    I would Like to See in TSW the Rübelandbahn Blankenburg(Harz) to Elbingerode in the early 2000s or Late 1990s because it’s a beautiful Single Track electriefied 30,3 km (18,8 mi) Long Route trough the Harz Mountains with gradients of up to 6,1%. The Route hasn‘t the usual German electrification of 15 kV AC and 16 2/3 Hz instead it use 25 kV AC 50 Hz.

    I would really love to see this route in TSW! It is a varied mountain route featuring picturesque scenery and many unique railway characteristics, such as the Michaelstein switchback station. It would also be one of the few German lines where freight traffic predominates.
    I would set the line in the mid-1990s. That way, you could even run trains as far as Königshütte. Typical passenger cars on the line were the Halberstadt center-entry coaches.
