help RailWorks FAQ

Is RailWorks the same game as Train Simulator?

Essentially yes — RailWorks launched in 2009 and its line evolved into the annually updated Train Simulator series from Dovetail Games. If you bought RailWorks content back then, it carried forward into later Train Simulator releases on Steam.

Who developed RailWorks?

RailWorks was created by RailSimulator.com, the company that later renamed itself Dovetail Games. It was the successor to Kuju Entertainment's 2007 title Rail Simulator, and Dovetail has remained the dominant name in train sims ever since.

Can you still buy RailWorks today?

The original 2009 release is a legacy product, as Dovetail Games moved on to the annual Train Simulator releases and, later, the Unreal Engine-based Train Sim World line. Its Steam ecosystem of routes and locomotives lives on through the successor Train Simulator platform.

How does RailWorks handle routes and trains — are they all included?

RailWorks shipped with a base set of routes and locomotives and relied heavily on paid DLC, distributed through Steam, for additional content. That DLC-driven model of add-on routes and trains became the signature of the whole Train Simulator franchise.
