About NIMBY Rails

✦ AI summary

Build railways across real-world maps with 1cm precision, from Lisbon to Shanghai if you want, managing stations, signals, and train lines to serve simulated passengers and turn a profit. Whether you want streamlined automation or granular control over every track and signal, NIMBY Rails lets you test your rail obsessions at any complexity level you choose.

NIMBY Rails is a management sandbox for railways you build in the real world. Design train tracks, set up lines, and get that stock rolling to make money and serve the needs of the population. Do you have strong opinions on rail projects and want to test your own ideas? This game was made for you.
  • The world is your canvas. Design and play on a fully detailed real world map with 1cm resolution. A rail link from Lisbon to Shanghai? Anchorage to Buenos Aires? Cape Town to Rabat? Why not!
  • Your tracks will need to respect real, existing roads and streets. Too many crossings may make your designs not viable.
  • Streamlined circulation mechanics so you don't get bogged down by the details. Build and run a large network easily.
  • Only as complex as you want it. Easily build stations with automatic double track and automatic entrance/exit signaling, and link them in a couple clicks with automatic double tracks.
  • But do you have your own ideas about signals? Want to dive into detailed station design? Have a flying junction concept you are dying to test? Just disable the automatic aids in the track editor and individually control every every track, signal and building if you desire to do so.
  • Trams, subways, commuter, regional and high speed trains. Tunnels, viaducts and ground tracks with a variety trade offs on the environment, train speed, and your company wallet.
  • Simulated train and station demand, down to simulating individual passengers. Passengers can, and will, engage in train trips that make them board multiple trains, waiting in transfer stations.
  • Demand flow based on time of day and time of week, with time zone support. Find it boring when night time comes and the stations are deserted? No problem, start a new line ten time zones away.
  • Passengers will continuously rate their experience based on the trip time and the fares you impose on them, with effects on the demand of the stations they visit.
  • Single player and offline first.
  • Optional cooperative multiplayer: build together in real time with friends and others you invite to your hosted server session.

i'm very glad this exists its wonderful my one criticism is that it still doesn't take into account elevation at all, which is a little sad

Recommended Sep 5, 2026
A good game to zone out on and build whatever you want on a real world map. Some great mechanics that allow you to completly rebuild a country's network, or rebuild station for station the line you live on. 10/10 game with regular updates.
Recommended Aug 29, 2026
If you like trains and managing them this game is for you. This game is quite chill relaxed and calm you can build train stations, train lines and much more and if you want to recreate your citys network there is a small icon that shows you that there is a station there in real life.
