The Großheringen – Saalfeld railway line is an electrified, double-track main line in Thuringia, which was originally built and operated by the Saal-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft. It leads along the Saale from Großheringen to Saalfeld. Until the opening of the Ebensfeld – Leipzig high-speed line at the end of 2017, it was part of the German north-south main connection between Berlin, Leipzig, Nuremberg and Munich. The historic Saalbahn has its starting point in Großheringen station and crosses the Ilm with the connecting railway west. The east connection line begins at the Saaleck junction at 55.89 kilometers on the Halle – Bebra line, crosses the Saale and joins the west connection line at the Großheringen Ghs junction after 2.2 kilometers. As far as Rudolstadt-Schwarza, where the Saale is crossed, the route runs on the orographic left side of the river. The federal highway 88 runs parallel to the railway line from Camburg to Schwarza and the federal highway 85 from Schwarza to Saalfeld. The difference in altitude between Großheringen and Saalfeld is 99 meters, the maximum incline is 1: 200 (5 ‰). Since the route follows the course of the Saale, there are eighty curved tracks, the smallest radius of which is 450 meters, which means that the maximum speed of 120 km / h is comparatively low. For trains with tilting technology, on the other hand, speeds of up to 160 km/h, for example here we could get the ICE T Br411, because it can tilt and it would be something new for TSW 2, because we don't have any trains that have the tilting function, here you can find more information on Wikipedia: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahnstrecke_Großheringen–Saalfeld
If you own this route and Riesa-Dresden then the DB BR 411 can appear on Riesa-Dresden as ICE Line 50 Frankfurt Am Main Hbf to Dresden Hbf via Leipzig Riesa Erfurt. On the other hand freight locomotives can layer to Main Spessart Bahn Rhein-Ruhr Osten Ruhr-Sieg Nord and Hamburg-Lübeck
