    1- Where can one find actual DB timetables? All I can get via Google are websites trying to sell me tickets, and not a classic, y'know, timetable, a list of all the trains arriving and departing from Station X

    2 - Does anyone know in real life DB practice, how long station stops are? I realize that the length varies depending on the type of train, how important the station is, and possibly other things like a scheduled crew restroom break, but I would like to know what those various times are.

    3 - Although I've used the RW Utility package manager, I can't seem to get the freeware VT-08 to install properly, even though it has supposedly been updated to be TS2020 compatible

    [1] You can download pdfs of most DB Timetables
    http://kursbuch.bahn.de/hafas/kbview.exe/dn?rt=1&mainframe=IK_strecken
    If that does not work search for Kursbuch der Deutschen Bahn.
    When you get to the map click on an area the you can click on each route that leads to the Download page
    And you get a link to a page like this http://kursbuch.bahn.de/hafas/kbvie...ilename=KB960_H_Taeglich_G29012020.pdf&orig=k

    [2] The dwell time at local stations is around 40 seconds - less on S-Bahn routes.
    At Major Stations the Dwell will be related to the timetable and if another train has to proceed it
