## About This Content
Partner Programme member Aerosoft brings the detailed and scenic Rhine Valley
Railway between Freiburg and Basel to Train Simulator!
Envisaged as an important route throughout the south of Germany and into
Switzerland, the Rhine Valley Railway was funded in the late 1830s. The Baden
State Railway knew they wanted to build a line between Mannheim and Basel,
making it as straight as possible to keep both journey times and construction
costs at a minimum, all while serving as many major cities as possible.
The line subsequently followed the natural path already carved out by the
Rhine, with construction lasting until 1855. The line opened in sections as
each was completed, and the railway in full quickly became a key route for
Germany and Switzerland. When first built, the line was actually 5ft 3in in
gauge (Irish Gauge), before being converted to standard in the mid-1850s.
Today, the line is one of the most important in Germany, ferrying local and
international passenger and freight traffic, almost always operating at peak
capacity. Two of Europe’s largest marshalling yards are present along the
railway to host the level of freight traffic it gets.
The route from Aerosoft is set around 2013/14 and covers the 60 km section
between Freiburg (Germany) and Basel (Switzerland), including the newly built
high-speed line, taking the route to over 80 km of expertly crafted railway
which will be yours to explore. Combine that with 2 locomotives, the DB BR 111
and 189, plus the addition of the DB BR 401 ‘ICE 1’, you will soon have a
package unlike any other, so keep an eye out for more on the Rhine Valley:
