From sleek, tilting marvels to the grunt of mighty, modern diesels—The Rails are Yours in Train Sim World 5!
London
Be swept off your feet with the commuter mayhem of the West Coast Main Line. From the detailed cab of the Northwestern Class 350, operate semi-fast and commuter services between Euston and Milton Keynes.
- Deluxe Edition – Lean into even more action on the WCML with the sleek and famous Avanti West Coast Class 390 Pendolino, tilting around bends in speedy fashion!
Frankfurt
Variety abounds on the twisting Kinzigtalbahn. Bank around the scenic Kinzig Valley aboard the tilting DB BR 411 ICE-T, shuttle along the line in the regional BR 114 + Dostos, and haul freight with the mighty DB Vectron. It’s all systems go between Frankfurt and Fulda.
- Deluxe Edition – Experience additional passenger flavor on the Kinzigtalbahn with FlixTrain traction! Vectron and Talbot coaches wear bright green for iconic cross-country rail travel.
Los Angeles
The Sun-soaked tracks of the San Bernardino Line play host to Metrolink movements. With both the powerful F125 and sleek MP36, hustle between highways and dash from town to town on the daily suburban commute. Connect the sprawling Greater LA metropolis and run to the foothills of the Cajon peaks.
- Deluxe Edition – Hop to the hills of BNSF territory with CAJON PASS. Master mountain pass railroading over the peak to Barstow and operate local freight on the San Bernardino Line.
Conductor Mode
A new way to play! Conductor Mode puts you into the role of a guard/conductor on any service – check tickets, operate the doors and ensure passenger safety. Take a break between driving and master a different discipline.
