description Route Description
The Maintalbahn route brings modern diesel operations to life across 37 kilometers of scenic Bavarian countryside, running parallel to the meandering Main River between Aschaffenburg Hauptbahnhof and Miltenberg. It features an authentic single-track layout equipped with passing loops, local halts, and an additional 4-kilometer dedicated freight branch serving the bustling Aschaffenburg river port.
Players take charge of regional passenger services operated by the sleek DB BR 642 'Desiro' DMU, as well as local shunting and freight duties behind the dependable DB BR 363 diesel locomotive. The line captures a distinctly relaxed yet precise branch line atmosphere, demanding careful timetable management and adherence to H/V and Ks signalling systems without overhead electrification.
From winding through charming riverside towns and vineyards to managing industrial shunting and refuelling procedures, the Maintalbahn offers a quintessential non-electrified German regional railway experience.
