    About
    The Děčín–Dresden railway, also called the Elbe Valley Railway (German: Elbtalbahn) is an electrified main line in Saxony and the Czech Republic. Formerly called the Saxon-Bohemian State Railway (Sächsisch-Böhmische Staatseisenbahn), the line is part of the Dresden to Prague route and is one of Europe's most important trunk routes (Magistralen). It runs along the Elbe Valley from Děčín via Bad Schandau and Pirna to Dresden. The first section of the line was opened in 1848 and is one of the oldest lines in Germany.

    The Děčín–Dresden line is part of line 22 of the Trans-European Transport Networks (TEN-T; Athens–Sofia–Budapest–Vienna–Prague–Nuremberg/Dresden) and received €11 million in 2000 to 2006 from the European Regional Development Fund.[2] The line is also the most northern section of Pan-European railway corridor IV connecting Dresden and Istanbul. The track is the only electrified line that directly connects Germany with the Czech Republic. It is a key part of the freight line between Scandinavia and Southern Europe. The line is the fastest link from the Czech Republic to the North Sea ports and as such very busy with freight. Direct EuroCity trains on the Elbe Valley line connect Berlin with Prague and Budapest. The Schöna–Dresden section of the line is part of the Dresden S-Bahn network.

    There is a large amount of rollingstock so im not going to list them but will link some videos below, The route is 65.785 km (40.877 mi).

    I'd be very much interested in exploring a new country. So yes please, looking forward driving the section in the Czech Republic. :)

    Bring it on to the game and set the common origin to Dresden Central Station to merge it with Nahverkehr Dresden that way we can go to Schöna from Meißen
