Dear Community, Today I want to propose the island railway from Stralsund Hbf over the old Rügen dam to the largest German holiday island Rügen. Rügen is known for its chalk coast. The idea came to me because I'm on vacation here and the area is beautiful. I am also planning to write an article on the "Rasenden Roland" - interesting for the Spirit of Steam addon. The route leads from Stralsund, a Hanseatic city, "the gateway to Ruegen", past the huge Ruegen bridge to the romantic island of Ruegen. There the route leads to Sassnitz - the city on the chalk cliffs and the Jasmund national park. From there a small branch leads via Prora - the gigantic bathing metropolis of the Nazis to Ostseebad Binz. One could also depict the Sassnitz ferry port, where Deutsche Bahn parks many trains and freight trains rarely go there. There is regional traffic on the route with the RE9 from Rostock It stops everywhere and is served by the ODEG class 4746. [PICTURE] There is also long-distance traffic on the route. In long-distance traffic, individual circuits of the lines ICE 26.1, IC 27, IC 30 and IC 51 stop at the stations in Stralsund and Bergen and continue to Ostseebad Binz. The ICE trains usually run with class 411 [ICE T] -Tilting trains multiple units; the IC trains are usually hauled by class 101 or 120 electric locomotives. main features 68 km stretch from Stralsund to Sassnitz and the Baltic resort of Binz DB BR 120 in DB's traffic red livery DB BR 155 in the DB's traffic red livery DB BR 143 in clean, weathered and heavily weathered traffic red livery of the DB Double-deck (DoSto) wagons and control cars in clean, weathered and heavily weathered traffic red paint for the DB Regio ARkimbz, Avmz & Bmpz cars in DB Intercity livery Eanos x052, Kkt & Ktmm bulk goods wagons in DB livery Shimmns & Habbins wagons in different liveries SGGRSS-B container wagons in different liveries Notable places like: Strelasund crossing Small Jasmunder Bodden near Lietzow Sassnitz-Mukran freight yard I hope you like my suggestion. I link you to Wikipedia articles in German for more information. I wish you a nice summer and I'm already looking forward to the Riesa Dresden railway line, although I think it's bad that it has been shortened.

I've ridden this route before. Very scenic! Stralsund Hbf is super old-school and the bridge across to the island of Ruegen is super cool, there's also ferry's in between Stralsund and Ruegen that would be a nice touch across the water!
