## Description
### Steam Store Description
The TRAXX series of electric locomotives from Bombardier is responsible for
many of Germany’s more modern freight and passenger locomotives, including the
BR 145, now available for Train Simulator.
The mainline BR 145 was derived from the prototype locomotive 128 001, built
by AEG and Henschel as an experimental high-performance electric locomotive as
a test bed for new technology. This prototype paved the way for an order of 80
BR 145 locomotives in 1997 by Deutsche Bahn AG, specifically for medium-weight
freight operations on the German rail network.
In 2000 a derivative locomotive, the BR 146, was developed specifically for
passenger services, adapted for higher speed running; however, over time the
BR 145 was also pressed in passenger service, albeit with a top speed of 140
km/h (87mph) but equally capable of hauling local Regio passenger trains.
The BR 145 for Train Simulator is available in Deutsche Bahn ‘Traffic Red’
livery as it can be seen hauling passenger services across Germany. The
locomotive is fitted with PZB, AFB and SIFA in-cab signalling and driver
safety devices, alongside Eurofima passenger coaches.
The locomotive is also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive
the DB BR 145 on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train Simulator, such as
those available through Steam. Also included are scenarios specifically for
the Hamburg-Hanover and The Rhine Railway: Mannheim – Karlsruhe routes
(available separately and required to play these scenarios).
