Train Simulator 2 lets you rebuild economies through the railways, out now on Android
  • Manage trains, deliver cargo, and rebuild struggling regional economies
  • Unlock and upgrade locomotives based on real-world designs
  • Explore diverse environments with dynamic weather and challenging routes

Railroads in disarray, factories standing idle, and a whole network on the verge of collapse. That’s the premise of Train Simulator 2, the latest 2D railway strategy sim from Azur Interactive Games Limited, where you’re tasked with hauling freight and rebuilding the economy one delivery at a time.

In Train Simulator 2, you’ll start modestly behind the controls of a simple diesel locomotive, running agricultural produce, building supplies, and industrial goods between stations. If you're looking for something else, here’s a list of the best simulators to play on Android right now!

As you prove yourself, you’ll earn the money to upgrade engines, attach stronger cars, and eventually unlock some of the heaviest locomotives of the 20th century. The more complex the order, the bigger the payout, and the closer you are to mastering the entire fleet.

The sim doesn’t just hand you straight tracks and easy hauls, though. You’ll be navigating deserts, swamps, mountain passes, and bustling cities, each with its own infrastructure issues waiting for you to solve. As you improve relations between stations, you’re not only completing jobs but also kickstarting regional economies and giving life back to dormant industries.

There’s also plenty of stuff to do on the management side of things. A deliberate upgrade path means every spare part and engine tweak matters, and with dynamic weather conditions constantly shaking up your runs, you’ll need to plan smartly to keep deliveries on time.  Add in a wide range of train compositions and a long list of challenges, and you’ll find yourself trying to build a legacy on the rails. 

So, if you’ve ever wanted to feel like both a locomotive engineer and an economic saviour, download Train Simulator now on Google Play by clicking on the link below. It is free-to-play with in-app purchases.
