TrainStation 3 Dev Diary: Trains – The Heart of the Journey

In this fourth episode of our Developer Diaries, we’re focusing on what truly makes TrainStation 3 special—the trains themselves! How do we choose the trains? How do we animate their intricate mechanics? Find out now!

A Celebration of Trains

Trains are more than just vehicles in TrainStation 3; they are the soul of the game. From the mighty steam locomotives of the past to sleek, modern engines, we want every player to fully experience their beauty and power. That’s why we’ve designed the game to put trains front and center—allowing you to admire them, interact with them, and follow them on their journeys.

Our rail yard is a dynamic hub where trains arrive, couple with wagons, depart, and unload—all fully animated to capture the precision and rhythm of real-life railway operations. And with the free camera mode, you can follow your locomotives as they travel across stunning landscapes, turning your screen into a living, breathing railway diorama.
