Cargo Line Vol.3 - Intermodal: Coming Soon
The Cargo Line series continues! Contain your excitement as you haul intermodal freight across UK routes in Cargo Line Volume 3, releasing 1st May!
The Story So Far:
Cargo Line Volume 3 continues Skyhook Games’ series of freight-themed gameplay packs that add different freight wagons to formations and more gameplay to selected Train Sim World routes.
Previous Cargo Line releases include:
- Cargo Line Volume 1: Petroleum (VTG TEA Tanker Wagon)
- Cargo Line Volume 2: Aggregates (HOA Bogie Hopper Wagon)
These both added gameplay to Midland Main Line and Great Western Express. Volume 2 also added services to Southeastern Highspeed and London Overground Suffragette line.
You can learn more about these over on the Skyhook Games website.
PlayStation players can get 30% off Cargo Line Vol.2 in the Spring Sale until 23rd April.

The Rolling Stock
FCA Intermodal Spine Wagon
New to the list of UK freight wagons available in Train Sim World is the FCA Intermodal Spine Wagon.
These were introduced to the UK in the year 2000. This fleet of approximately 400 wagons, arranged in coupled pairs, are capable of being laden with a variety of container-based loads and are found across the country. Ships bring containers in by sea, and export them abroad, but the journey between port and customer is done by rail. In Train Sim World 5, the FCA wagons feature dynamic container loads with containers of various sizes and colours.
Also new to Intermodal loads is the 20ft container, which is shorter in length and height than the 40ft version seen in previous releases.
The wagon consists of a main spine with multiple container locking points between two wheeled bogies. Conventional draw gear and buffers are located at one end, with a permanent connecting bar at the other for linking with a twin. These wagons feature dynamic container load so that no two trains are the same (in-game, some wagons in formations have been preselected not to be loaded).
The pack also comes with the DB Cargo variant of the Class 66, previously seen in other Train Sim World Add-ons.
