Open Rails: Open Source Train Simulation Game

Open Rails is an open source train simulation game and successor to Microsoft Train Simulator 2. It features realistic 3D graphics, dynamic environments, controls, and physics. Trains are operated using simulated physical controls.

What is Open Rails?

Open Rails is an open source train simulator and the successor to Microsoft Train Simulator 2. It features highly realistic 3D graphics, dynamic weather and environments, physics simulations for rolling stock, and simulated physical train controls for operating locomotives.

Players can drive authentic trains on modeled routes in many parts of the world, including North America, Europe, and Russia. The physics are based on actual train performance physics so the trains handle realistically. There is fully simulated in-cab controls like reverser handles, brake systems, switches, and gauges.

The dynamic environments change according to weather patterns and time of day or night. Players can operate consist with multiple locomotives and cars over challenging terrains and environments. There is multiplayer support and third-party assets are available to expand the experience.

Overall, Open Rails provides a very immersive and true-to-life train driving experience for train enthusiasts. The open source development allows the simulator to keep improving over time with new features and content.
