## What is Train Simulator PRO 2018?

Have you ever dreamed of being a train engineer? Train Simulator PRO 2018 will let you drive carefully modeled locomotives leading passenger or freight trains across the eastern half of the US. Whether you like fast passenger locomotives or powerful freight movers able to pull dozens of cars, in our game you will find it all. Whatever you choose, you will have to watch out for speed limits, rail crossings, signals and other trains. Plan your route wisely to maximize profits and create the most powerful railway company in the US!

### 5/5 — Love this game but I have something to say

*2026-02-02, version 1.5*

When I was drive my train like regular then a hill and it just stopped and I am a train master and did everything to make it go uphill and I’m still at the spot

### 5/5 — Best train game ever

*2025-05-24, version 1.5*

This is the best train game I’ve ever had but just one thing it could use a bigger map

### 5/5 — Bug Report – Grade Crossing Horn Issue in Train Pro 2018

*2025-05-22*

First off, thank you for creating Train Pro 2018. It’s still one of the most enjoyable train sims available on iOS, and I really appreciate the effort you put into making it realistic and engaging.
I wanted to report a bug that still affects gameplay, especially for those of us who enjoy longer trains. The issue happens when pulling a consist with 31 railcars or more. If you go slowly over a grade crossing, the game gives a citation for not using the horn, even if the horn was sounded correctly when the locomotives first approached the crossing. This seems to occur when the last railcar is going over the crossing, almost like the game expects the horn to be blown again at the end of the train.
It's a small bug, but it impacts the realism and penalizes players unfairly for following the rules properly. If there’s any chance this could be patched in a small update, I’m sure many fans, myself included, would really appreciate it.
Thank you again for your work and for continuing to support simulation fans over the years!
Best regards, JellyJam91

### 1/5 — Oyun açılmıyor

*2025-03-12, version 1.5*

Oyun açılmıyor tamamen rezalet

### 1/5 — Scam 💰

*2024-12-17*

COMPLETE SCAM. This is a very cheap and useless game and is not worth the price at all.  Don’t fall for the pictures and videos, they are just false advertisements. First of all, you cannot even let you change the weather you drive in. Secondly, the game doesn’t let you choose your starting location on the map. Thirdly, the graphics are pretty trash. I don’t expect the graphics to be anything crazy good as this is just for phones and tablets but it doesn’t match the photos on the App Store. And lastly, the stupidest part, it has a RIDICULOUS in-game currency that takes you forever to earn and for just ONE Amtrak locomotive, it is 610 diamonds 💎!! WE ARE ALREADY PAYING GOOD MONEY FOR THIS GAME and you STILL have to collect and earn stupid coins and diamonds to get locomotives and train cars and do missions! Absolutely insane. This is a complete scam and waste of your money. Don’t learn the hard way and the make the mistake I did! There are so many better Train Sims to choose from. Some are free too!

### 4/5 — 1 problem

*2024-12-15*

this game was great and all with a wide selection of trains and good graphics, but there's one problem which is that whenever I drive my train for a little bit I lose money for no reason like I was following the speed limit. I wasn't taking damage from speeding or using the brakes too often like I just started to lose money for no reason I used to be at $500 but now I'm at -2000 if you see this developers, please fix it

### 4/5 — Love this game!!

*2024-01-14, version 1.5*

I love this game but I’d like to see more. 

Add multiple stops for freight missions and more trains. Let’s put someone in the cockpit as well, time for update🙃🙃

### 4/5 — Good but slow to progress

*2023-08-12*

It’s a good game but it takes so long to progress and earn money that you lose interest. Need to be able to sell trains and rolling stock. Steam engines would be a good feature also

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2023-04-08*

Jeu pas très facile au début mais après un bon petit jeu de simulation avec de bon graphisme.  Il manque le français mais on arrive à comprendre quand même.  
Il vaut son prix.

### 5/5 — 無料版の方が

*2023-01-23*

性能良くなってきてるし
エンジンオン オフできる
こっちは買う必要性が無くなってきてる
