Hello everyone, I think it would be interesting to be able to go in the other direction from Dresden, not only because of the border crossing but also because of the beautiful surroundings next to the railway line towards the Czech Republic. Although this route is largely based in Germany, the Czech trains runs all the way to Dresden HBF, which offers a unique opportunity to introduce new rolling stock into the game, along with several kilometers of new railway infrastructure. The S1 provides an S bahn service to Schöna All stations and stops - Dresden HBF - Strehlen - Dresden - Reick - Dresden - Dobritz - Niedersedlitz Hp - Dresden - Zschachwitz - Heidenau - Heidenau Süd - Großsedlitz - Pirna - Obervogelgesang - Stadt Wehlen (Sachs) - Kurort Rathen (Kr Pirna) - Köningstein - Bad Schandau - Krippen - Schmilka - Hirschmühle - Schöna ---- Border between Germany and the Czech Republic ------ - Dolní Žleb - Dolní Žleb zastávka - Děčín-Čertova voda - Děčín-Prostřední Žleb - Děčín-Přípeř - Decin Hlavni Main Total distance: 63.30 km (39.33 miles) Short list of additions Elbe River expansion of existing rolling stock (Vectron) freight or passenger services a part of the Czech Republic New area of Dresden S-Bahn services New rolling stock Rolling stock ČD-Baureihe 371 - Built: 1996–2000, 2004 - Max speed: 160 km/h - 15 kV, 3 kV - Operator: České dráhy DB BR 146/1 - Built: 1997–2002 - Max speed: 160 km/h - 15K volt - Operator: Deutsche Bahn The BR 146/1 looks very similar to the BR 146/2, but it is a different locomotive.
