Licenses Overview

Licenses are the means of growing one's career as a train driver in Derail Valley. They allow the drivers to take better paying orders and use better locomotives , among other things. Licenses can be bought at the career manager machines , with the money earned from completed orders . There's a caveat however - the more licenses one owns, the more they need to pay their fees . Licenses increase the driver’s copay and also reduce their time bonus deadline .

Some licenses have prerequisites, requiring the driver to own other licenses before becoming purchasable themselves.

Before deciding on a purchase, the driver can print the license sample at a career manager for more information, to see its effect on copay or time bonus, for example. The driver can only buy licenses if they have no pending fees.

When a license is purchased, it is issued as a printed document. The driver doesn’t need to have license documents on them to use them, but can instead keep them safely stored at home .
