About Stations and Siding Tracks

We hope your New Year Is off to a great start! And what an exciting year lies ahead of us for all SubwaySim fans... ;-)

For our first post of 2025, we’re taking a closer look at two stations in Berlin: Breitenbachplatz and Uhlandstraße. Both stations resemble the uniqueness and charm of the Berlin U-Bahn system and are likely familiar spots to many of you.

Breitenbachplatz, located on the U3 line, is a true classic among Berlin U-Bahn stations. With its impressive architecture and historic charm, we’ve gone to great lengths to recreate this station as authentically as possible.



What makes Breitenbachplatz interesting from a railway operations perspective, are the adjacent siding tracks, which play a vital role in short-run services and overnight train storage. The station features four turning tracks in total – two towards Krumme Lanke and another two towards Wittenbergplatz. Of course, all of them are fully functional in the game.

Next, we move to Uhlandstraße, the western terminus of the U1. This station has its own unique character. Though relatively small, its prime location in the heart of Charlottenburg, directly beneath the famous Kurfürstendamm, gives it special significance.



As a terminus, its siding tracks are always in use, with several trains stored here overnight. Thanks to four tracks in total, there’s plenty of space for operations. You can experience all of this up close in SubwaySim 2.



[h2]A Behind-the-Scenes Look[/h2]

Recreating the many stations in SubwaySim 2 as authentically as possible has been one of the biggest challenges during development. Many stations are visually unique and located on curves. Our goal has been to faithfully represent not just the architecture but also the operational workflows. As such, we’ve placed particular emphasis on accurately recreating the siding tracks.
