    The route
    This route runs mainly on line 12 from Antwerpen-Centraal to Lage Zwaluwe and line 52 from Antwerpen-Zuid to Dendermonde, but they run a commuter service only until Puurs. The route features 21 stations, including the mighty station of Antwerpen-Centraal, the historic station of Essen, and the voltage switch between Roosendaal and Essen. Line 12 also serves all of the freight trains to and from the port of Antwerp, so there is a lot of freight going over this route. (In the file you can see the complete route map)

    Services
    There could be a lot of variations in the service there could be freight and also passenger with a few examples being:
    IC07 intercity Essen-Antwerpen-Centraal-Brussel-Zuid-Charleroi-Centraal
    S32 S-trein (stopping train) Roosendaal-Essen-Antwerpen-centraal-Puurs
    P7200 (rush hour train) Roosendaal-Essen-Anwterpen-Centraal

    Rolling stock
    MS75 used for the S32 and P7200 services
    MS86 used for the S32 and P7200 services
    Hle 18 and m6 couches for the IC07 services
    MR08 used for IC07 and S32 but only to Essen (because they can't run under 1.5KV Dutch wire)
    Hle 28 for the freight services
    Hlr 77 diesel engine for freight services

    I hope that they will make this route for Train Sim World.

    Nice suggestion!

    I hope that Belgium will eventually also join the TSW series.
    The rolling stock is excellent and of course we cannot forget the stations.
