Explore the World’s first true mountain railway in Train Sim World 4! Semmeringbahn: Wiener Neustadt – Mürzzuschlag is coming 18th April!
Players on Steam will be able to pre-order from 1800 BST on Thursday 11th April with a 10% discount.

The ‘Taurus’ family of electric locomotives, also referred to as the ES 64 U2 and part of the wider ‘EuroSprinter’ group, is seen across much of Central Europe and operated by a variety of railway companies. Hauling both passenger and freight trains, they can be seen throughout Germany, Austria and Hungary as well as Poland and Italy.

Though from the outside, this new locomotive looks almost identical to variants run by Deutsche Bahn and featured in previous, German Train Sim World Add-ons, the ÖBB 1116 ‘Taurus’ is in fact very different operationally, which is highlighted by distinctive differences in the spacious cab.

The sleek exterior body is largely the same, aside from the branding of Austria’s national operator ÖBB, and some of the unique features that railfans admire in this type of locomotive are present, such as the ‘musical’ traction converters that rise through the ‘Do-Re-Me’ scale in a tone that resembles an alt-saxophone.
