SimRail - The Railway Simulator Prologue presents the full range of possibilities of the newest and best simulator of the work of train driver. Take on the challenge and take the controls of a freight or passenger train!
Developed by SimRail S.A. · Published by PlayWay S.A.









This railway simulation puts you in the driver's cab for two scenarios in Poland. One has you operating an EN96 passenger train between Dąbrowa Górnicza Ząbkowice and Będzin; the other puts you at the controls of an E186 locomotive hauling 20 coal wagons through Silesia.
Passenger service means stopping at each station and aiming to deliver passengers safely and on time. The freight run centers on moving a heavy train along industrial routes, where hills and the weight of the wagons affect the journey.
Learn the train controls with the tutorial, then manage speed, braking, and signals as you drive. One scenario offers day and night options, and the routes pass railway infrastructure, industrial sites, mines, and greener stretches.
Players who enjoy the prologue often highlight its deliberate, realistic-feeling train handling, detailed cab operations, and the satisfaction of learning the controls and completing a run. Reviews also appreciate the contrast between passenger and freight driving, along with the scenery and train sounds. Common reservations include the small two-scenario scope, controls that can feel awkward or hard to learn, and complaints about performance or visual details.
