    About the route:
    The Frankfurt Süd – Aschaffenburg railway line is a standard-gauge, continuously double-track and electrified main railway line in southern Hessen and Bavaria. It begins in the Frankfurt Südbahnhof and runs from the Frankfurt Ostbahnhof on the right bank of the Main via the Hanau Hauptbahnhof to Aschaffenburg Hbf.
    After the construction of the Taunus Railway in 1839-1840, starting from Frankfurt am Main down the Main to Wiesbaden, there were soon plans for a railway up the Main to Hanau. The Frankfurt-Hanauer Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft was established in 1844. Construction began in 1845.

    Excellent idea and if I were you move Db BR187 as Layer since it's a DLC for Schnellfahrstrecke Köln-Aachen ICE 3 layer should be DB BR403 from HMA. DB BR152 freight locomotive here Freight and Doppelstockwagen capable DB BR 145 should do RE54/55. DLC DB BR445/446 S Bahn S8/S9 To Hanau DB BR 423 & DB BR420 S-Bahn Rhein Main. The end of the route the pop-up screen should say do you wish to continue to Gemünden yes or no. For ICE 3 Do wish to continue to Lohr Yes or no?

    Just wondering, I've seen a lot of different trains between Frankfurt and Aschaffenburg, but a RE/RB with Dostos and BR 218?
    (I remember: BR 146, BR 111, BR 143 with Dosotos, Puma train sets or n-Wagen and BR 425, BR 1440, BR446 or a short time BR 429)

    Maybe 'ever' as extention, since there are sadly no real plans yet for that. We could see that as short route indeed

    A wonderful suggestion, however, I'm concerned about the performance and FPS in the Frankfurt area. The game already struggles with Munchen, I can only imagine that It'll be worse in Frankfurt.

    More optimization work might have to be done in order for this route to run at a manageable pace, especially with consoles. Or it can just be a massive, empty and unrealistic yard to the entrance of one of the busiest stations in Europe, which would be a terrible move for a game aiming to be realistic.

    With that said, I cant think of anyone who would dislike this magnificent view on the approach to Frankfurt.

    You are absolutely correct but the only ones to get proper Layers are PS5 Xbox Series X/S and PC. For the consoles PS5 Xbox Series X/S that interlocking would mean PZB & Sifa acknowledge B button Xbox Circle PS5
