Trains
Trains are the basis of Rails Unlimited Classic. They are used for everything in the game, ranging from transportation to frigate. The trains are divided into different countries of origin and type. Different trains have different speeds and different amount of passengers it can carry, some can cost more than others

Rails Unlimited Classic has a very large international (though predominantly North American) selection of trains to choose from. There are currently four types of passenger and freight trains, these being:


 * Diesel - diesel-powered trains of various types
 * Electric - electric-powered trains of various types
 * Steam - steam-powered trains of various types
 * Transit - smaller, commuter-oriented trains, typically electric-powered.

Of these trains, they are further divided among two categories - Standard trains (trains which are free to drive) and Premium trains (trains which are sold at a small price via game passes and then can be driven after purchasing a corresponding pass).

History
The game Rails Unlimited was founded by a former developer in February 2017, and originally started as a small semi-futuristic train simulator featuring fictional commuter trains. After a brief test launch the same year, the game was closed and reworked (twice, development was restarted at some point) into a more fleshed-out driving simulator with a new map and new selection of more realistic trains based on a mix of real and fictional designs. In July 2017, this new version of the game was released to the public under an "early access" fee, and became known as "Phase 3" due to it being the third main version of Rails Unlimited. Between then and 2019, the map was slowly expanded and new trains were continuously added. In late 2019, a new map replaced the old one, and the old one was moved to a new unused place and called "Rails Unlimited Classic". Since then, the map has been gradually tweaked over the years to replace tacky additions and accommodate new gameplay features (such as a tram line).

Trivia

 * As of December 3, 2021, Rails Unlimited Classic currently has 186 public drivable trains in the Standard and Premium categories combined.
 * During the seasons of autumn and winter, the map is modified to feature distinctive features of each season (trees with colored leaves and covering the map with snow with snow, respectively).
