    The Betuweroute is a double-track freight railway between Rotterdam and Germany. Betuweroute is the official name, after the Betuwe area through which the route passes. The line is popularly called Betuwelijn, after an older local rail line in the same region. The line extends into Germany as the Oberhausen–Arnhem railway, and it is part of Project No. 5 of the Trans-European Transport Network. It is 159 km (99 mi) long and has a top speed of 120 km/h (75 mph).

    Excellent idea and speaking of this route this is the international freight line extension of HRR because at Zevenaar it meets the Duisburg-Oberhausen Arnhem railway line. You forgot about the Iron Ore trains with 189s these have a Yellow triangle to their front and rear sides
