Trans-Siberian Railway Simulator New Release - February 24, 2026

Developer announces the launch of Trans-Siberian Railway Simulator, putting players in control of a Soviet locomotive on the world's longest railway line.

In this simulation, you must navigate a dangerous journey fraught with mafia rivals, bandits, wild animals, constant breakdowns, severe frosts, hunger, and even a hangover. The central question: how far can you travel before your supplies run out?

Highlights

  • Coupler can now break when wagons are connected at excessive speeds.
  • Improved access to coupler component previews in Inspect Mode.
  • Added sound effects for when a part reaches 0% durability and for jammed or broken levers.
  • Broken parts now have a tangible effect on comfort, performance, and safety.
  • Dynamic physics: broken parts can cause the locomotive to tilt, bounce, sway, vibrate, or suffer braking and pressure issues.
  • Scaling difficulty: problems intensify as more parts become damaged.
  • Speeding penalties: exceeding the speed limit at “Slow Down” signs can cause full damage to a random part.
  • Reconfigured a switch at Krasnoyarsk station to simplify maneuvers.

New Features

  • Coupler failure mechanic (breakage at excessive connection speeds).
  • Enhanced Inspect Mode preview for coupler components.
  • Durability‑zero and lever‑jam sound effects.
  • Physical impact of broken parts on comfort, performance, and safety.
  • Dynamic locomotive reactions (tilt, bounce, sway, vibration, braking/pressure issues).
  • Difficulty scaling with cumulative part damage.
  • Speed‑limit penalty causing random part damage.
  • Optimized switch layout at Krasnoyarsk station.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed stuttering in locomotive driving sounds.
