Another route suggestion, This time, the 36.5km Saint-Gervais–Vallorcine Line, built in the metre gauge and joining the towns of Saint-Gervais-les-Bains-Le Fayet with Vallorcine and Le Châtelard over the Swiss border. Built between 1901 and 1908, the line snakes up the Chamonix Valley, passing through Alpine scenery and tranquil villages, passing glacial rivers and the main motorway linking France with Italy. Features of the railway, As said before, it is a narrow gauge mountain railway line, so expect steep climbs and decents either side of the Col des Montets tunnel at 1,365m. Steepest of which is over 9%. The line is adhesion traction, so that's one heck of a climb! There are also 3 viaducts, the 1,883m Col des Montets tunnel and anti-avalance galleries. The railway is powered by DC 3rd rail. At the Saint-Gervais end, the line connects with the SNCF mainline station, allowing TGVs to be layered in as AI services. The Mont Blanc tramway station is also located nearby, providing a nice scenic feature. At Chamonix station, the line has a connection with another mountain railway, the Montenvers Railway, a 5.1km Rack-and-Pinion & adhesion railway. Allowing the possibility of having a sub-route with a very unique type of tourist train. Le Châtelard station also has a connection with a Rack-and-Pinion line, the Martigny-Châtelard. Stations on the line: Saint-Gervais-les-Bains-Le Fayet Chedde Servoz Vaudagne (request stop) Viaduc Sainte Marie (request stop) Les Houches Taconnaz (request stop) Les Bossons Les Pélerins Les Moussoux (request stop) Aiguille du Midi Chamonix Mont-Blanc Les Praz Les Tines La Joux (request stop) Argentière Montroc-le Planet Le Buet Vallorcine Le Châtelard-Frontière Rolling stock The line features 3 different generations of trains Z600 emu, entering service in 1958 - mostly used during busy periods (8 units) Z800 emu, entering service in 1997 - Equipped with Rack-and-Pinion and OHLE gear as well as DC rail, to allow running to Martingy when required. (5 units) Z850 emu, entering service in 2006 Unique gameplay features. This line could add in some unique features, such as snow clearance scenarios during the busy ski season, as well as unqiue driving opportunities for rack-and-pinion operations to Martingy, or on the Montenvers Railway.This would be perfect to introduce a request stop mechanic, where it is not known whether you'll be calling at stations untill you are in sight of the platform or informed by the guard that a passenger wishes to alight there. Meaning that potentially no two services are the same! Services on the line typically take between an hour and 90 minutes, and typically sees at least one train an hour in each direction, using passing loops at a number of stations.

Bring it on and the question is this can TSW 3 handle Rack Railway physics which means using a traction converter from Adhesion to Rack and then back to Adhesion from Rack railway physics?
