Linha do Sul

Description

A simulation of the Linha do Sul (South Line), a major corridor of the Portuguese railway system,
connecting the capital to the south part of the country, which is used by a wide range of passenger
(long-distance and commuter) services, as well as freight traffic.
This simulation covers the entire Linha do Sul between Campolide (Lisboa), where it starts and
connects to the Linha de Cintura), and Tunes, where it ends and connects to the Linha do Algarve. It
includes the breathtaking crossing of the Rio Tejo (Tagus river) through the Ponte 25 de Abril.
This simulation also includes a small extension of the Linha do Alentejo and the Concordância do
Poceirão. These two act together as a bypass for the Linha do Sul between Pinhal Novo and Águas
de Moura, providing a faster and less congested alternative for trains connecting Lisboa to the south.
The simulation also includes the Variante de Alcácer, that acts as a bypass for the Linha do Sul in the
Alcácer do Sal area, providing a faster connection. The bypassed line is seldom used
