Union Pacific 119 4-4-0
Howdy folks! Welcome to the 1800’s and the Golden Spike Promontory Point pack!
The Final of the Pack’s we have the Union Pacific 4-4-0 119!
Built in 1868 at the Rogers Locomotive Works in Patterson, New Jersey. Originally engine 119 was not the engine that was going to be used to bring the Union Pacific president to the Golden Spike proceedings. Due to a swollen river, the original Locomotive engineer refused to cross a bridge, but instead of shoving the lighter passenger cars over the river. To pick up the cars was Engine 119. So by chance 119 became the famous eastern engine pictured. Just like the Central Pacific’s Jupiter, 119 was scrapped in the very early 1900’s. A replica now runs at the Golden Spike National Historical Park in Utah.
I felt the Early Era needed some fleshing out hence why I started here with these Locomotives. I went a bit crazy with the different smoke stacks, and headlamps for the variety of them. Being that there were ample locomotive builders at the time, they all came with different parts & one of the most recognizable parts is the smoke stack. So i wanted to represent that. Similar in fashion to my Southern Pacific SD pack. A lot of different options here.
43 Different road numbers! 1 based on the historical locomotive #119. 4 are black or more modern-ish, engines 110, 48, 80, and 96.
Each numbered locomotive has a different Smoke stack and either has a Grandfather Clock Style headlamp, or Jupiter’s more Box style headlamp. A mixture of coal
and wood fueled locomotives.
All the Numbered locomotives below are Recolorable!
-12, 17, 18, 24, 27, 30, 32
-34, 35, 42, 45, 54, 58, 62

Finally I am concluding my 1800’s run of mods… well locomotives at least for the moment. I still have some others I would like to do like the J.W. Bowker (2-4-0), the J.C. Davis (2-6-0), and various other rolling stock.
For now though I believe I am going to break for a bit and actually play the game. I made these for a specific map I’m working on. I know my break will be rather short lived, but I am going to start into the famous 4-6-4,
The New York Central Hudsons! I look forward very much to working on these. I want to thank Rckdesigns. Without him I would not have been able to represent these historical locomotives with their detail and gold leafing as you see. Thank you very much for helping me into making this in a reality!!!! This pack has been in the works since the beginning of July and I am glad it is at it’s end!
I hope you enjoy this pack as much as I will, or at least for your early era gameplay!
For anyone asking about the maps in the screenshots. I don’t have the map, and no link to it as my friend Lskeetskeet took the fantastic screen shots for me.
