Train Sim World 6: Cargo Line Vol. 3 - Intermodal

Train Sim World 6: Cargo Line Vol. 3 – Intermodal is a downloadable content (DLC) expansion developed by Skyhook Games and published by Dovetail Games. Released on August 26, 2025, this DLC introduces players to the world of intermodal freight transport within the UK rail network. The expansion features the FCA Intermodal Spine Wagon, a modern container flatcar, along with 20ft and 40ft containers that can be dynamically loaded onto the wagons. Players can operate these freight services using the familiar DB Cargo-branded BR Class 66 diesel-electric locomotive, which has been a staple in previous Cargo Line volumes.

The DLC offers a variety of gameplay options across two major UK rail routes: the West Coast Main Line (WCML) from London Euston to Milton Keynes and the East Coast Main Line (ECML) from Peterborough to Doncaster. Players can engage in 33 services and three bespoke scenarios, all featuring the new FCA Intermodal Spine Wagons. These services replace the standard intermodal freight services on these routes, providing a fresh perspective on UK freight operations. Additionally, the expansion supports Train Sim World’s Scenario Planner and Livery Designer tools, allowing players to create custom scenarios and liveries, enhancing replayability and personalization.

Promotion for the DLC was carried out through various channels, including announcements on Dovetail Games' official forums and social media platforms. The community was engaged through preview streams and discussions, generating anticipation among train simulation enthusiasts. The DLC was made available on multiple platforms, including Steam, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One, broadening its accessibility to a wider audience. The inclusion of Skyhook Games' work in the Train Sim World series was highlighted as a significant addition, appealing to players interested in detailed and realistic UK rail operations.

Upon release, the DLC received positive feedback from the Train Sim World community. Players praised the detailed modeling of the FCA Intermodal Spine Wagon and the dynamic container loading system, noting the accuracy and realism of the freight operations. The inclusion of multiple service patterns and the integration of the FCA wagons into existing routes added variety and depth to the gameplay. The DLC's reception has been favorable, with many considering it a valuable addition to the Train Sim World 6 experience, offering a unique perspective on modern UK freight operations and enhancing the overall simulation.
