Introduction, Credits, and Features:
************************************

This BNSF B40-8 repaint would never have been possible without the talented modelers from Streamlines.  
To find this B40-8 and other amazing locomotive packs and routes please visit the Streamlines website linked below:

I would like to thank Bernard Grant for aiding me and providing critical file informaiton on this repaint.
In addition to the minor texture and detail changes, this BNSF B40-8 also includes a freight animation to address some minor mapping issues.

In order for this BNSF B40-8 to work, you will need to have purchased the Streamlines ATSF Seligman Route.  
If you do not have this route, I’d highly recommend it.  
Here is a link:

This B40-8 includes .eng files that are aliased to the original Streamlines Cab and Sound files.  
Hopefully the CABVIEW and SOUND folders are still in their original location which should be:

Program Files/Microsoft Games/Train Simulator/TRAINS/TRAINSET/SLI.SELIGMAN
