Trackline Express

Trackline Express is a train-building game about reaching stations while protecting your passengers from attacks and wildfires. You gather resources in a desert, craft supplies and use unlocked blueprints to build what your convoy needs to keep moving. Resources are scarce, and each run can call for different priorities.

Gather and build

Collect wood, rocks, ores and coal, then transform them into resources for buildings and equipment. Coins are rare, and you need them to unlock blueprints; once unlocked, a blueprint is freely available. You can build mines to produce coal, wells for the train’s water tank, and equipment to defend against threats. Feed the train with coal, add wagons and equipment, and try to automate tasks as the journey gets harder over time and distance.

Protect your convoy

Attacks are frequent, so you must fight to protect the train. A few items are available to help, and as more passengers arrive you need to use them more creatively. Wildfires also threaten the journey, alongside occasional barbarian attacks and missing sections of rail.

Game modes

The game includes a Daily Challenge, with a new randomly generated map available each day for you and your friends to take on. It also has mini quests to complete and a random deterministic map generator.

Multiplayer

You can play online or locally over LAN in the experimental multiplayer mode. Join forces with friends, plan your next steps and face the incoming threats together.
