Stations and tracks
Build stations on your own track, and decide how each track is used.
How to
- Choose “🚉 Station/stop”, then tap the start and end points of the platform on your own track.
- Choose the number of tracks, then tap “Estimate” → “Create”.
- Tap the station → open “Tracks & platforms”.
- For each track, choose outbound, inbound or both, and choose main track or passing track.
Good to know
- Platforms are 20–400 m long (in 20 m steps). With 20 m cars, trains can stop there with as many cars as fit on the platform (8 cars for 160 m).
- By default, Track 1 is the outbound main track, Track 2 is the inbound main track, and Track 3 and up are passing tracks.
- Platform types are Side platforms, Island, Island + side and Terminal. A track without a platform is a through track.
- For each track, you can also set a preferred train type (such as Ltd. Express or Local).
- Trains can turn back only at stations with a scissors crossover (a station with only Track 1 doesn't need one).
- You can add one later: tap the station → “+ Add scissors crossover”. It costs 30% of the station's construction cost.
- A trainset waiting to turn back takes up 1 track.
- With “🅿 Build a siding” on the station screen, you can build a siding near the station. Trainsets that wait 8 minutes or more wait there.
- With “⛰ Station height”, you can make it an elevated station (1.5× the construction cost) or an underground station (2.5×).
- “🚉 Make a combined station” joins nearby stations (within 500 m) into 1 station.
