Take the role of a train driver on three routes: the Bakerloo Line in London, the Köln–Aachen high-speed line in Germany, and Sand Patch Grade in the US. Operate a range of passenger and freight locomotives, each with its own cab controls.
Start and operate trains, follow signals and speed limits, stop at stations, and complete scheduled services, scenarios, and freight tasks. Journeys combine these activities into longer route-based progress, while tutorials introduce each locomotive's controls.
Manage power and braking as weather and steep gradients affect wheel grip, using cab instruments and HUD displays for driving information. Create custom liveries and scenarios with the in-game tools, then share or browse creations through the Creators Club.
Players who enjoy the game often praise the realistic train operation and the sense of driving from the cab, with several also describing the journeys as relaxing. Graphics, train detail, and scenic routes are appreciated too. Some reviews, however, complain about bugs, performance, controls, and the cost or release model for routes and editions.
