The Intercity 2 is the name of Deutsche Bahn’s long-distance passenger traffic formed with spacious “Twindexx” double-deck coaches and control car, an evolution of DE Regio’s doppelstock. Twinned with state-of-the-art traction such as the DB BR 146.5, and sporting DB’s striking intercity livery, the IC2 has been offering a comfortable mix of high speed and high capacity, taking passengers on inter-city services at speeds up to 160 km/h since its introduction in 2015.

In Train Simulator, you can climb aboard the iconic IC2 and take it for a drive yourself, from either the cab of the capable DB BR 146.5, or the DBpbzfa 668.2 control car, and race along the busy West Rhine route in bold white and red style!

Constructed at the turn of the century, and only a year after the original Albula Line was built, Bernina Line is arguably the most challenging of the existing Swiss routes, having to climb and fall within a set distance means many breath-taking hairpin turns and some of the steepest gradients ever attempted by conventional rail.

A unique and scenic route struggled to pay for itself after a costly construction, but despite the financial issues of the 1930’s – 1940’s, Bernina Line survived thanks to the acquisition by Rhaetian Railway (RhB). Thanks to the efforts of Rivet Games, you are now able to take the famed Bernina Express to its Italian terminus, all while traversing the iconic Brusio spiral viaduct and running through the streets of Tirano in Train Simulator!

Union Pacific’s distinctive Electro-Motive SD9043MAC – all 4,300-horsepower, 400,000 pounds, and 80-feet of it – now comes to Train Simulator!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1109206

North America’s large railroads have historically had an appetite for ever bigger and more powerful locomotives and in the mid-1990s, both Electro-Motive and General Electric attempted to satisfy that horsepower hunger with single-power-plant, six-axle, 6,000-horsepower diesel locomotives. GE’s entry into this 6,000-horsepower locomotive competition was the AC6000CW, while Electro-Motive cataloged the SD90MAC.

RSSLO’s challenging Ennstalbahn, spanning around 100 scenic km, from Bischofshofen to Selzthal has arrived for Train Simulator!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1107810

The Ennstalbahn was established in the 1870s as a railway link between Styria and Salzburg, with onward connections to Germany. The line was put to use as both a passenger and freight line, and despite the harsh terrain making it a slower-paced route, traffic and popularity soared.

Electrified throughout after World War 2, this mostly single-track line plays host to both modern and classic electric motive power, including the ÖBB 1042 complete with its historic traction control wheel.

Spanning around 100 scenic km, RSSLO’s Ennstalbahn, from Bischofshofen to Selzthal, is now ready to be explored in Train Simulator!
