About This route proposal is set in 1980 and covers a heavily industrialised section of SNCF’s Nord-Est network in the Lorraine region of northeastern France. The route forms a complete loop running through Metz, Montigny-lès-Metz, Noveant-sur-Moselle, Arnaville, Jarny, Homecourt, Maizières-lès-Metz. There would be branches out to Ancienne Mine Vector, Thionville, Blenod-les-pont-a-mousson and Dommary Baroncourt This line would be good for connecting France’s coalfields and steelworks with dense commuter corridors and extensive marshalling yards. The length of the line would be about (158.47 km) 98.47 mi. Services The route includes over 100 player-driven services, with extensive AI activity. Some possible passenger services Regional Express: Metz – Dommary-Baroncourt – Jarny Suburban Push-Pull: Metz – Thionville – Maizières-lès-Metz Loop Service: Circular services via Metz loops and Nouvelle Ville Some possible freight services Ore Trains: Thionville → Rombas/Metz Steel Coils: Uckange → Woippy or onward Yard Duties: BB 63500 at Woippy, Jarny, and steel spurs Industrial Runs: Heavy ore trains from Hayange & Homecourt Rollingstock SNCF BB 12000 SNCF BB 13000 SNCF CC 14000 SNCF CC 14100 SNCF BB 16500 SNCF BB 63500
Got a feeling this could still fall foul of SNCF refusing to licence any more of their operations in the game. Lovely suggestion though.
