About the game

What is an Art of the Rail server?

Art of the Rail, which some players search for as Art of Rail, is a railway tycoon game built for multiplayer. You lay track, connect towns and industries, run trains and grow a transport economy, either together or against each other. In co-op, your group shares one network. In competitive sessions, rival companies fight over routes and profits. With your own dedicated server, that shared world no longer depends on one player's PC staying on.

Your server keeps the rail network running 24/7, so everyone in your group can join whenever they have time and pick up where the last shift left off. You pick the location closest to your players and manage everything in the ZapX panel from your browser or phone. Slots are unlimited, so your group size is never tied to a player cap.
