This video was fully recorded on a laptop GPU, which we think gives you a nice idea of how the MOW Update of Railroader might look on your system – and not a high-end gaming rig.

157 years ago, the driving of the golden spike marked the meeting of the Central Pacific and Union Pacific Railroads at Promontory Summit – the first transcontinental railroad in the United States.

We're celebrating that remarkable accomplishment today with two things: our biggest sale on Railroader to date (25%!), and a video overview of the MOW mechanics in our forthcoming update.

It took about six years to complete the transcontinental railroad, and while the MOW update hasn't been in progress for six years, it sure feels like a long time. To us as well as you! It is critically important to us that we get this next update right, in particular its modding features, and that is taking time. As always, we thank you for your patience and support!

A big thank you to Sam, the newest member of the Railroader team, for creating this video. Without further ado, here's the video. More to come!
