Once again we are launching a custom contest for Rail Route. This time around the focus is on passengers and satisfying their demands (check out the Happy Passenger DLC if you haven't already!).
The Challenge: Efficient passenger satisfaction!
Starting today and running until Wednedsay the 10th of July, we invite you to join the "Edinburgh Passenger Pursuit" contest. Your mission is to satisfy the most demands with the least amount of contracts possible. It's indeed a challenge for all of you that enjoy solving puzzles and optimizing for passenger demands.
How to Join the Contest
Dispatch trains, keep up with passenger demands and the goal: Satisfy the most demands with the least amount of contracts possible
Once you've completed the challenge, take a screenshot and head over to the #contest channel in our Discord and drop your results.
Bragging rights are definitely on the line!

Love to compete with other Rail Routers?
Every Friday there is a new weekly rush hour contest where you can climb the in-game leaderboard to see if you can make it to the top! The contest is announced in our Discord-channel #contest and the channel is also a place to show of your skills and strategies with fellow rail fans.
Stay on track and happy dispatching!
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.
