There’s no better way to see a side of the country you’ve never seen than by riding a train. With the Rail Simulator download, you are at the controls of great trains from the present and historic trains from the past. Diesel, steam, and electric trains are at your disposal, each offering its own unique challenges.
Travel across famous railways in the U.S. and Europe, such as the Barstow to San Bernadino route in California, Newcastle to York in the UK, and Hagen to Siegen in Germany. Several different mission objectives are available to complete for each type of train and route. Running a steam train is no easy feat: failure to keep track of your coal usage can result in your train going up in smoke… literally.
Numerous expansion packs are available that add even more types of trains, rail lines, and scenarios, promising you a fresh game every time you play. A powerful suite of editing tools is included with Rail Simulator, so you can create your own rail line. You design the route; then add in cities, depots, and freight yards. Add your own scenery and rolling stock, and set up scenarios such as hauling freight or moving passengers. Your design is only limited by your imagination.
Who needs toy model trains when you can simulate the real thing and design your own rail system? All aboard! Steam down the tracks when you download Rail Simulator on your PC.
