The Schnellfahrstrecke Kassel-Würzburg is a comprehensive German high-speed route that functions as a popular add-on (DLC) across multiple versions of the Train Sim World series, including Train Sim World 3, Train Sim World 4, Train Sim World 5, and the upcoming Train Sim World 6. This 186 km (116-mile) recreation of Germany’s first dedicated high-speed line allows players to reach speeds of up to 280 km/h (approx. 174 mph).
Key Content and Features
The add-on captures the operational challenge and dramatic scenery of the line, which is famous for its intensive engineering, including over 50 tunnels and numerous large viaducts cutting through forested valleys.
- Included Locomotives: Players can operate the iconic DB BR 401 ICE 1 and the modern DB BR 403 ICE 3 for high-speed passenger operations. For freight duties, the DB BR 185.2 locomotive is also included.
- Gameplay: The route features a realistic 24-hour timetable, allowing for diverse services that include high-speed testing, regular passenger runs through key hubs like Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe station, and overnight freight haulage.
