Rails (tracks) support train traffic in and out of your stations. Trains will stop on the rails and wait for the player to dispatch them or unload their cargo. Rails is an Extension that can be purchased in the Shop, under the Extension and Themes tab.
Adding rails increases the efficiency of train dispatching. The more rails a station has, the more trains the player can load and unload at the same time. Buying a rail extension places that rail across *all* player stations.
The game begins with one normal rail. Players may purchase four additional normal rails, up to 5 maximum, for their Steam, Diesel, and Electric trains.
At level 120, with the purchase of the Maglev Era, players receive one free Maglev rail. Players may purchase 2 additional Maglev rails, up to 3 maximum.
At level 200, with the purchase of the Hyperloop Era, players receive one free Hyperloop rail. A 2nd Hyperloop rail is available at level 300.
Each rail extension purchased also includes a free Train Slot.
