About Us

USLW, est. 2007- With a dedicated team of TRAINZ enthusiasts, this group delivers some of the finest creations for the TRAINZ simulator community. Take a look at all we have to offer, drop us a line to let us know how we’re doing, and read on to find out a bit of history of this great site!

United States Locomotive Works, or USLW, was founded in 2007 by a team of dedicated Trainz enthusiasts. Since then, USLW has provided top notch content for Trainz. Through a process of trial and error, innumerable amounts of research, and sheer perseverance, USLW has become one of the largest and most successful third party developers for the Trainz franchise.

USLW started in 2007 as a result of a merger of two superpower Trainz sites; Trainz Locomotive Works and United States Trainz (TLW and UST, respectively.) Members from both sites were eager to begin working together as, at the time, one of the largest Trainz organization besides Auran® itself. Although some big names in Trainz development jumped ship, both teams remained largely intact and began creating some fascinating projects.

As time progressed, the teams abilities grew exponentially. Several members saw the potential in their work, and interest veered into payware quality creation. Without a hitch, Jointed Rail was born. As Jointed Rail grew quickly, USLW remained a strong contender in freeware content creation.

On October 3rd, 2011, the Jointed Rail team acquired USLW and its entities. The purchase quickly spread turmoil around the Trainz community, as rumors and fears that USLW would be shut down. Contrary to the fears, Jointed Rail redesigned and rekindled the flame USLW had after it was created. With both teams working in notch eight, nothing but excellent and high quality work can be expected.
