People gather in connected towns, which then develop into larger cities.
In "A-Train 9," you can realistically experience the joy of such city building.

The total number of real-life trains included is over 300!
In addition, it comes with a wealth of features that allow for rail operations exactly as you envision them, such as train coupling and train formation customization.
