Top 20 Roblox Train Simulators 

There is one thing that makes Rails Unlimited stand out from the rest: derailments. This game has a heavier focus on derailing your train, with dedicated sounds and effects and your train not glitching through the floor when falling over (except for old yard). Although it is very difficult to derail your train because you have to either go through a very tight curve at a very high speed or switch a junction while your train is on it.

Hey, thanks for playing RU! We definitely do need to focus a lot on the points you've noted. We're working on more replayability and other general improvements.

Thanks for playing Rail Sim Universe! We have made a TON of new updates and changes since this was filmed, and have a very rapid update schedule. We would love to see your thoughts on the latest changes we have made. I would also like to address the 500 robux price, it's intended to be a limited time novelty purchase to help us fund development. Players receive several special trains (for free) with every route expansion we add in the future. The game will be 100% free to play when we complete it.

Snow hills lines... I remember that people called it "The NEW SCR" cause it was realistic at the time and has custom train option, but is now forgotten cause of the physics and the just lack of updates :/

I remember playing that Hyperloop game tons years ago... Bit of a throwback seeing that

Omg thanks for putting BR in first place, it deserves it compared to SCR about a lot of things like physics, consistency of electric trains (with pantographes) and diesel trains and even the AI passengers features imo

The reason I like Stepford and British Railway is because trains can not drive through each other. There’s a whole system that prevents trains from crashing into each other and users ending up on the same tracks driving through each other, and I hope other games adopt this system.

As a DJMM member, I can explain why the game is so broken. Since Roblox started to update their software, DJMM also tried to keep up. Unfortunately, they mostly put effort into new features instead of fixing the game to the new Roblox software which resulted in your part loss for example, or tracks could be missing which can make you derail and so I could go on and on. People where also mad at the management for promising things like the Metropolitan and Northern line, but they only added half-made lines which where only accessible with gamepass trains. And they where also mad at them for the state of the game, which resulted in the owner of the game robbing the group of its funds and flee. The game is now transforming into a brand new community, called All Change community. We are hoping that this time the direction won’t disappoint us.

Don't forget Trainways! Expansive, map, train interiors and plenty of lore.

I approve this list, but I personally miss ro-scale sandbox, where you can build your own railway, not play on a prebuilt map, and sure, it doesn't really fall into the train sim category, but in my opinion, it would deserve a honorable mention.

As someone who also plays train games beside flight sims on roblox, im very excited for this video

The reason for Snow Hill Line's lack of updates is that it was discontinued years ago and now is unsupported entirely. The studio behind it however, Centro, are working on a very impressive looking tube game simulating the Victoria Line. It's probably the most innovative in years on the basis of UI, sounds, models, etc etc, so I do suggest you give it a try when it releases hopefully sometime in the remaining portion of the year.

Thank you for playing RSU! Since your last visit, we have done many updates and plan to have more out soon. We hope you can come back and make another video on RSU! Sincerely, Matt Support Representative/Game Tester

RAIL SIM UNIVERSE IS WAY BETTER NOW

Great video! Thanks for using clip of Western Railway! (Steam & Steel)

I'm so glad streamlined was mentioned! Such a great video ty

Glad to see Streamlined in second place! We'll see what we can do with your suggested improvements :)

Awesome video! I'm currently a dev for Rail Sim Universe, The price tag will be eliminated upon final release, and we have much more features on the way!

14:00 A proper tutorial rework has been in the works for a while. the current tutorial was kind of just... jammed in when I very unexpectedly had some youtubers play the game and needed to throw something together in about a day. Definitely glad to see you've been enjoying the game so much! Cheers! -GregTame

Rail Sim Universe has changed very much since patron took those clips. I'm not sure how many trains there are but it's definitely more then 3 or 5. However you still made a great video!

Just found out about the video. Thanks for playing Terminal Railways! I agree with the points you said and we are currently working on improving them. We are also releasing freight with jobs and contracts soon so that should make the game a bit more interesting + many optimizations and map upgrades :)

PTFS got some crazy training updates

nice video! as someone who's a fan of railway games but sadly hasn't been able to find many outside the mainstream ones this is much appreciated!

Please consider trying out the Northeast Corridor Train Simulator! It contains the full route between NYC and Philadelphia and has more advanced current systems but similar to the MBTA game.

Finally a good best train video

You should try playing RSU again, they have added approximately 5 new stations and multiple more locomotives and trains since you last played, that I think you would enjoy.

Very good video but i do believe that other games such as OIR, Northeast Corridor and Trainways should have been on this list, however at the end of the day finding room for everything is not simple so i understand why you may have missed some

The roscale games are modeled off of real train lines in America and is basically a small recreation. You can go on google maps and compare.

Rail Sim Universe has a crap ton of new updates since this was filmed

My suggestion Northeast Corridor train simulator, it’s basically MBTA but it has tons of more content and much more built out.

wow, RSU changed so much in these 3 months. Cant believe this is what it used to look like, its so different now lol

As of today rail sim universe as progressed a lot more stations and trains have been added. It has a lot of potential.

Stream lined also gets constant updates like new/updated model, events with limited timed engines and wagons, and while it currently is in Alpha, and will probably stay there for a while, once it's in Beta, it'll be free with private servers also free

Hello there, i'm Jhota, a Trained Driver Instructor at WCR. We thank you for your feedback, and that you still enjoyed the game. Hope to see you again soon ingame, or in a training!

Thank you for this, it was really helpful.

Rails of DG County admin here, the game has been remade completely featuring a new map, locomotives, towns and a bunch of other stuff

Trainways is a very underrated sim set in Sydney. it is by far my favorite but is missing a signaling system. i would definitely give it a try!

that's a funny looking plane simulator

Really interesting video with lots of good points made - I developed the games in the Trains series (the latest, Express, released two months ago) and would love to hear any feedback you’ve got!

Thanks for playing Train Sim, i'm Contributor for this game :)

RSU has more than 3 trains, decent replayablility, same map, but fun

Brotish Railway also offers interactable cab controls for a more emersive experience too!

6:00, the flowers and other foliage are clipping thru the tracks because they haven't been handled very well, which is realistic for Eastern Europe. I live in eastern europe and it's very common

Ro scale sandbox is a lot better than itty bitty railway and doesn't suffer from major gameplay mechanics behind gamepasses.. and its free :D Anyone who is interested in building your own railway should definitely try it out.

The train crash at 0:52 in the back is crazy

this is a very nice video! now that you've done plane and train, can you do busses next?

SCR is very good, but you can't stay in schedule if driving somewhat normally. Also you need too much grind to progress in routes/trains imo

Hello Patron! I was the ATC from aeronautica!

The new Rails of D.G County is a whole lot better than the old one. Better map for navigation, amazing UI, and it’s a lot more immersive since you have to manually fill your locomotives with water as well as filling gondolas with coal

5:00 it is based off the NNSF Metra racetrack between Chicago and Aurora

I used to be a dev for Romney, nice to see it mentioned here

Thank you, as a mobile player this is super helpful 👍.

For people who don't know about rail sim universe: its a game based in South Florida (west palm beach to Miami) and the commuter train tri-rail its getting updated over the months and seemed to release probably in 2025 what I saw and its worth the robux

I didnt think streamlined and itty bitty railway would rank so high! But yea this list is very relatable

I edge to this

I've personally played a lot of these, but I personally recommend taleland railway. Extremely detailed, and a lot of engines to choose, standard and narrow.

I am disappointed that Trainways didn't get a mention (basically because I am Australian) but this was a very enjoyable video to watch.

Thanks for checking out D.G. County!

Hey there! Well Train Sim (czech and Slovak game P13) doesnt feature four models. It is way more, but at the start you have four FREE trains, the rest needs to be bought by in-game credits or robux. Just for info :)

I almost Play RSU everyday, it’s the best

My favourite train simulator is Finnish railway. It's, as the title suggests, a Finnish train simulator. There is a mediocre variety of trains and LOTS of carriages. It's about as realistic as Train Sim where if you power up certain trains too quickly, they stall out and do not move.

RSU will be free by 2024 it is still inder development.

According to this list, good video. In Spain we have the C5 Cercanias Madrid, L8 of FGC and L2 of the Barcelona metro. The rest of the simulators still need to polish many things.

Bit disappointed i didn't see finish rails but thanks for making this new video that I happily edged to.

I didn’t expect for you to play or featured a Thomas game in this video, I thought Steam Age/Era was going to take the 18th spot. But anyways, This “Top 20 Roblox Train Simulators” video is pretty good, your opinion of the train sims in this top 20 is kinda similar to mine actually. Btw if you want a free Roblox Thomas game, I would highly recommend Blue Train With Friends or Sodor Online Jobs A Plenty (although as for today, December 3rd, 2023, the “Jobs A Plenty” part is replaced with “Snow Time To Lose”)

"Top 20 roblox train simulators" Dovedale railway: Am i a joke to you?

The style of the PTA System map mirrors the one the New York MTA uses. They in fact do not use a diagram-style map and settle on a geographically realistic map.

Dude whos that hot fv107 guy at the end holy moly

interesting how DJMN in it's current state made it onto this list. aside from all the stuff related the group itself, the game now has been highly neglected since most of the former developers (understandably) archived all of their meshes that have been used (this includes the train exterior, as well as ticket barriers and some other misc like decals) (one more thing is how badly they were replaced, like the mesh ticket barriers that have been replaced with a wide 2d decal) update wise: -there was meant to be a whole new revamped map which had better stations, tracks, trains etc -they tried to merge it with the current map, which was a bad choice considering the current map had 0 quality control (it was made by 50 different developers so scenery, quality and detail became heavily inconsistent) -it was never finished and i havent even mentioned the DLR, metropolitan and northern lines all of which were only partially finished and never released i was a dev there during the 2021-2022 period which i'd say was when the game peaked before all of the stuff happened

Are you an IGN presenter, cause this is what you sound like lol. A really good video

Mind The Gap is one of my personal favorites, and it feels like its been here for years. Give it a try!

Nice video, LIKE

RSU has changed quite a lot since😂

Snow Hill Lines' standalone feature is that it's set in Birmingham with all the same scenery as the real world

no way terminal railways has a train made out of a 737-800 fuselage

I think that Northeast Corridor train sim should have had a spot

These are my favorites SRI. DG county. Logging through the great depression. Strasburg last golden Spike. Somewhere in Wales. Also, in your review DG county is the older version There’s a newer version.

4:41 fun fact the game is based off a real life train line in Chicago Illinois

Given the Ro-Scale usage, Im super surprised that Northeast Corridor Line isn't on here which gives a very accurate, Semi straight line scale of the NJ Transit and Septa section of the Northeast Corridor.

Exist too the "Northeast Corridor Train Sim" its so realistic with great models

He’s playing trains from Massachusetts witch is where I am from

As an MBTA Railfan from Rhode Island, I approve this video

a creepy fact about somewhere wales is that if you go down in the mines you could hear a scream

Rail Sim Universe has added new trains and they are working on making new maps soon.

For tycoon style game, you can try roscale sandbox

I suggest if you do another same video to put Generation Trains in the video😁

i mostly agree whit everything in your list execpt for scr being number 3 sure it may be large but its super strict for how easy it is thats juts my opion btw

Wow trainware has barely changed in 4-5 years - crazy how far ahead of its time it once was though

PTA is fun but they are so harsh in discord crazy stuff lmao and the fact that NEC Simulator isn’t on here is crazy

I am proud to be a Train Sim contributor

Lol rails of DG County got remade so it is completely worth a re visit now it feels like a really good realistic train game

Honestly I agree for the most part

btw metra train sim is based off the racetrack and is a real route, it’s the bnsf line

5:52 no way bro just said that

there were to many that were not put in here but i wont complaine btw RSU has gotten many updates need to do a recap on that cause the more people that know the better it will be

Also Train Sim has a lot of trains, you just have to go to the shop bruh

train sim now had alot of updates from the time you played.. now it has more than 20 trains, controls arent as confusing and some bugs are fixed.. though it still lags a lot edit after 6 months: a CRAPLOAD more trains, new maps and some lag issue fixes

make one about transport games, bus, taxi, i find these games very peaceful and fun

There's also cool Philippine railway games, an example would be Daang Bakal of Ablaze

Pov: Half of them are not suitable for mobile. (Somewhere wales used to be, but new updates made it too much)
