Duisberg to Dusseldorf

You're taking afternoon commuters from Duisberg Hbf to Frugenhafen (airport) and Dusseldorf Hbf, terminating your train at D-Volksgarten after a late change in scheduling. Journey time is approximately 30 minutes. Duisberg station is fairly busy at this time so don't be distracted by the coming and going of other trains.

At last testing, after more traffic was added, web•TrainSim got a red at Dusseldorf Hbf that wouldn't change; at least that gave him the chance to hear another ICE3 service arrive and leave. The problem of the red at Dusseldorf Hbf at this stage only means not completing the activity to D-Volksgarten and is not that important. Update 17-Jun-04: This problem has been solved and drivers are reminded not to race trains running on ajoining tracks.

The screenshots show the service before its path was changed.

This activity has been compiled into a zip file with Route Riter so you can see what files you need to install.

As well as using a 2 or 3 view at Duisberg Hbf, also do it at Im Schlenk (depending on your driving) when the ICE3 service roars past your ET423.
