The menu comes back Fixed Windows virtual desktops: the menu now follows you to whichever desktop you're on. Previously it stayed behind on the desktop the game launched from — the train strip followed you, the menu didn't, so opening it did nothing you could see. Minimized menu:
Tweaked the analytics a bit.
Arrivals you can't miss Your train used to arrive in complete silence. If you were working in another window — which is rather the point of the game — nothing told you the trip was done, and the fare just sat there uncollected. A COLLECT banner now appears on the strip when your
- Fixed the game strip covering menu and tutorial controls on smaller displays. - Tutorial steps now automatically scroll required buttons into view. - Repositioned the Log Flatcar tutorial instructions for clearer visibility. - The final tutorial step now highlights the always-v

Booster Units Added the new Booster Unit to the Caboose mystery draw. Each Booster Unit allows you to attach one additional engine for a single trip. Booster Units stack, supporting trains with up to six engines. Booster Units attach automatically when you select additional engin
Analytics Update Added gameplay analytics to help us understand progression, trips, purchases, and balance the game more effectively. No gameplay or balance changes in this update.
New Goods, Cars & Mystery Cabooses New Goods and Cars Added Grain as a new good. Added Mail as a new good. Added the Grain Hopper car for transporting Grain. Added the Railway Post Office car for transporting Mail. Cross-Country now produces Grain. International now produces
Long trains no longer look like they've stopped - A heavily loaded train really is slow — that's the trade for hauling more — but the scenery barely moved, so it read as broken rather than laden. Big consists now scroll at a livelier rate on screen. - Typing still visibly speeds
Fixed: Mac players on Intel couldn't launch the game at all - The macOS build was Apple Silicon only, so Intel Macs failed to start with "OS Error: 3584". It's now a universal build and runs on both Intel and Apple Silicon. If you hit that error, update and try again. Fixed: coul
Fixed: typing stopped counting on Windows - Windows could silently disable the game's keyboard listener, after which typing no longer moved your train for the rest of the session. The game now re-checks the listener every few seconds and restores it automatically, so if it drops
Sorting & filtering - Sort your cars by type, enhancement, most recently bought, or how many you own - Filter the car list to a single cargo type - Sort engines by cars pulled or top speed - Both work in the Rail Yard and on the trip screen when you're picking a train — and t

• Fixed the game quitting itself during play. A recoverable graphics hiccup was being treated as fatal — the game would vanish with no warning, and because it never got a chance to save, any progress since your last save went with it. It now recovers and carries on. • The game no
Fixes • Fixed the menu freezing when opened from the taskbar — it would show but ignore every click until you restarted the game. (Windows) Added • Buying an enhancement now shows you what you rolled, revealed on the split-flap boards. Previously the result flashed by in a messag
Fixes • Fixed several engines rendering wrong — missing their wheels and sitting oddly above the track. The EMD F7, Alco PA, EMD GP30 and Class 55 Deltic are all correct now. • Fixed a number of engine paint schemes not appearing at all. If you painted an engine and it vanished,
• Fixed enhancing a car while the train was moving taking your Tickets without giving you the enhancement. You can now enhance mid-trip and it applies right away, including to the run you're on. Everyone affected has had their Tickets refunded automatically — no need to contact u
• Fixed the tutorial's "buy 3 more Log Flatcars" step being impossible to complete. Car prices rise as you buy more of the same type, but the tutorial wasn't accounting for that when making sure you could afford them — so it left you short on the last car with no way forward. • I
Economy Rebalance • Station upgrades now cost roughly what the engine they unlock is worth, instead of a flat fee. Maxing out a town is a real investment. • Each station level now unlocks exactly one new train — no more filler levels. Your towns keep every engine they'd already u
