There are great scenarios and there are epic ones. The Fully Fueled scenario is one of the all time greatest. "All" you have to do is couple a pair of GP38-2s diesel electric locomotives to the end of an almost 5,000-tons intermodal train, take over control of the two SD40-2s diesel electric locomotives at the front end and run this beauty up Sand Patch Grade, where you stop the train in the decent, uncouple the helpers and store them at a siding.

The challenge especially comes in when stetting up the four locomotives for working together and then chasing yellows uphill because of another train just in front of you. Doing this (as always) without the HUD, requires some track knowledge, so that you know behind which bend the potentially red signals are.

Included is a short condensed tutorial for setting up leading and trailing locomotives at the front and rear end of the train (35:32).
