SimRail: The Railway Simulator

SimRail: The Railway Simulator is a railway simulation game in which you drive trains or work as a dispatcher. It features realistic driving physics, environments based on geodetic data and about 500 km of detailed real routes.

Routes and trains

Choose present-day European high-speed, long-distance and suburban routes, or travel back to the 1980s to drive a steam train on the sand railway of Upper Silesia, Poland, a region described as the socialist land of coal and steel. Trains from different eras include popular steam, diesel and electric vehicles, whose physics are based on technology used in professional driver-training simulators. You drive safely to the final station and aim to arrive on time.

Dispatch trains

You can also enter a signal box and become a train dispatcher. Look after your station, prepare routes for trains and follow the rules and schedule. Signal boxes use equipment from different eras, and equipment can break.

Multiplayer

In the extensive multiplayer mode, you cooperate with players around the world as train drivers and dispatchers. Take over a selected train or signal box and work together with real-time weather and communication.

The living world

The game uses the Unity engine for its graphics. Grass and trees move with the wind, while dynamic weather brings puddles and snowdrifts. Animated passengers and scenario randomization add activity to the world.
