The best train games on PC

What are the best train games on PC? There's something very appealing about the prospect of building and operating your own network of railroads, whether it's the logistics of mapping and routing tracks, or the desire to rub elbows with Vanderbilt and Stanford, some of the greatest railway tycoons in history. Running a railroad company is a stressful, but lucrative endeavor that can make or break even the best business minds - it's also a lot of fun.

When it comes to train games on the PC, prospective barons have no shortage of options. Railroad management is a decades-old genre with roots in the early 1980s, and its history is rich with classics and modern masterpieces.

Not every one of them is a big, sprawling, complex business management simulation, either. Sure, those exist for those of us who want to flex their tycoon-y muscles, but sometimes it's nice to just sit down with a toy box of trains and let your imagination run wild.

This list covers nine of the best train games available on PC. It runs the gamut from hyper-realistic sims to quick-play puzzlers, so every would-be railway engineer is sure to find something to suit their tastes.
