Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

I want me $8 back. This game sucks for its price. :/

This game is horrible compared to some other free train sim games ( specifically British rail by fourth rail on Roblox) I want my money back :(

Adding Famous Steam Locomotives of the USA

I’ve noticed the GS-4 Pack, the 250th pack, and the Big Boy pack, yet they’ve didn’t add N&W 611, the OG SP 4449 with the other whistle, Milwaukee Road 261, AC-12 Cab Forward 4294, UP 844, and several others. I wish the would just add them in so I can finally enjoy the game. I also want them to have settings to change the lighting and be able to edit routes like Trainz Sim 2 on mobile. I know it couldn’t be possible, but I wish they could. Until then, I’ll give this 3/5 stars for not much additional Famous North American Steam Locomotives and unchangeable settings on mobile.

★★★★★Oct 12, 2026
Screw this game

None of the mods have numbers on the locomotive and there’s no way to edit the properties. Can’t multi place cars so it takes an hour to build a single train. Not worth the money anymore and not worth the time because they haven’t done a thing with any of my emails I’ve send dozens of them. I am absolutely done. This is a waste of my time. Do not buy this game. I’m going to go back to trainz 2.

★★★★★Sep 28, 2026
Please update this app!

I have spent hundreds of dollars purchasing nearly everything on this sim and I just want it to work. In theory it’s a fantastic sim but all the bugs are terrible at least on iPhone 16PM iOS 27. Please please fix this.

Minor Bugs

We need more American steam! Good game nonetheless, some sounds don’t match the locomotive they are on but A for Effort!
