Running Train

Running Train is a train-driving game set on two fictional Japanese railways: Coastal Hayamori Railway and Rural Kofuku Railway. You operate trains between stations and aim to get passengers to their destinations safely. The two routes have distinct operating patterns and characteristics.

Routes and operations

The two railway operators span 40 km of handcrafted routes. You can drive four train types, each with different characteristics, across more than 40 diagrams covering local and express services in the early morning, afternoon and at night. The game includes railway safety systems such as Vigilance and Automatic Train Stop, along with semi-realistic physics, arcade controls and train motion.

Driving options

Scoring mode includes optional challenges: you can turn on Hard Mode, disable the UI or hide the speedometer for extra score. In Free Mode, an AI driver can operate the train while you enjoy the scenery as a passenger or trainspotter. You can also select the weather and environment settings, and choose between Sakura Spring and Snowy Winter.

Customize and capture

An open livery editor lets you customize train liveries with open textures. Photo mode is also available.
