Hello Dispatchers!
We announced last week that our Fourth Update, Rush Hour, would be arriving on the 28th of March. Now, we need your help.
28th March, 7 pm UTC
Live stream
To make our launch (perhaps our most important one since we entered Early Access) the best it can be, well be hosting a Steam livestream showcasing the update! More than that, this livestream will be part of the Steam SimFest - meaning the more viewers we get, the higher up Rail Route will be on the festival page!
This is where you come in.
If youre around, wed love for you to join Angel (thats me!) and MasterHellish for the livestream at 8 pm London Time on the 28th March. The more people we can get, the better! Well be exploring the new mode, cracking jokes, and generally chilling out.
Finally, a huge thank you to you - our community - for making this update (and all of our others) possible. We think youll love it, and were really proud of it.
And, as always, happy dispatching!
- Angel
Rail Route is a train dispatcher simulator. You negotiate contracts, build rail roads, set up routes for trains and control the traffic. Unlock features of your dispatcher interface, upgrade railway network elements and research new technologies that allow you to automate the operations!
Manual Routing
Manual Routing is basic mode to control the rail roads from the beginning of the game. You set up switches and signals one by one. Nothing but your skill and focus prevent collisions.
Automated Routing
Automated Routing helps when traffic becomes busy on a complex yard. You need a few clicks to set up all switches and signals en route. Collision avoidance included. Available later in the game when you unlock it and upgrade the signals.
Building
Build your own rail network to optimize the traffic. Be creative and fill every possible space you have.
Automation
Automation allows you to operate your railway network without your hands on. Your growing traffic does not lock you in the operations, freeing your hands for further expansion. You build the automation sensors and set up route to create when trains go by.
Level Editor
Level editor allows you to create a custom board with everything that comes with it. Create a schematic of your hometown rail roads, your imaginary rail network or even model the Tube rapid transit system using it! The rectangles you see moving can be modern or historic trains, the underground trains, trams, monorails, just whatever you imagine.
