What it is and what you get:
DTGs-Addon The Rhine Railway: Mannheim - Karlsruhe includes a route section from Spoeck to Hagsfeld, wich is used in reality by light rail from the city of Karlsruhe. This original Route-Addon by DTG has no Quick Drive / Carrier Scenario for this section, only rudimentary scenary and so on. So I made a upgrade to that route section and implemented some extensions also, and of course: Quick Drives.

FEATURES & Route Sections:
- Original Section of S2-Line: Spoeck - Hagsfeld (reworked, upgraded, better look, and so on)
- 1st Extension: Hagsfeld to Durlach Turmberg and Durlach Bahnof
- 2nd. Extension (NEW): from Durlach to Wolfartsweier
- 3rd Extension: Neu-Edingen (between Mannheim and Heidelberg)
- new tracks for fictive line between Hagsfeld and Karlsruhe HBF via Ka-Rintheim
- aprox. 21km (= ~45min drive with all stops) length from Spoeck to Durlach
- included several Quick Drives


Included are QuickDrives to drive on following directions:
T1/T2 Schlachthausstr. <> Durlach Turmberg / Wolfartsweier Nord
S2 Spￃﾶck <> Karlsruhe / Durlach Bahnhof
S2/T1 Spöck <> Durlach Turmberg
S2/T2 Spöck <> Wolfartsweier Nord
S21 Karlsruhe HBF <> Graben-Neudorf Nord (via Durlach-Center and S2 sections)
S21X Karlsruhe HBF <> Graben-Neudorf Nord (via Durlach-Center and RB2 sections)
S22 Karlsruhe HBF <> Spￃﾶck (via Durlach-Center)
S3 Karlsruhe HBF <> Karlsruhe Durlach Bf.
RB2 Karlsruhe HBF <> Mannheim HBF (via Graben-Neudorf, Schwetzingen)
RB21 Mannheim HBF <> Friedrichstal (via SAP-Arena, Schwetzingen)
RB22 Mannheim HBF <> Schwetzingen (via SAP-Arena)
RB60 Mannheim HBF <> Neu-Edingen
RB61 Neu-Edingen <> Schwetzingen
IC Mannheim HBF <> Karlsruhe HBF (via SFS and through Hockenheim)
ICE Karlsruhe > Mannheim HBF (via SFS)


The Changes:
- new speed limitations (initially there was only 40km/h set)
- speed signs added
- changed ground textures in some areas (for example use of paving stones design)
- corrected track laying at some areas with "smoother than before" curves
- platforms set to higher level
- changed, added positions of buildings, plants, trees, fences, walls, hedges, streets
- new fictive line S21 from Karlsruhe HBF to Graben-Neudorf Nord (includes new track sections and 6 new stations)
- signals added (beta-status, not all added signals may work correctly)
- new arranged streets in Karlsruhe to fit more realistic conditions (area at Tullastr and DB-Line)
- changed lights at night in some areas to create a more realistic darkness
- S2 extended into Karlsruhe based on real existing track infrastructure of the tramways
- scenery around station "Neu-Edingen" extended, including the station itself (semi-fictiv)
- and some other changes

This route is based on the real route. Some parts are a little more fictive than other parts. On the extension parts some curves has a wider radius than real (at this time not other possible), distances may not accurate. But I think all-in-one the route captures a good feeling of the real one. I like it personally now a lot more than before.

Some problems:
- people walk through station platform or in front of train. (Ive tried to solve this. Its a little better that earlier, but still not solved completely. It might be a bug by TS19, because I have seen similar effects at other routes, but not before Update to TS19).
- some car-traffic may be insane, I wil try to fix it as good as possible at a future version.
- signals on the S2/S21 or other areas: if it shows red, click "TAB". Some signals may be only for optical reasons there.


IMPORTANT: WHAT YOU NEED TO DRIVE THIS ROUTE!
- DTGs The Rhine Railway: Mannheim to Karlsruhe
https://steamhost.cn/app/277768/Train_Simulator_The_Rhine_Railway_Mannheim__Karlsruhe_Route_AddOn/
[this route will be not overwritten if installing my route version]

Optional:
- Upgrade for "Mannheim - Karlsruhe" by Trainworks (includes DB-Tracks, edited Textures for Vegetation on the Ma-Ka Addon,...)
(http://trainworks.eu/forum/viewforum.php?f=168)

NOTE: without this, it can be possible that at some parts (where tracks on gras, street or stone) the underground are not placed correctly in high beneath the track. So if it looks at your computer not right try the Upgrade with the DB-Tracks. (pay attention to the readme of the upgrade anyway)

- Payware "U-Bahn Frankfurt II" by JustTrains (NOTE: only needed, if you want to drive with the U5-/U4-/U3- trains on this route. I personaly like to use this trains, because I think they fit well here. Other trains are not suitable to drive on some rout-parts. The stations are optimized for a maximum of a U5-25 train as 3x traction or a maximum of a U5-50 + U5-25 consist.
