Description
Part of the Queensland Rail network in Brisbane, Australia from Roma Street to Bowen Hills.
I have tried to make it as realistic as possible using publicly available information. Some things like speed limits and entry/exit locations are estimated.
Included is a timetable for 55 trains between 17:00-18:00 on Thursday 27th August 2020, with real headcodes.
Some trains start at Roma Street/Bowen Hills as I don’t know where they enter from and aren’t continuing from terminated trains.
Operating Notes:
Designed for left-hand traffic, with two lines, main and suburban
The main line is mainly for express and longer distance trains, suburban line is for more local services
The exhibition loop is not used during the timetable
Roma Street platform 10 is for long distance trains travelling to other cities in Queensland and is not used
Roma Street platforms 2 and 3 are rarely used, with no trains in the timetable using them
DR52 (Doomben to Brisbane City, arriving at Roma Street at 17:55) must arrive at platform 6 as it will need to change direction to become DB53 going back to Doomben

I lived in Brisbane for 18 years and used the train heaps, this is a great simulation of the central region.
