Drive the SpeedTrain around the train tracks and collect all the diamonds to advance through levels! Control the path of the SpeedTrain by switching the junction points, and by flipping the trains to go either backwards or forwards. Go up and down levels with the super TrainLifters! Don't crash into a incorrectly switched junction point! 45 levels! Each level gets more and more complex and difficult. The controls are very simple to operate. SpeedTrains is easy to play, but not so easy to master....
