🚂 New Liveries and Unique Gameplay
This pack transforms the high-altitude Arosalinie from a purely passenger route into a mixed-traffic challenge, utilizing the route’s rail-served aggregate terminal:
- Locomotive Liveries: The existing Ge 4/4 II is supplied in two new promotional schemes:
- No. 629 “Neubau Albulatunnel” (New Albula Tunnel construction).
- No. 622 “Hakone Tozan Railway” (Celebrating the RhB’s Japanese partner).
- Core Gameplay Loop: Players must carefully haul the stone-laden Fac wagons up the steep gradients to the terminal outside Arosa, perform precise shunting for unloading, and then manage the “nail-biting downhill run” with empty wagons back to Chur.
- Interactive Mail Services: The pack introduces a unique layer of interaction where players use the Gepäckwagen (Baggage Car) to:
- Physically pick up a mailbag at Chur.
- Deliver mail to post boxes at each station along the route.
🎮 Scenarios and Challenge
The pack features an additional timetable and 5 new scenarios for the Arosalinie, including:
| Scenario Title | Primary Objective |
| Arosa Northbound | Mixed-traffic run hauling aggregates uphill. |
| Arosa Southbound | Managing the downhill run with empty aggregate wagons. |
| Timber Log Delivery | Utilizing the existing SP-W timber wagon for freight. |
| Unloaded Wagon Wonderland | Shunting and marshalling duties at the terminal. |
| Tourist Excursion | A passenger-focused service. |
Steep Challenge: The route gains $1 \text{ km}$ (over 3,280 ft) in altitude from Chur to Arosa. Hauling heavy stone up these severe gradients requires expert use of the Ge 4/4 II’s power and careful braking control on the descent.
