Creating a High-Speed Express Route

Planning Long-Distance Tracks

High-speed rail units in Steel Pulse Transit are optimized for express service between distant stations. Build long, straight track segments with gentle curves to allow these trains to reach their maximum speed. Space stations 500+ blocks apart to justify the speed advantage. Elevate your track on supports or bridges for scenic high-speed corridors.

Operating Express Services

Spawn a high-speed rail set and configure it to serve only major stations, skipping local stops. These trains accelerate smoothly and maintain high velocity on straightaways. Use the MTR system to set express schedules with longer intervals between departures than local services.

For realism, create separate local and express lines on parallel tracks, or use the same track with different train assignments. The detailed driver cab interiors are particularly impressive at speed—board the train to experience the high-speed journey firsthand.
