Train Sim World 2

Train Sim World 2 is a train simulation game where you drive high-speed passenger services, long freight trains and commuter traffic on famous rail routes. You operate locomotives from the cab, follow instructions and manage speed, braking and power as conditions change.

Routes and trains

Three routes offer distinct challenges. On the Bakerloo Line, you run the London Underground’s 1972 Mark 2 Stock through the demands of modern-day rush hour. On the Schnellfahrstrecke Köln-Aachen, you drive the DB BR 406 ICE 3M between Köln and Aachen at speeds of up to 250 km/h, as well as the DB BR 442 ‘Talent 2’. On Sand Patch Grade, the CSX AC4400CW, GP38-2 and SD40-2 haul freight across the Allegheny Mountains, including through Cumberland Terminal.

Driving and simulation

The SimuGraph vehicle dynamics engine adds adhesion physics, so wheelslip and wheelslide affect your driving in adverse weather. You also need to manage locomotive power and control heavy freight on steep inclines. Updated visual features include dynamic skies, multiple cloud layers and sunlight filtering through the clouds.

New HUD displays clarify instructions, gradient and speed profiles, onboard safety systems, brake controls, the power meter and the accelerometer. A revised controller scheme offers Camera and Driving modes, and lets you move from an external camera into another vehicle in your consist while the simulation continues running. Tutorials for each locomotive cover its switches, levers and dials.

Journeys and customisation

You can begin a Journey on any route, with more than 24 hours of gameplay across scenarios, services and other activities. The Creators Club provides tools to design custom liveries and scenarios, upload and share them with players around the world, and browse and download other players’ creations.
