Train Driver 2 is a free simulator that enables us to take on the role of a train operator or a train dispatcher. The game focuses on multiplayer mode, but it also has an offline mode. The title was developed by Polish developers, who are also railway enthusiasts. The team established to work on the game does not have a specific name - the creators call themselves "Team TD2".

Mechanics

In Train Driver 2 we get the opportunity to play the role of a train driver or dispatcher. Depending on what we decide on, the game may look significantly different.

As a driver we travel along railway tracks in Poland (the map is extensive and the stations are faithfully reproduced), performing various manoeuvres and listening to the voice of traffic managers (depending on the selected mode, people or AI can play this role). It is also possible to drive a switcher - then our task will be to perform various tasks within one station. The player has a wide range of trains at their disposal - passenger, fast, express and freight. Train Driver 2 also offers a wide selection of realistic cars and locomotives, both diesel and electri, including EN54 or EN57 models.
