    Hello everyone!
    I thought about which routes should appear in Train Sim World 5. Then I came across the Mannheim-Frankfurt (Main) railway line. This route runs from Mannheim main station via Biblis and Groß-Gerau to Frankfurt main station and is 74.8 km long. However, this route also includes a junction to the Frankfurt airport long-distance train station, which is mainly only served by long-distance trains such as the ICE and very rarely by the IC. On this route, a maximum speed of 200 km / h can be achieved with the help of the German train control systems "PZB", "SiFa" and "LZB". In Mannheim there is also a freight yard or a shunting yard that would be perfect for shunting trips.
    This route is used daily by ICE trains, freight trains, regional trains. There also run S-Bahn trains.
    !! Below you can see the important details and which trains should be present on this route !!

    Important details:
    Length: 74,8 kilometers long / ~46,6 miles long
    Top speed: 200 kilometers per hour / ~124,3 miles per hour


    Trains:
    1. ICE services are completed with the ICE 1/DB BR 401 (left) and ICE 4/DB BR 412 (right)

    Definitely on my watchlist (among SFS Köln-Rhein/Main and Frankfurt-Aschaffenburg). My wish is to have a network of connected routes and with this one (especially with the upcoming Mannheim-Kaiserslautern) and the two that I mentioned we're looking at 9 (!) routes that would be in a huge network probably exceeding 1000km in track length.
