About
Store description and overview from Steam.
Transport a constantly growing number of passengers to their destinations in this real-time railway strategy game.
Controls are simple: select a train and tell it which station to head for.
The challenge lies in your decisions.
Move too quickly and you risk collisions.
Wait too long and passenger stress begins to build.
Should you clear the congestion in front of you, or prepare for the next rush?
Should you let a freight train pass first to secure new equipment?
On some maps, unexpected stops can occur due to train breakdowns, wildlife, or disruptive passengers.
If your schedule runs with no margin, even a small disruption can throw the entire network into chaos.
Railway dispatching isn't about complex controls.
It's about judgment — when to move, when to wait, and whether to solve today's problem or protect tomorrow's rush.
How long can you keep the network running?
Simple Controls: Select a train and choose the station you want it to head to
Real-Time Dispatching: Balance caution and speed to keep the network running
