Train Ride Overview

Accessing the Train Ride mini-game

During the game, you have the opportunity to collect Gold Resource Gold (for passenger Resource Passenger and mail Resource Mail trains) or resources (for cargo trains). You can also collect experience points Train Ride XP.

Every 85 Train Ride XP you collect gives you a whistle Whistle that you can use to bring an Express Train to your station. (Lowered from 100 Train Ride XP as part of the 9 Jun 2011 Game Update.

You also complete the Train Spotter series of achievements here.

Resources and experience will periodically pop-up during the minigame. You don't have to keep the train focused on the screen, they'll pop up related to your view, though they'll stay related to the train after "spawning".

The resources will pop-up on sets of two Resource Gold/Misc Material pick-ups (worth 10 Resource Gold or 3 Misc Material each) and one Train Ride XP pick-up. The Train Ride XP pick-up will rise by 1 with every consecutive Train Ride XP collected, up to a maximum of 9 (indicated by Train Ride XP pre) followed by a final pickup Train Ride XP final worth 5 experience, totalling 10 pick-up sets. Possessing the Royal Tower will duplicate your experience, material and gold collected during the train ride. Now you can get a maximum of 13/14 and a final pickup of 9 xps.

These are the maximum amounts you can pick up during a train ride:
type amount amount with Royal Tower
Resource Passenger/Resource Mail 10 x 2 x 10 = 200 Resource Gold 400 Resource Gold
Train Ride XP 50 Train Ride XP 100 Train Ride XP
Misc Material 10 x 2 x 3 = 60 materials 120 Misc Material

You can't click on the "Train Ride" button during the last 10 seconds before arriving at Loading Docks, Town or your own station.

When you are at a Train Ride, and your train is arriving in 2 seconds, the screen will automaticly switch to the place where your train is arriving.
