    The Three Country Corner route lies at the heart of Europe and covers three countries. It starts at Lake Constance in Germany on the Island of Lindau, crosses over to the mainland on a railway dam, and then follows the shores of Lake Constance to the city of Bregenz in Austria.

    From there you have two choices - either continue on the main line or take a branch line into Switzerland. This branch line crosses the River Rhine, which forms the border between Austria and Switzerland, and continues on to the city of Rorschach where the line terminates.

    The main line starts its slow climb through the valleys to the city of Bludenz, surrounded by the often snow-capped mountains of the Alps, then becomes a single track mountain pass (Arlberg Pass) that winds its way through the Alps. When the tracks reach the very top of the pass at St. Anton, the route finishes.



    the locos:

    The DB BR 101 is a class of three-phase electric locomotives built by Adtranz and operated by DB Fernverkehr in Germany. 145 locomotives were built between 1996 and 1999 to replace the 30-year-old and aging Class 103 as the flagship of the Deutsche Bahn, primarily hauling Intercity services. This class encompasses the latest generation of locomotives of the Deutsche Bahn

    On 21 November 1972 the first locomotive, 151 001, was delivered by AEG and Krupp. It was followed by 11 further pilot locomotives, which were extensively tested before the main order was built. Altogether 170 locomotives were built. Originally the Class 151 locomotives were also suitable for passenger service, however it is not possible anymore due to the lack of required safety equipment.
    Deutsche Bahn's Class 151 fleet was sold to leasing company Railpool in 2017

    What’s included?

    • 130km (80 miles) of track covering three countries (Austria, Germany and Switzerland)
    • 40 detailed stations
    • Four different and highly realistic signalling systems
    • Specially designed and accurate country-specific gantry systems
    • Custom signs along the route, including speed signs, hectometer signs and warning signs
    • Detailed and accurate country-specific station assets
    • Specially designed tracks replicate the real-world tracks along the route
    • DB BR 101 In DB black livery and DB traffic red livery
    • DB BR 151 in DB traffic red livery

    This route would be very scenic for tsw2, probably being the most scenic German route yet, and the fact is passes through 3 country’s is pretty impressive, I would love to see Austria, Germany and Switzerland all In 1 route

    Really excellent idea and for this route you have Railjet to Lindau Hbf and Rabe 503 St Margethen Switzerland Bregenz Austria Germany Lindau Hbf towards München Hbf. This can form a Corridor towards München Hbf via the Allgäu Bahn another TS21 route that must be in TSW2. This one is a Train Sim 21 route that also needs to be in TSW2
