Experience one of America’s most iconic railroading corridors in Train Sim World 6: Santa Fe on Cajon Pass — a legendary route where history, engineering, and raw locomotive power collide. Climb aboard classic Santa Fe power and explore the challenging gradients, sweeping desert vistas, and high-traffic railroading that made Cajon Pass a cornerstone of the American West.

ABOUT THE ROUTE
Cajon Pass, located in Southern California between the San Bernardino Mountains and the Mojave Desert, is one of the busiest and most significant freight arteries in the United States. Its sharp grades, tight curves, and rugged elevation changes have tested engineers and locomotives for more than a century. Whether you’re handling long intermodal trains or mastering heavy freight, the pass demands precision and skill as you navigate the ever-changing terrain.

HISTORY OF THE SANTA FE RAILWAY
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (ATSF) was one of America’s most influential and recognizable railroads. Founded in the mid-1800s, Santa Fe pioneered long-distance rail travel, high-speed freight service, and iconic passenger trains like the Super Chief. Its iconic red and silver “Warbonnet” livery became one of the most famous paint schemes in railroad history. Santa Fe played a critical role in connecting the Midwest to California, fueling growth across the Southwest, and shaping modern railroading as we know it.

Today, although Santa Fe merged with Burlington Northern to form BNSF Railway, its legacy lives on through its routes, locomotives, and the railfans who continue to celebrate its heritage.

HISTORY OF CAJON PASS
Railroading in Cajon Pass began in the 1880s as rail companies fought to access California’s rapidly expanding markets. Santa Fe established itself as a major operator through the pass, later joined by other roads as demand grew. Over time, the corridor expanded from a single line to multiple main tracks to handle massive freight volumes. The steep 2–3% grades, harsh heat, and sudden weather shifts created a route known for its difficulty and beauty alike.

Cajon Pass remains a railfan hotspot thanks to its dramatic scenery, intense freight traffic, and the constant struggle between gravity, engines, and steel.
