    Hello,


    I have some suggestions for future routes that would be lovely to see on TSW:

    A really nice route would be something along the Saxon-Franconian trunk line (see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saxon-Franconian_trunk_line). Currently, Coradia Continentals (DB class 1440) are running along the line and it would be great to see those inside the game as well. The tracks are meandering in the mountainous region, making it a very interesting route for drivers. The western section between Dresden and Freiberg follows the river in the valley for example. Along this stretch, there is also S-Bahn traffic that runs doubledecker loco trains (the only remaining S-Bahn service using this type of train) and freight trains. The eastern part of the route is also enjoyable to drive through the meandering sections and runs across the Göltzsch Viaduct (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Göltzsch_Viaduct), which is the largest brick-build bridge in the world. Until some years ago, this route was operated by diesel tilting trains (DB class 612) and has recently been upgraded with overhead wires and now also operates DB class 1440.
    Cab rides can be found here:

    or the other direction here:


    Another thing that is strikingly missing so far are diesel lines from Germany. A good route could for example be part of the local DB network "Erzgebirsbahn" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erzgebirgsbahn), that is operating DB class 642 Siemens Desiro Classic diesel trains in the Erzgebirge in the southern part of Saxony. There are multiple scenic routes to chose from and a classic German DMU that could be added to the game.


    What could also be a very interesting diesel route is the one from Leipzig to Chemnitz (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahnstrecke_Leipzig–Geithain and https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahnstrecke_Neukieritzsch–Chemnitz). At the moment, Siemens ER20 Eurorunner diesel locomotives are hauling „ancient“ n-Wagen (Silberling) on the route, and there are some interesting regional services running along there as well (from S-Bahn Leipzig and the Chemnitz City-Bahn operating Vossloh Citylink hybrid EMU/DMU ( https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vossloh_Citylink) for example). In the future, the route is due to see battery electric multiple-units of DB class 1440 and should get overhead wires as well.


    I hope these routes will be taken into consideration, and I would be happy to support further.


    Best regards
