    This route goes from Osnabrück Hbf via Münster(Westf)Hbf and Dülmen to Recklinghausen Hbf. The route is 108,8 km (67,6 miles) long for passenger trains and it has an 11,9 km (7,4 miles) freight train detour around Münster(Westf)Hbf.

    The line has PZB and sometimes LZB on the line. The freight detour around Münster is partly single-track. The maximum speeds vary from 110 km/h (68,3 mph) around Lengerich up to 200 km/h (124,3 mph) between Münster and Lengerich, but mostly 160 km/h (99,4 mph).

    The line is a bit longer than the Frankfurt(Main) - Fulda route but makes it clear to be possible to build. Most of the trains are already made; only the Stadler Flirt, IC2 and ICE4 need to be built. These trains can be expected soon because they are common on too many German routes.

    Looks like you do want Rollbahn Recklinghausen Münster Westf you can probably go Rollbahn Recklinghausen Münster Bremen Hbf. Excellent idea overall your Northern section is in train simulator classic

    Now that TSW has the route hopper, it could be a possibility. The length requires a split and Osnabrück Hbf could be a good place. But even then the distance from Osnabrück to Bremen is 121,7 km (75,6 miles) by rail and has no between stops for the long-distance trains. It's a lot of fun for some, but boring for others.

    I also rethought the possibility from Osnabrück to Essen, with a route hopping there on the Hauptstrecke Rhein-Ruhr, but that is still 132,8 km (82,5 miles) long through route-creating extensive landscape. Besides the time and costs (purchase price) it can crash some game devices. For that reason, the route stops just before the Ruhr area. But everyone is free to give their opinion in the replies.
