About this app

Control trains: operate & drive trains through different landscapes, earning coins to spend on Driver Training runs where you qualify to upgrade your license to drive later, faster, locomotives.

Start with Britain’s 1928 steam train Morayshire, then upgrade to diesels e.g. U.S.’s Santa Fe, Britain’s Freightliner + Class 460 (Gatwick Express), & Australia’s S class (Southern Aurora). Peak with Japan’s Bullet Train! Then there’s 2 mystery locos to unlock.

You can play offline – no WiFi / no internet required – you will just miss out on Rewarded Videos offers.

GAME OVERVIEW
- Play Long Haul first, collecting Frees & earning Coins from pickups & reaching stations. Your locomotive can only travel a max of 10 stations due to the track changing size (gauge). To advance into the next 10-station map, play Time Challenge to upgrade your locomotive to a newer/faster one.
- Time Challenge: Replay each of the 8 tracks as fast as you can (swipe up+down to change your speed) to keep beating your best times. You need to lower the Total Time of all 8 tracks to upgrade your locomotive.
