Train Sim World 4 – Nahverkehr Dresden – Riesa Guide (Tips, Tricks and Route Map)

Nahverkehr Dresden – Riesa

Overview

Welcome to Dresden! A fan favourite returns in, quite literally, a new light, as the former Train Sim World Rush Hour route, Nahverkehr Dresden – Riesa, plays host to the all new Vectron in Train Sim World 4!

For those unfamiliar with the route, Dresden – Riesa is a network in every right. Sprouting from the multi-level Dresden Hbf, the line quickly falls into dense S-Bahn territory, with multiple stations within the first few km alone. After the equally impressive Desden Neustadt, a sharp turn northwest takes trains further out into the suburbs, following which the line sprawls out into 3. The avoiding line, for express and freight traffic, takes its own, stationless path between Radebeul and Nünchritz, meanwhile the passenger line continues on its own way via multiple towns, and from that, an additional 2 lines branch off – the S-Bahn line to Meißen, and the regional line to Großenhain. The remainder of the passenger traffic converges at Nünchritz for the final run and sweeping curve into Riesa. In all, it’s a whopping 80+ km rail network packed with all sorts of traffic!
