Hello all, TrainGeek08 here, and today I am suggesting a loco for the S-Bahn Vorarlberg, the OBB 1016/1116 'Taurus' for use on Railjet and freight services on the route I know the EC services are worked by the Taurus already in game but it would be more accurate to introduce the Taurus in its Austrian state. Loco Information: Based on the Eurosprinter concept the ES 64 U was developed as a universal electric locomotive with a top speed of 230 km/h (140 mph). The series ES 64 U is only capable of operating on the 15 kV 16.7 Hz AC supply. It is in service in Austria with ÖBB as Class 1016. Unlike the F series, all U series are equipped with quill drive instead, thus reducing the track forces. The ÖBB assigned the protected name Taurus to Class 1016 (and later to the Classes 1116 and 1216); since then all ES 64 U+ series are widely known as 'Taurus' locos. Stock included in base DLC: The 1016/1116 'Taurus' in ÖBB and Railjet liveries Training (In Training Center): ÖBB 1016/1116 Introduction Scenarios: Doubling Up: (Difficulty - 2) Drive this double ÖBB freight train from Bludenz to Wolfurt Yard whilst following a stopping service bound for Lindau Freight Assist: (Difficulty - 2) A freight train has failed on the approach to Feldkirch, drive this ÖBB Taurus from Wolfurt to Feldkirch to rescue the failed train and take it to Bludenz Snowjet: (Difficulty - 3) Drive this Railjet from Bregenz to Bludenz whilst battling the elements and also keeping to time, now that's a challenge in a blizzard... Timetable: Incorporated into base routes' timetable Coaches included: The Siemens Viaggio Comfort coaches in Railjet livery Coaches Information: Siemens Viaggio Comfort is a brand of locomotive-hauled railroad passenger cars built by Siemens Mobility. The car was designed in the early 2000s and was based on the earlier Siemens Viaggio Classic railcars. The railcars were first used in 2008 on Railjet, a high-speed rail service in Europe operated by the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) and Czech Railways (ČD). I hope you enjoyed this suggestion, put your thoughts on this one coming to TSW4, I've been TrainGeek08 as always, enjoy the rest of your day, and goodbye
You are missing the new nightjet coaches which would run between Bludenz-Bregenz the other one is Bludenz-Feldkirch for Zürich Hb trips. Another version night jet with monorail due to Feldkirch having a dock for those. Remember the 1016/1116 will count for True Taurus 1820 km achievement just like playing RSN 155 counts for Hot off the Press
I was originally going to include Nightjet but thought against it in favour of the 1016 for freight duties
Thank you for telling me about it ÖBB Baureihe 1016 can also do Wiesel Doppelstockwagen trips with 1116. If you want a dedicated Freight locomotive on the route then 1293
Yeah, that could be another option for another freight locomotive if the Taurus is a passenger-exclusive (Railjet/Nightjet) based DLC
