Welcome

Welcome to the Derail Valley manual.

If you’re a new user, before reading the manual we suggest you start a new career session with the tutorial enabled. Completing the tutorial will get you up to speed.

Once you’re familiar with the basics and would like to expand your understanding of the game’s features, this manual will come in handy.

Next, you may want to learn about the Career and Sandbox game modes.

Note: Derail Valley and its manual are not intended or suitable for training in the field of real railroad engineering. While it mimics reality to an extent, Derail Valley is still a game. Some of the explanations, features and lingo used are kept to a level that isn’t too difficult to grasp by an average user.
