Dear RailFans

Today is a very important day!

The long-awaited update & Cargo Pack DLC has just arrived at the final station.

In today's update you will receive a fully functional ETCS (European Train Control System) level 1 & 2, new missions with AI movement and shunting operations, as well as numerous updates.

What many people are waiting for is our first DLC - Cargo Pack, created in cooperation with an external developer.

https://steamproxy.net/steamstore/app/2868050/SimRail__The_Railway_Simulator_Cargo_Pack/

You will have the opportunity to compete with the heaviest coal trains, for which the ET22 locomotive was designed, as well as InterRegio passenger trains. The longest mission is over 4 hours of driving! Additionally, it is the first SimRail vehicle with a full starting procedure and a functional engine room.

Before starting the game, we highly recommend completing the tutorials of the ETCS system and the ET22 locomotive!
