The mission is quite short, but challenging, and the key is to use the siding leads to do your shunting, this makes moving back and forth quick and smooth. In Shelby Grain, you will need to assemble a freight train in the yard near Shelby, in a change from the ES44 scenarios the player is given the feeling of working in a very busy yard with trains passing through intermittently. If you fancy a break from the long runs, engineers can take charge of the EMD switchers for a change of pace the pack provides three different scenarios and a tutorial for the EMD switchers. Your next option is Blackfoot or Bust, tasking you to drive from Shelby to Blackfoot, unlike Cold Meat the route is surrounded by plenty of greenery, however it is a much gentler job, while players still need to manage their time and speed the gradients aren't anywhere near as steep and getting your speed right is slightly easier making the route far more manageable and enjoyable, as with the Cold Meat mission there is other rail traffic, though due to the nature of both routes, engineers will often be riding the rails alone for most of them. However this does not discourage the epic scope that the mountains provide as far as the eye can see, and despite pulling your consist nearly a mile, the route layout makes even that feel small. However the mission variants are quite different in Cold Meat you’ll find yourself deep in the mountains with long climbs and steep descents, but, time your acceleration incorrectly and you are in for a hard climb! The mountains look pleasant, although you may not see much of them as the mission is set early morning in the snow, so everything looks very similar along the route. With the pack comes the GE ES44DC in the BNSF livery and the Burlington North EMD SW1500 switchers for you to deceleration spot on.

Like all Train Simulator expansions in Maria's Pass you will find yourself driving through several different scenarios covering various times of day, weather and terrain. Engineers at the helm of the ES44 will have to pay more attention to speed, terrain and weather than ever before, as scenarios include a long run through the pass with extremely large loads in very unfavourable conditions, however the pack is limited to only two different scenarios in these engines -excluding the tutorial- and both of these are mostly about speed management and the finesse of getting your acceleration and
