Dear RailFans

Today is a very important day!

The long-awaited SimRail: Łódź–Warsaw route DLC DLC has just arrived at the final station.


Discover the charm of the new railway route from Łódź to Warsaw! The latest DLC takes you onto a realistically reproduced, highly detailed railway line starting at Łódź Widzew station, through Koluszki, Rogów, Skierniewice, and Żyrardów, all the way to Grodzisk Mazowiecki (and then on to Warsaw!).

Take the controls of the legendary EN57 electric multiple unit, this time sporting the Łódź provincial livery (EN57-919), and run regional passenger services across the picturesque landscapes of central Poland. Known among fans as the “kibel,” the EN57 is the longest-serving electric train on Polish tracks—a true legend that has been handling regional rail connections for decades!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3583200/SimRail__The_Railway_Simulator_d__Warsaw/

Each station along the route has its own distinct railway character. Your journey begins at Łódź Widzew, thoroughly modernized in recent years, now a vital interchange point for the city of Łódź and a technical base for the local carrier. Koluszki, primarily an interchange station, has been in operation for over 170 years! Traveling toward Warsaw, you’ll pass the home of Polish Nobel Prize winner Władysław Reymont, who once worked as a track operator on the Warsaw–Vienna Railway. In Skierniewice—another key junction—you’ll see the historic 1845 roundhouse, while Żyrardów station will greet you with a distinctive water tower visible from afar. Faithfully recreated stations and stops convey the atmosphere of one of the most important railway lines in Poland.

Feel the day-to-day commuting experience between the heart of Poland and the capital. New challenges await both in the expanded multiplayer mode and in single-player missions, where you’ll personally grapple with the unique pace of commuter traffic and the intense flow of passenger trains interspersed with demanding freight services.


Will you manage to get passengers to their destination on time during rush hour? Climb aboard the EN57-919 and find out for yourself in the newest expansion to SimRail – The Railway Simulator.
