An Immersive Railroading addon, based mostly around North America, features many railroads - The Community Version via kitbashing from the main versions

The FL9s were the final series of "F-Unit" EMD ever produced. They were also the longest, having been designed to run as both standard diesels, and purely electric locomotives - using powered "3rd rail" equipment.
We all have to start somewhere.
2nd gen. L1 Northern. Formerly Cotton Belt 813. 4488 was the last GS-8 leased to the SP by the Cotton Belt. It was leased to the T&NO prior to that - along with the 812 and 819. All three operated the Rio Grande and San Antonio Divisions out of El Paso.
3rd gen. L1 Northern leased to the SP from the Cotton Belt. Formerly SSW 815. SP reclassified/renumbered three 3rd gen. L1s as "GS-8s" to fit with their existing classification system.
Built primarily for the ATSF, the SD45-2 is an upgraded version of EMD's SD45. A total of 136 were produced (between 1972-1974,) many of which are still in active service on railroads such as Norfolk Southern, CSX, and various shortline operations.
Ex-Amtrak FL9 duo. Formerly owned by the Morristown & Erie/Maine Eastern. Operated passenger services on the Rockland, Maine branchline between 2004-2015. Both units were sold shortly after M&E lost the branch's contract. Currently owned by Webb Rail.

815-819 were the final 5 L1 Northerns produced for the Cotton Belt during the 1940s. 815, 817, and 818 went on to become Southern Pacific 4485, 4486, and 4487 respectively. Little is known regarding the 816's history.
3rd gen. L1 Northern leased to the SP. Formerly Cotton Belt 817. The GS-8s operated as part of SP's peninsular commute services in California during the 1950s.
3rd gen. L1 Northern. Formerly Cotton Belt 818. All L1s except the 819 were ultimately retired and scrapped by 1959.
Ex-Amtrak GP9 MOW unit. Currently an RRPX leaser. Ran freight operations on the Rockland, Maine branchline from 2004 to 2015. Served as a temporary switcher for the Strasburg RR in 2016, before returning home to the Morristown & Erie RR.
3rd generation L1 4-8-4 Northern. Built in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Restored in 1986, and frequently pulled excursions between Pine Bluff and Tyler, Texas until 1993. Was one of the star attractions during the 1990 NRHS Steam Convention.
This model has been a collaboration between multiple community members, and is (to our knowledge,) only the second proper digital representation of the locomotive ever made for a game/simulator.
