    Hello, I would like to see this route in Train Sim World 2. It is a very small route (about 21 Km) and there your standard

    Bellinzona Station

    Terminal of the line and a very important interchange station between Italian-Swiss transits and SBB services.
    The most important line of the station is Bellinzona-Lugano.


    Locarno Station

    2 terminus of the line and a small station exclusively used for the Bellinzona-Lucarno line.

    One of the most important branches of Switzerland branches into 4 different lines, including the one that connects Italy(Milan)
    There is a very high traffic suppressed of freight trains.

    The train I think most used by the Swiss railways is a RABe 524 with 6 carriages (which with the union of 2 trains can reach 12 carriages) and can do 160 km/h.

    The signals are very similar to the German ones and the state can also be transmitted directly to the driver.

    I hope you enjoy this treats and you can think about it!
    Thanks a lot and hello!

    I thought it was an excellent suggestion! Glad to help clear up with image linking issues!

    I think the route is wonderfully beautiful. There is a very nice atmosphere along the line.

    Here is a cab ride video:

    Part 2


    I think the route should include the 19km (2 Stations) to Biasca to be able to contain the entirety of the S20 service between Biasca and Locarno. (In the map below; the S20 service has a dotted line to Airolo - This is because there is only 1 service a day as opposed to the normal hourly S20 service between Biasca and Locarno, and half-hourly service between Bellinzona and Locarno)

    The route could also include the 16km to the Swiss/Italian border that branches at Cadenazzo and would reach to Ranzo-Sant'Abbondio station as part of the the Cadenazzo–Luino line. It could also travel across the border to the first station over the Italian border (Pino-Tronzano station) which is 2km further along, or even the entire Cadenazzo–Luino line which is 31km total (including all the trackage from Cadenazzo mentioned previously).
