Here is my latest Swiss route suggestion it's on a link on my Google Docs https://docs.google.com/document/d/14pnrgca5yezXZE7F8esDW3_Cr-nAU5qDMaJ7pqVe744/edit?usp=drivesdk Includes my typical Route suggestions layout for new and old users as said in this docs https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jihCSFw-yacq2nR4S4B50aOuY3CK3-19/view?usp=drivesdk
I went to open it and say 58MB's... what on earth is in there. Sure its a great suggestion but it will take Ages to load on my phone. Albeit it sounds extremely interesting for a Swiss freight room - not something I'm interested in personally but sounds interesting and good.
To explain it for you it has pictures and videos of the route. One of these is actually an entire IR36 run from Basel to Zürich Kloten Airport. Which is why it has a big size. I'll post it here directly for those who have problems reading the Google Docs. For those that have problems reading the google docs that's attached on mobile. See the post below

First off it introduces the largest city in Switzerland Zurich which is highly requested into the game followed by hump yard switching something that is missing in the game. Mighty Zürich Limmattal Freight route that issue by having a working hump yard that is Zürich Limmattal complete with working automated switches and retarders to slow down freight wagons. Additionally it introduces new Swiss strings that have been requested for a long time therefore it's a perfect way to introduce them complete with working announcements Another way to think of this route is that it's Luzern Sursee Swiss Safety systems Nahverkehr Dresden Rush Hour feeling meeting Cumberland Maryland Sand Patch Grade and Barstow California Cajon Pass routes since they are home to hump yards. That way it's prepared for multiplayer including player one locomotive driver while the second player works the Hump by draining the air brakes so that Freight Wagons don't have their brakes come on while being hump switched. In addition they also perform uncoupling Freight wagons using a stick due to Switzerland using buffers and Chains later replaced by DAC Couplers currently used by 442 Red and silver colours 423 425 403 406 and 401 trains. In addition to the upcoming S-Bahn Vorarlberg/Wien ÖBB Baureihe 4024. Which only requires the player to pull the rod like a North American AAR couplers freight wagons. Overall these are the reasons to why Mighty Zürich Limmattal Freight should be made for both TSW 3 and 4.
