Introduction Hi, welcome to another post in my series "Improving Lineside Industry". I'm going to be looking at various routes in Train Sim World and highlighting what we have, and what we could have, in regard to railways that serve the various industries along them. I find these to be very interesting, and I think maximizing opportunities for players to use them in TSW would greatly enhance our game. I've tried to limit any suggestions to what is just about already within the scope of the route, and might just need some extra modelling of scenery, and perhaps a few new wagons. It must be said that I haven't been a fan of railways for very long, and I'm from Australia, so I'd love for you to add your knowledge about these far-flung routes and correct anything I get wrong. I have speculated at times, as information can be hard to come by. (Some of the screenshots here of the in-game map are rather poor-looking as I couldn't do any better with their resolution when zoomed out. Some areas do not have 3D buildings on Google Maps so only some locations will have those images included.) Route In this post, I'll be looking at LGV Méditerranée. I believe the route is set in 2020. Here is a map of the route as represented in game, numbered with each location that I will be highlighting. Industries Location 1 In Saint-Charles, there is a small maintenance of way facility. Players could form works trains and run them around the route. Location 2 Derichebourg is a garbage management company with a depot situated at the former train station of Saint Louis les Aygalades. They collect rubbish from around the city and pack it into containers which are then loaded onto trains to be sent to the incinerator at Fos-sur-Mer. If suitable wagons and locomotives were modelled, players could shunt flat wagons into the warehouse for loading, then create consists for departure. Conclusion I hope this was interesting. The scope of these improvements is perhaps too expansive and would require a lot of work. Please feel free to add to this and let me know what I've got wrong. Thanks for reading!
The matching locomotive is SNCF BB22200 with TVM-430 for 200 kmh freight videos Yellow Colour SNCF Infra BB2200 Shunter for local jobs BB 64700 with TBB 64800 slug This should make LGV the French answer to SFS Hannover Wurzburg during the late nights since you can now make and run work trains using both BB22200 & BB64700. In the case of Hannover Wurzburg the full name of Kassel Wurzburg this occurs during the late nights daytime Dispolok 182.
