Train Simulator: The Rhine Railway: Mannheim - Karlsruhe Route Add-On Key Serial Number

Updated: Mar 22, 2020





















































About This Content One of Germany’s most strategically important rail lines comes to Train Simulator, bringing the splendours of The Rhine Railway to life and featuring one of Europe’s largest freight marshalling yards.The Rhine Railway runs from Mannheim to Rastatt, via Karlsruhe, and was opened in 1870 as an alternative route to the Baden Mainline. The line originally ran between Graben-Neudor and Karlsruhe, following a more western path to its current one, and is now called the Hardt Railway, partly used by lines S1 and S11 of the Karlsruhe Stadtbahn.In 1895, the current route was opened as far as Karlsruhe and extended to Rastatt. Being entirely within the Upper Rhine Plain, the line is almost entirely straight and there are no major engineering structures anywhere along its path, and runs almost parallel with the Rhine Valley Railway, which runs from Mannheim to Hiedelberg, Karlsruhe, Rastatt, Offenburg and Basel.The line has undergone several changes through the years, being adapted and extended for both World Wars. Most notably, the line was electrified in the 1950s and in subsequent years, several stations were abandoned, including the station of Altrip, - the town now lies on the opposite bank of the Rhine having been cut off entirely by the straightening of the river.Today, long distance trains formed of electric locomotives with Intercity passenger coaches, as well as ICE and TGV high speed trains, travel the route in either direction. It is also served by Regional-Express services formed with BR425 S-Bahn electric multiple units.A prominent landmark on the route is the Mannheim Rangierbahnof, one of Europe’s largest freight marshalling yards, stretching six kilometres (3.7 miles) and covering 200 hectares, and also an important freight exchange for the Southern Rhine Valley.The 80 kilometre (50 mile) Mannheim to Karlsruhe section of The Rhine Railway for Train Simulator recreates the busy line as it is seen today, and features the criss-crossing commuter, high speed and freight lines that see dense traffic on a daily basis.A number of passenger and freight locomotives and trains are also included with the route, including the DB BR 406 ICE 3M, DB BR 189, DB BR 425, DB BR 294 and associated freight wagons.ScenariosSeven scenarios for the route:Night ContainersRheinau ReplacementSchwetzingen FreightKarlsruhe CommuteMannheim BoundRefreezing the IceSouthbound to KarlsruheMore scenarios are available on Steam Workshop online and in-game.

PZB and LZP operate both as expected, next to no fualts with the route only noticed one unexpected speed change but not everything can be prefect. If you like German routes both high speed, commuter or freight it's worth a buy (but as always wait for sale for best price).. This route is great :) Its like 3 Routes in one ->1 Freight, 1 Local and 1 highspeed -> You will speed up to 270 kph and you wont be slowed with stupid bends like in Munich Augsburg :). All in all an excellent route that I very much enjoyed playing, thx DTG. It's rare for me to complete all career scenarios for a route, but got much pleasure driving all 10 over just a couple of days; which says it all! :) The included rolling stock is IMHO generous and a distinct improvement on previous versions of same locos, especially the supplied ICE 3. The route comprises a nice mix of a super fast Inter City line, together with a slower more winding line for local stop-start commuter traffic and freight runs. The huge Mannheim yard offers ample potential opportunity for creating some very involved freight scenarios. Surely one of the best German routes for the game!. I LOVE THIS ROUTE:Pros:Correct trainsLong routeRealistic stations and sceneryGood ScenariosCons:Scenarios for 294 please!Overall, one of the best routes. This DLC appears to have caused a virus in my computer, so when it works it's amazing; but it rarely does so - I can't really recommend it.. Bought recently and downloaded the Add on "Mannheim to Karlrue" to my T.S 2017..Thought it seemed to be an interesting and a good one..Must say I'm very disappointed with this add on! As many others reported, it has also caused me problems..If I using a "Quick Drive" and traveling from Karlsrue Gbf..( I am a freight train fan) with the final destination Mannheim Rbf.. happens the following: about 3 km before the final destination. A Game Over Error occurs. The reason is said to be an train collision !!? Does not matter what kind of train I use.. Has tested with both long freight trains, to single, so-called "light engine" + all times of the day and different seasons. Can not understand why this happens ?? Must be a another big bug !! Where can I find any available update that corrects this annoying error ??If not exist? ..I can not recommend this add on :-(apart from this...otherwise a very good add on!Update 2017-04-28: tonight I tried to drive an IC train from Mannheim Hbf to Karlsrue Hbf..when I came to the High Speed section..What happened? Yes, once again a "game over" Occurred..caused by a train collision. Do not ask me where .. NOT with my train at leastThis add on is complete full of errors !!!To Dovetail Games: withdraw this add on from the market .. make a complete renovation of it .. or scrap it completely!. the german routes such as this is always scenic to say the least.the main problem is speed changes which are not displayed on the hud.the trackside signalling is accurate though.so learn the route and signals and dont rely on the hud so much.i concur with growlers review.a german route worth picking up but as with all trainsim product wait for sales,unless its smokeboxs creations then get his releases straight away.. I like the route and the trains. I just wish there was a few more scenarios with the ICE. Only two scenarios are included and one is with bad weather.. Okay, for once, this actually LOOKS kinda decent, which can't be said for all German TS routes. Buuuuuut.If almost your entire route is LZB signalled (which is fine by me) - how did nobody catch that the LZB distance bar in the ICE3 cab is completely incapable of correctly displaying a distance, jumping from 4000m directly to 3000m, and showing 1000m when the actual distance to the signal is ~1500m? Making a couple of friggin' LEDs light up correctly isn't rocket science, guys.Oh, and the rest of the signalling is really weird, too (as usual).. Hi: Don't Usual Comment on much. But this route for me defiantly deserve,s a mention. Also. Don't run night Scenario due to poor eyesight. However on this occasion. Run a night Scenario. I found it very good both as a Scenario and visual. I would recommend this route same as others. Which inspired me to purchase this route.
