The stations on this line are also unusual given the fact that all the platforms are level boarding for the entire length of the platform, something rarely seen on the rest of the network. The designed maximum speed is 160 km/h, allowing city trains to reach their rated top speed of 140. This grants the line favourable qualities for high speed. Past Beenleigh the railway line was only built within the last few decades after the original alignment was torn up many decades ago. The sandy coastal landscape begins to permeate, with the aesthetic changing from the vibrant green and grass to dull sandy-clay ground with a subtle hint of green coming from the abundance of eucalyptus trees. The Gold Coast line is where the scenery really begins to change.
The track alternates between double and triple track along the way and past Salisbury is also shared with freight trains bound for the Brisbane port. The track is shared by both Beenleigh trains stopping all stations and Gold Coast trains which run express with only a couple stops. This line is low speed due to the old alignment it runs along. The Beenleigh line snakes it’s way through the southern suburbs. The line is only serviced by all stops trains but does have a connection to the Brisbane port for freight trains coming from the south. The rail line follows the Brisbane river through the suburbs until it reaches the ocean where it follows it through the Redlands Bay Area, even converging into single track at one section, until reaching the seaside suburb of Cleveland. Cleveland is situated on the eastern coast. Heading south the line splits to Cleveland or Beenleigh/Gold Coast As you move outwards from there, the scenery almost instantly shifts to the suburbs and dreary industrial areas.
In the central core between Bowen hills and Milton/South Brisbane, the scenery is mostly high density residential, commercial and offices. In reference to the scenery, it would really depend on the targeted area. Up until 20 minutes ago I completely forgot about this post and I’m glad a good discussion was created from my idea. My reply to both ARHS QLD and Queensland Rail wasn't nice! I will leave it at thatīut I do hear you, it would be great to have a Queensland route! I may give it a try in TS2019 but please don't keep your hopes up! I have failed on a lot of routes for MSTS so keep that in mind! I'm also not sure if TS2019 routes would work in TSW? Would be greatĬlick to expand.Hey, this is OP here on a new account.
I do have my own Queensland routes in MSTS but I have not completed them due to MSTS not being unable to work on my Windows 10 machine regardless of the specifications stated to get it working "The game specs is low" and all of these gaming components are now high specs if that makes sense "Microsoft" told me this only yesterday 4th July 2019 "AEST" and I have been unsuccessful in obtaining plan drawings and track diagrams as Queensland rail tells me "Due to their security concerns" it's the biggest load of rubbish, I said I wanted my routes set in 1960 to 1975 for my Cairns to Mareeba route and my Townsville to Cairns set in 1990 and my Blackwater route set before duplication and they weren't very helpful and I've also tried contacting ARHS QLD and they weren't helpful at all they gave the the same load of rubbish Queensland rail gave me by email "Over security" concerns
It would be terrific to have a Queensland route, I do have a QR route for Trainz but getting all the dependencies so the route could work is just impossible there's like over 20,000 files to download "Maybe I am thinking outside the box" could be over 40,000 files LOLįor year's I have been waiting for a Queensland route in MSTS, there was one route about to be released until Steam4me crashed along with the Railpage server and this route was never released! There was another Queensland Brisbane route in the works and the sad thing is that the author Russell Beer had lost all of his hard work due to a hard drive failure!
