For new players: This is the best entry point. The tutorial now actually explains how to deal with the infamous “loop line” junctions, and the difficulty curve is fair.
This is a game-changer. You can now pull the chain (the emergency stop). But be careful: Do it without a valid reason (like a cow on the track), and you’ll incur a penalty and a delay on your route score. Do it during an actual emergency, and you get bonus points for realism. indian train simulator 1.0.1
