Famed Alpine rails await you in Rivet Games’ classic Gotthardbahn route for
Train Simulator!
The
Gotthardbahn, the second highest standard railway in Switzerland, was
constructed from 1872-1882, penetrating the Alps by means of the Gotthard Tunnel
at 1,151 metres (3,776 ft) above sea level. At the time, the 15km Gotthard rail
tunnel was the world’s longest.
Rivet
Games have meticulously modelled 110km of the Gotthard route from Erstfeld, on
the North side of the Alps, at an altitude of 472 metres (1,549 ft), South to
Bellinzona near the Italian border at an altitude of 241 metres (791 ft) set
before the newer Gotthard Base Tunnel was completed. Because of the extreme
differences in altitude long ramped approaches are used on each side, together
with multiple spirals tunnelled under the mountains.
Operations on the Gotthardbahn are challenging and diverse, ranging from local
to inter-city passenger services, and key freight duties that keep industries
alive. Many are headed by SBB’s fleet of sleek Re 460 locomotives, cab car
variants of their EWIV coaches also take charge with a 460 pushing from behind.
With
vast changes in altitude offering unique views around every bend, the classic
pass that is the Gotthardbahn is world renowned, and you can explore it in all
its scenic glamour in Train Simulator!
