Like the Western Train

In the train that you are directing you will go through different landscapes and settings from Arizona to Nebraska. On this path you will have a lot to explore such as gold mines, control cranes or overcome the obstacles that lie ahead to continue your journey.
Other more simulation style games
If you are not a child, you surely demand games that are more realistic that are focused on simulating train driving. These are interesting options that any train fan should consider.

This makes it an interesting option if you want to play in those dead times that you have.
While you are driving your train you will see a fuel marker appear at the top. This is consumed as you travel and is a real limiter on your way. You must learn to distribute it correctly, avoiding pressing the accelerator when you are on a downhill slope for example, and other tricks that you will discover yourself as you play.
Train Taxi
You are in front of a esplanade that has a train line and obviously you will have to travel between all the stations to pick up the passengers. The more passengers you pick up, the longer the train will be, of course. Each of the maps you face is totally different and represents a new challenge for you that you will have to memorize.
Although, the real magic of this game is that you should never collide with yourself. As we have mentioned, each of the passengers increases the number of wagons and if you choose the route more, in the end you will end up colliding with yourself . The experience you have is quite similar to the classic game ‘Snake’ where you should not eat your own snake body. This is the experience that they have now wanted to transfer to the world of trains.
What game is the most recommended?
There are many options that have been raised in the previous categories. If you want us to tell you which in our opinion is the most fun, that is the ‘Lola’s Alphabet Train’. It is the most recommended option in the case of a dedicated game for children. The fact of learning simply Playing and having a good time is always vital. You have to be honest and that is that when you are young, what you always have in your head is to be on the street or play with the video console and not pick up a book or listen to a lesson That is why this ‘camouflage’ system to learn is more interesting and the truth is that it is very standardized in the gaming world with other options such as ‘Minecraft’ that has also been adapted to the education of the little ones.
But if what you are really looking for is a mode that is much more realistic , the best option to consider is ” Subway Simulator 3.” You can perfectly control a very authentic looking train and traveling around the world doing a crowd of stops. This is to be appreciated by anyone who is fond of the world of trains, since in addition to driving, you have to be very aware of the time and pick up all the passengers at their stops. In short, it is a realistic option which is a great turnaround to everything that has been presented in the most ‘childish’ options but which is still tremendously addictive.
