*This pack requires the Norfolk Southern Dash 8-40C add-on, which is available worldwide. You can purchase it directly on Steam here.*

RoadRailer Simulations proudly presents: The Canadian National C40-8!

The General Electric Dash 8-40C (C40-8) was originally built from 1987 to 1992. It was the successor to the C39-8, which had a standard cab and a 3,900 horsepower 7FDL-16 engine, but was unpopular with railroad crews. The C40-8 was similar to the C39-8, only with slightly more horsepower than its predecessor.

In total, approximately 560 units were built during its production run. The Union Pacific were the largest buyer of C40-8's with over 250 units; other buyers being CSX Transportation (CSX) with over 130 units, Chicago and North Western (CNW) with 77 units (these CNW C40-8's were later upgraded with 4,100 horsepower engines, known as the C41-8), Norfolk Southern (NS) with 75 units, and Conrail (CR) with 25 units.

In 2010, CN acquired 35 former CNW locomotives from UP, and numbered them into the 21xx series. 3 years later, CN acquired the 42 former CNW units, and numbered them to the 20xx series. 6 CN C40-8s were painted for the 15th anniversary of their privatization. In 2016, Pan Am Railways acquired 20 former CSX C40-8s.

With your vbs installer...are you modifying the original GeoPcDx files...?
Reason for asking is that it does not not work with my machine, so I can manually do it if no changes are being made.

Here is the log report.

I did not modify any GEO files for this add-on.

Here, I've already made an uncut video explaining the installation process on the RRS Facebook. The AP to ZIP process was covered in the manual, but it wasn't explained properly. I'll try to fix it in a future update:
