Steam Store description

Steam Workshop Download mods made by the player community in the NIMBY Rails Depot. About the Game 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…
