Along the way lie historic towns peppered with ancient buildings and glorious castles set against the steep rock faces either side of the Rhine. 24 castles in total can be seen along the route, separated by plentiful tunnels and stations. The route is bookended by the stations at Mainz Hbf and Koblenz Hbf, recreated to reflect their appearance during the late 1990s.
There are also some fun collectibles to hunt down along the way, including Cuckoo Clocks!
Locomotives and rolling stock
The BR 103 is legend of the German railway network, being both the first high-speed locomotive developed in Germany and one of the most powerful electric locomotives in the world! Today, those that remain operable are spotted keenly by railfans and the late 1990s marked a time when these magnificent machines were starting to give way to more contemporary locomotives and taking on lesser duties.
Players are able to make use of the BR 103 in Deutsche Bundesbahn 'Trans Europ Express' livery, hauling intercity coaches, with a ‘boost’ available to increase the power... to be used with caution!
Joining the BR 103 is the BR 110.3 from Bremen – Oldenburg but looking different for its inclusion in Linke Rheinstrecke: Mainz – Koblenz with a Deutsche Bahn Orient Red livery. The n-Wagen coaching stock also returns but this time in mint and white colours which will also make an appearance on Niddertalbahn’s BR 628.2.
