled every time a train crosses a street. It's pretty hilarious.

➤ 2 Trains, 2 Tracks: Los Santos Local 1.1
This mod enables trains on both tracks, meaning two trains can be seen running at the same time. Slow, shorter trains operate on a reactivated line to Mirror Park and along a new line to Davis Quartz. Longer, faster, and more varied trains operate on the default route. Faster trains will safely overtake a slower train if needed, with no collisions between the two. There are locations where the faster express and slower local stop. (See Map for details.) For now, these stations have few if any amenities. This will be fixed in the future.
