Take the engineer’s seat in a first-person train simulator, operating passenger and freight services across routes based on railway lines in Britain, Germany, and the United States.
Control each locomotive from its cab: manage power and braking, watch signals and speed limits, and handle tasks such as refuelling and yard work while keeping services on schedule.
Journeys connect tutorials, scenarios, and timetable services on each route, while a progress tracker records railway jobs and Action Points reward accurate driving.
Players who enjoy the game often value the feeling of operating a real train, citing its realistic controls and procedures. Some describe the steady journeys as relaxing, and others appreciate the range of routes and trains. Reviews also report crashes, bugs, or performance problems, and some criticize the cost of additional content.
