    This is my First Suggestion. So sorry for any Mistakes and remind me if i missed something

    Links Niederrheinstrecke
    Max: 160km/h
    Lenght: 145km (Nijmegen-Neuss 109 km) So quite Long
    I think that the Route between Nijmegen and Cologne would be a unique addition to the Game. Especially in the 80s. Back then there were still some Long Distanz Train Running for example the D417 in the 1984 Timetable of the Linke Rheinstrecke. What makes this Route so unique is the mix of Mainline and Branch line. The Part between Nijmegen and Krefeld is a Branchline with Diesel (Like Niddertalbahn). Then you change Traction in Krefeld und run with electricity to Cologne. A shorter Version would be just to Neuss. There is also a Freightyard in Neuss. Fitting locos would be the 218 for the Part between Nijmegen and Krefeld. For Freight-, Long and Short distance trains. Maybe the Br 212 which is just the old 294. Part between Krefeld and Neuss the 110 would be fitting for passenger Trains and the 140 for freight trains. New could be the old M-Wagen (UIC-X (DB)).

    New Locos/ Waggons
    -Br 212 (optional...would be more realistic but not necessary
    -Br 150 or 151 for freight (very optional)
    -UIC-X (DB)
    -Silberling Cab Car

    Reusable Material
    -Br 218 DBB
    -Br 110
    -BR 111
    -BR 103
    -BR 140
    -BR 628
    -BR V60
    -(Br 194) Not realistic but we have it as a old freight loco)
    -Silberlinge
    -Byg
    -NS IC for Ai in Nijmegen

    Trains
    -4 D Trains Between Amsterdam CS and München/Klagenfurt and back

    -3 E Trains between Nijmegen and Frankfurt and back

    -Freight Trains between Nijmegen and Neuss

    -Local Trains between Nijmegen and Krefeld (Further Running to cologne or Düsseldorf)

    License
    DB
    NS

    More Info on the Route and the Traffic will come as soon as i ´m home

    Would love to hear some opinions

    Would really love to Play this Route and not just because i live on the Route.

    D trains with those lovely (un)comfortable UIC BM232 etc. coaches would make my day.

    218s never worked to Nijmegen, 215s did.

    Yes I am aware but a 215 would be a little bit too much to ask for if we have already the 218.
