Rail Pioneer

Rail Pioneer Walkthrough

Rail Pioneer is a simple train game that hearkens back to the classic days of rail transport. Rail Pioneer features simple top-down graphics, easy-to-learn mouse controls, and challenging gameplay that requires patience.

The objective of Rail Pioneer to to construct a track so that the train can cross the finish line on each stage. If the train runs off of the track or collides with a mountain or tree, you will fail the level. You are given an unlimited number of attempts to complete each level as long as you keep your current gameplay session active. Your progress is not saved in this train game, so you will have to start from the beginning if you end your session.

Rail Pioneer uses all-mouse controls. Click on segments of track to select them and click on the ground where you wish to place them. In order to place track pieces, they must be able to fit where you are trying to place them, so there must be no trees or mountains blocking the area. If you choose the wrong piece of track, you will not be able to cancel your choice; you will have to place the track in a location of the stage that will not effect the journey of the train. You cannot pan the camera in this train game, so it is best to wait until the train nears the end of the track before placing the next segment to make sure that the train is not guided into a hazard. Be quick about it though, because you don't want the train to derail!

As you progress in this train game, more tools will become available. More track spawners will be unlocked allowing you to place track segments at a faster pace. Different track segments will becomes available as well, including forked sections of track. After placing a forked section, click on the arrow in front of or behind the fork of the track that you want the train to follow.. Finally, tools will become available allowing you to clear trees and mountains, arguably making the game easier in later levels.

Rail Pioneer is a fun train game, but it is not perfect. The levels are randomly generated, and it is possible for an obstacle to be placed right at the end of the track, making it impossible to beat a level. If this happens, just restart the level until it becomes passable; you will not be penalized for the number of times that you have to replay. Despite this flaw, fans of puzzle games will enjoy Rail Pioneer!
