I like the idea of the game, which could be really fun, but the terrible graphics ruin it. Not to mention the India level which ALWAYS ends with some train running a red light and causing a crash...

Pretty poorly done. I release a train and two seconds later a train comes on that track and hits it. Have to be a prophet, I guess.

its a great game, could be slighly easier, but im a master. i have trouble with the level with the bridge. its sorta too difficult.

i think this game is GREAT! i wish it was a little easier, and i wish you didn't have the submit something or other thingy if you fail... but other than that it's DEADLY!:D

I agree with mbsbike, this game just isn't good, Damn, if real railroads wer rely like this we'd be in a LOT of trouble!

Practically all the games on kongregate that purport to let you control a real process (air traffic control, running a restaurant, etc.) impose constraints that make them worthless as simulations. Basically they show you why we do things the way we actually do instead of the way the games portray them.

Trains move way too fast and break too fast. My grandfather was an Engineer, so I know this stuff. It takes about a mile for a train to stop. So fictional.. 3/5.

Whole screen is screwed up for me, can't scroll right, and the other half of the control panel is off the screen so I can't even start the game. 1/5

You know exactly where the next train is going to come out from because when you hover over the tracks, it will tell you the source of the train that's coming next, when it is coming, and its destination. That alone is enough to tell you where it is coming from and where it is going.

As other have said, you can't see where the next train is going to come from so you end up lurking in the station waiting to see before you let the train out. I ended up leaving all signal red and just creeping the trains through one at a time, which worked but wasn't very satisfying. Having trains going both directions on the main lines makes it very tough, which is why it doesnt happen much in the real world! I'd have preferred to be able to setup a system to channel my trains in each direction so they avoid each other, then just maintain it, rather than having to micromanage each individual train.

the first level trains go left right right left left left right right left left right right that is all i got about 6pm

Very nice. Good graphics and good idea... Def. need a bigger screen though... and perhaps make the arrows a little bit bigger... They are difficult to see.

Nice idea, nice graphics. I'd like to see a schedule or table as well, maybe for the next 3-5 trains with a time in seconds, from (direction + tracknumber), to and worth. Or the "warning train"-symbol as a non flashing version with the time till arrival. And maybe also level codes.
4/5 (when ignoring the schedule problem :))

Tough to play in such a small window. Would probably be a blast if I could play in one big window without constantly scrolling back and forth.

Good idea, but the graphics get in the way of the gameplay a little bit. The clickable items should stand out a bit more. 3/5 Terry S

I tend to agree with everyone else, you just dont know quite what is going on... a bit to small to see too....
would be fun full screen and moreinfofor train arrivals good luck with the follow up

Crap, hard to tell what the different switches do and what direction the arrow is pointing. I sent out my first train and while it was leaving another train appeared and hit it.

You can see the next arriving train in the lower right corner! But the times of arrival are pretty inaccurate and I couldn't avoid crashing when two trains came in from the same direction short after each other. So it would be better to see more than just one train.
But nevertheless it's a great game and - if you remove these frustrating moments - could become one of my favorites.

Fun game, but only 3/5 because there's no way you can see other trains coming while your train is leaving!
Put moving trains on map aswell.

Good concept. Although sometimes there was 'no' way I could prevent potential collision, because the train would take off, and all of a sudden another train would begin to come from the other way.. couldnt do anything about it. Otherwise good, 3/5

Good idea for a puzzle game, but a little boring. Took me a while to get the hang of it. Is there a train schedule anywhere, I just kept failing levels until i figured out the schedule on my own - it would be cool to have a button next to 'map' that showed the schedules and destinations of trains running that day and their arrival/departure times.
