A great way to learn and understand the new rail system along with a new story mission that will make the overall narrative of the game even more exciting!

Now with that out of the way, we can now focus on the new Rails! The update added a lot of railway-related stuff. First of all, are the basic rail posts.

They come in standard and tall variants. The basic items you need to create your railway network. Speaking of networks, what’s a railway network without any engines on it?

Rail Junctions are there as well if you want a more complex railway. This baby can split a rail line into two, and offer 3-way connections.

There is also the Railway Station which can be a great tool in automating loading resources and other things into your cars!
