Depart Koln Hbf.

This is a normal RE5 service of the Rhein Express from Koln to Oberhausen.

You're in charge of BR 146-01-1 in Metronom livery with eight double-decker carriages to cater for the extra crowds during the World Cup. In fact, this train could be carrying some very happy Australians on their way to Dusseldorf, the D-Flughafen terminal or Duisberg after beating Japan at Kaiserslautern in round 1.

The headlights on BR 146-01 aren't that good but you can get sightings of all signals so you're safe. You will have needed to install the latest locos from Graphics15 and, even though you can't see much traffic, you'll certainly hear the trains that are powered by any of Graphics15's BR 145 or BR 146 locos.

There will be an update to this activity after web•TrainSim adjusts timings for some of the traffic, particularly around Duisberg and Oberhausen.
