ポイントが高い
です！このゲームは私のお気に入りであり

### 4/5 — 貨物列車の貨車を追加してほしいです🙇

*2026-04-01*

貨物列車の種類も増えてきましたがもうちょっと増やしてほしいのがあります。

1つ目:貨物の車掌車を追加してほしい
2つ目:タンク車を追加してほしい
3つ目:ホッパー車を追加してほしい
4つ目:貨物の運用を始めるまえにどうゆう貨車の編成にするかを決めれるようにしてほしい
この4つを今後のアップデートで追加してほしいです。

### 2/5 — なんでアップデートしたん？

*2025-08-26*

アップデートする前は簡単に全ての電車を運転できたし、快速がないからこそ臨時列車のワクワク感があったし、貨物列車も簡単に運転できないようになっていたから僕は、アップデートしない方がよかったと思います。

### 5/5 — ワンマン列車1

*2025-07-24*

路線が長くなり飽きずにゲームができるようになった。
車両が増えて開放された時の興奮🤩が増えた。

### 5/5 — このまま車両、運転航路共に増やしていってほしい。

*2025-07-07*

今回のアップデートでは車両が追加されたので次のアップデートでは運転航路などを増やしていってほしい。課金でもいい。

### 2/5 — うーん…。

*2025-07-07*

まだこの大幅な車両追加のアップデート後はプレイしてはいませんが、僕の要望としては、キハ58を課金にする代わりにキハ10を無課金にして欲しいなと思います。なぜなら、キハ58は、ポイントをたくさん貯めないといけないからすぐには遊べないし、普通用のはずなのに特急用という非現実的すぎる車両でちょっと嫌です。一方でキハ10は、扉の開け方閉め方が面白いし、車両自体もカッコいいです。ですのでできれば先ほど言った通り、キハ58を課金にして、代わりにキハ10を無課金にしていただければなと思います。

### 3/5 — ポイント

*2025-04-08*

全ステージ解放に必要なポイントが上がって
もらえるポイントの数がほとんど変わってないのはおかしくないか?

### 5/5 — 最高！！

*2025-02-02*

このゲームを昔からやっていますが、昔から楽しいです。最近は路線の延伸や車両の追加があってさらに楽しくなったと思います。これからも応援しています！

### 2/5 — 重すぎる

*2024-12-22*

アプデされてから前よりかなり重くなった
プレイに支障きたしまくり
