Chinese Rail SIm

Chinese Rail SIm is a railway-building and management game set across a map of China. You build a passenger network by connecting cities, choosing routes and deciding where to invest next.

Build your network

Place stations, lay track and assign trains to routes. Run stopping services between cities or terminal-only express services for longer journeys. Interchange stations let passengers transfer between services to continue towards their destinations.

Manage passengers and costs

Set fares and monitor station queues and onboard capacity as the network grows. You can upgrade stations, tracks and trains, but expansion brings construction and maintenance costs. Search cities and your fleet, name trains, and consult passenger-demand views to plan where to expand.

Choose your challenge

In Challenge mode, meet weekly passenger goals to earn expansion funds. Sandbox gives you unlimited money, and if you miss a Challenge target, you can keep your railway and continue in Sandbox.

Plan and save

Pause the simulation or run it at 1x, 2x or 4x speed. While planning a train route, you can undo the last stop and add intermediate stations to eligible unused track. You can keep railways in five manual save slots, with a separate quicksave and autosave.
