Train Sim World 5 - Pfälzische Ludwigsbahn Add-On | DB BR 406 ICE 3M | Bypassing the Limit
Pfälzische Ludwigsbahn: Mannheim – Kaiserslautern is the first German route Add-on to come to Train Sim World 5, covering an area to the south of Frankfurt with a host of familiar trains and rolling stock.
The traffic is diverse, with both S-Bahn and ICE services represented across a route that features a hub of activity at Mannheim and open countryside out east towards Kaiserslautern.
An historically important mainline, the Pfälzische Ludwigsbahn was built in sections throughout the mid-1800s. The line originally terminated on the western side of the Rhine at Ludswighafen but was quickly extended over the eastern bank to Mannheim, followed eventually by the movement of the former station to create a seamless through line.
The line has two distinct halves over 65kms; straight and level tracks rule the way between Mannheim and Neustadt, immediately after which, the tone of the line changes completely. A wall of forest punctuates the start of tight curves and close-up valleys, the rails gradually making their way further west to Kaiserslautern.
Mannheim Hauptbahnhof is the second largest traffic hub in southwestern Germany and hosts a variety of services from local S-Bahn to ICE. This reflects Mannheim’s status as the second-largest city in Baden-Württemberg. As trains depart Mannheim, they cross the state border between Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate.
At the other end of the line is the historic and cultural town of Kaiserslautern, near the Palatinate Forest. Along the way lie 14 intermediate Stations, including Neustadt and Frankenstein (Pfalz) station near to where the Schlossberg Tunnel passes under Frankenstein Castle.
Included in Pfälzische Ludwigsbahn are four trains / locomotives, the DB BR 425, BR 406 ICE 3M, BR 185 and BR 111.
