    This is quite a unique freight service, starting from Drsden Hbf at around 10:00, and I'm wondering what the context around it is about.
    Unlike the majority of freight on this route during the day this service dioesn't take the avoiding line, instead using the RB stopping line. Originally i thought this was possibly due to another service being on the avoiding line but when I looked on the map there was nothing there.
    The service pulls into a siding at Priestewitz for around 5 minuites and in that time a RB service and a freight service pass by. I'm unsure as to why the train pulls into the siding. Is it for a driver change, inspection. I didn't think it would be to get out of the way for a passenger service as most of them are stopping services and the top speed is only 120 kmh which is what I was doing.
    Nevertheless, this is a fun and unique service to play.
