SimRail - The Railway Simulator News

Dear RailFans

Today we have a lot of interesting things for you!

The first one is establishing cooperation with Koleje Mazowieckie.
Thanks to official partnership, you will meet in the game your favorite Mazovian trains with a characteristic yellow sun.
Today we are adding a logo to the existing in-game EMU EN76, and in the future you can also expect EN57 units, including the oldest active KM vehicle with the number 038, i.e. the so-called "Grandma"!



On this occasion, we have a 20% discount for you to buy SimRail until next Sunday.

Another important news is the addition of a new, alternative route for freight trains: Łazy - Przemiarki - Kozioł - Dąbrowa Górnicza Wschodnia. You can meet there in multiplayer mode trains with numbers: 412050-412098, 442001-442049.



The third big change is a significant improvement in game performance, especially on computers with weaker processors.



Finally, we put at your disposal two new signal boxes - Juliusz in Sosnowiec (domino panel) and Szeligi (computer devices).

Enjoy!
