Routes

Some routes are included in MSTS. They are...

Hisatsu Route
The Hisatsu Route is a route that is bassed on Kyushu Island, Japan. Train Simulator includes the section of the line between Yatsushiro and Yoshimatsu. The section between Yatsushiro and Hitoyoshi is called the River Line because it runs beside the Kuma river. There are 24 railroad tunnels in this section of the line. The section between Hitoyoshi and Yoshimatsu is called the Mountain Line.

Trains climb the steep grade to the mountain pass (at 1772 feet (540 meters) above sea level) using two switchbacks and a loop. "Isaburo/Shinpei," the sightseeing train, runs on this section and stops at viewpoints for sightseeing-it has one of the three best rail views in Japan. Long station stops allow passengers to get off the train and explore the surrounding area before reboarding. In the line's heyday in the early 1900s, steam locomotives traversed the line, hauling freight and passengers.

Today, the Hisatsu line is used mainly for scenic day trips with trains consisting of one or two cars. Occasionally, historic steam locomotives are used for special excursions.

Innsbruck - St. Anton Line
The Venice Simple Orient Express is a route (A.K.A Innsbruck - St. Anton Line) that is based on the Austrian Alps. Train Simulator includes the portion of the route from St. Anton and the Arlberg Pass to Innsbruck. You'll travel past spectacular alpine peaks and visit beautiful Tyrolean villages in pastoral valleys. The producers re-created the line as it was in the late 1920s before it was electrified. Driving a steam locomotive is hard work, so remember to visit the piano bar car for a taste of luxury and relaxation.
